Welcome to Nursery
It was lovely to see so many happy faces last week, as our oldest children returned to nursery after the summer holidays. We’ve also welcomed our new children and their families to nursery and we’re looking forward to getting to know them all over the coming weeks.
Reminders
Remember to send your child with a coat and some wellington boots. We play outside in all weathers.
Please name all items of clothing, including coats and shoes. We have already spotted several children with matching shoes; as you can imagine, it’s very tricky to return shoes and cardigans/jumpers to their owners when they are the same size/brand. Thank you in advance for your help.
Science, Computing and Art
It’s been another busy week in all three Year 1 and 2 classes. The children have been learning about how to answer a scientific question – ‘How can we make plasticine float?’
They enjoyed trying various shapes before finding a way to make it float.
We have also had our first taster of our carousel afternoon: learning how to make music on the iPads, art and RE.
Well done to our Golden Star this week.

Look at our fantastic art work!
Linked to our class book, Orion and the Dark, children in all Y3/4 classes created some super works of art. The silhouette cities are really detailed and we love the different sunset skies.
Please label your child’s clothes
We’ve already started to get a collection of unnamed clothes.
All of your child’s uniform needs to be named – this includes their shoes for when they swap into their wellies to play outside.
Top tip: if it comes off – label it 🙂
Coats and wellies
We love to go outside in all weathers. Your child needs a named waterproof coat and a named pair of wellies in school.
Letter formation guide
When teaching the children a new sound, we sing a ditty to support their letter formation. You can use the Letter Formation guide for support when writing with your child at home. This guide is also useful for supporting your child to write their name.
For example:
- t – down the tower, across the tower.
- s – slither down the snake.
- a – around the apple and down the leaf.
First day in F2
We’d like to say a big well done to the F2 children who started today. They settled in straight away and have played really well with their new friends and teachers. They’ve loved exploring the new classroom and all the exciting provision.
We enjoyed having the time to get to know the children and are looking forward to seeing them again. We’ll also be welcoming some more F2 children tomorrow.
See you tomorrow 🙂
A busy first week!
Wow! What a brilliant week we’ve had. All Year 1 and 2 classes have visited the school library to choose a book to take home. This is to be enjoyed alongside the reading scheme books. Please return next Friday (15 September) so your child can choose a different one.
1,2V were impressed by the new hall floor and worked on listening carefully to instructions and balls skills in their first PE lesson. Thank you for making sure your child was not wearing earrings (as per our updated uniform policy) as this ensured we started our PE lesson promptly.
Well done to our first golden star of the new school year.
New news!
I’m very excited to be posting news for the first time within our Year 5 and 6 section of the website!
Welcome to all our Year 5 and 6 children and parents! Mr Lindsay, Miss Barrott and I are really looking forward to the term starting and getting to know you all better. We already have several events booked for the term ahead, including the Year 6 residential; a Christmas theatre trip to the West Yorkshire Playhouse to see a production of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe; a drugs awareness talk; Bikeability training; and a visit to Scholes Library to choose books for our classrooms.
Welcome to school!
This summer, we’ve been busy making the new classroom an exciting place for your child to start school in the week starting 10 September 2017. We’re looking forward to you and your child seeing the new classroom on their first day at school. We hope you’ve had a fantastic summer holiday and that your child is excited to start their learning journey!
