📅 TWO WEEKS TO GO!

A quick reminder that we are offering our parents and carers the chance to attend a fantastic Baby & Child First Aid Course with the brilliant team at Mini First Aid — the same company who provide training for our Year 5 children! ⭐

📅 Monday 15th June
📍 KS2 Hall
⏰ 9am-11am
💷 £30 per adult

The 2 hour session will cover essential first aid skills including:
✅ CPR
✅ Choking
✅ Burns & Bleeding
✅ Breaks & Bumps
✅ Febrile Seizures
✅ Meningitis & Sepsis Awareness

This course is packed with invaluable knowledge and practical advice. ❤️

Places are limited, so book now using the link in the email sent to your inbox!

👋If you are one of our new Nursery or Reception starter parents/carers and would like to know more or book a place, please email [email protected].

We hope lots of you can take advantage of this invaluable opportunity!

Don’t forget about our fantastic ‘meet the teacher’ sessions that are coming up this half term! It’s an excellent opportunity to start to build relationships with the people who will be looking after your babies for a full year!

Not many schools offer this but we think it’s just as important as the children meeting staff!

If you haven’t signed up yet, please just turn up on the right day.

Y1 are kicking us off tomorrow at 4:30pm. Who’s ready to play with some curiosity approach building blocks and learn all about Fred the Frog?? 🐸

Year One Parents/Carers,

Please can you send your children to school tomorrow in their usual PE kit as Year One's PE day is Tuesday morning instead of Thursday morning this week.

Thank you,
Team Year One

Today, our amazing children from the Community Enrichment Group visited our local care home and library to spread kindness throughout the community. 💙

The children proudly handed out kindness cards and Community Hero Certificates, bringing smiles, gratitude, and joy to everyone they met.

It was wonderful to see them making meaningful connections across generations and celebrating those who make a difference in our community every day.

We are so proud of their kindness, confidence, and community spirit! 🌟

Foundation Stage families don't forget about our FS Book Fair happening this week!
This will be held in our Nursery building on Tuesday 2nd June until Wednesday 3rd June and will be open from 11-11:30 for morning parents and 3:30 for afternoons.
It will then move to FS2 for Thursday 4th June and Friday 5th June after school.
All the books are aimed at our FS1 and FS2 children so make sure you come and have a look!

The Year 6 Cricket Team are having fun at the Cricket Tournament 🏏 Wish us luck and hope it stays dry 🤞

🌿 Forest School Sessions 🌿

Mr Hunt’s class will be accessing the Wild Wood for their Forest School session tomorrow afternoon.

Whilst we have been enjoying some lovely warm sunshine, the forecast for tomorrow is rain 🌧️ Please ensure your child comes with appropriate footwear and a waterproof coat so they can enjoy their session comfortably, whatever the weather!

Our Monday morning Wild Wood Enrichment session will also be going ahead as normal. Children attending will also need suitable footwear and a waterproof coat.

Details of further Forest School sessions will be posted tomorrow 🌿

Thank you for your support 😊

Just a bit of a heads up for parents and carers of FS2, Y1, Y2 and Y3…. The great British weather plans to change drastically just in time for our sports days!! Typical!

We planned them early on in the half term so that we had enough time to move them if needed so don’t worry, we’ll make sure they go ahead no matter what!

The Tuesday forecast looks the worst so it’s looking very likely that Y1 and Y2 is a no go but I will confirm on Monday and send a new date and time out ASAP to give you as much notice as possible.

At least we actually had nice weather for the half term break this time though, eh???
