Today is National Handwriting Day, celebrating the art and personal touch of handwriting.
Today, was dedicated to acknowledging the importance of handwritten notes, letters, and stories in an increasingly digital world. We are very proud of each and every child and their individual progress.

Before Christmas, we welcomed Ofsted into our childcare provision at Mesne Lea Primary School.
Today, it gives us great pride to be able to share the report and feedback provided by the assessors.
Here is a snippet of the praise they had for our team, setting and activitiesโฆ

Morning all
Happy Snow Day
Just a reminder for tomorrow: please send a warm coat, gloves and hat if possible. Also, a change of footwear if they are travelling in their wellies. It is helpful if they bring extra pair of shoes/trainers for playtime, so they can explore the snow. We do not want them to be cold all day if they play out in the shoes they are wearing. Thank you
Please take extra care, as there are some slippy and icy bits under the snow. Remember to take care when dropping off at before school club tomorrow too, as we may have not have managed to grit all the pathways by that time.
If you wish to share your snow pictures, then you can either do so in the comments or privately on class dojo/tapestry. Itโs lovely to see the children having fun and exploring the snow.
Thank you
See you all tomorrow
