Thank you SO MUCH to all of the Parents who attended our coffee morning on Tuesday.

We were fortunate enough to have representatives from two outside agencies - M-Thrive and Parent Champions - to talk about how parents can support their children with Mental Health and SEN needs.

It was a fantastic morning with a fantastic, relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

Our phone lines are now fully operational again. Apologies for the inconvenience caused!

A reminder about the details of Wednesday’s Book Fair…

Are you looking for ideas to support your child’s reading? Do you struggle to find enjoyment in reading together?

We will be holding a series of ‘Reading Mornings’ to offer you the support you need to make reading with your child/ren fun. See the poster below for more information.

Today in Year 4, the children had a workshop all about how sound is made. The children got to take parts in lots of mini experiments discovering all about sound. This was a great way to start their new Sound Science unit. The children got to discover about soundwaves, how different materials can change their pitch and also how instruments make different pitches/sounds. It SOUNDS like fun 🤣🤣🤣

Our Book Fair is this Wednesday after school! The children in 6APS got a sneak preview of the books available - and enjoyed finding all of the titles about Mrs Pettigrew Stoll’s favourite animal!

We are currently experiencing technical problems with our telephone system, meaning we cannot currently receive phone calls.

For urgent enquiries, please contact us via Facebook.

We will let you know once things are fixed. Thanks for your understanding and apologies for the inconvenience.

Have a look at the poster below to find out more information about our Library club!

Due to technical issues in the hall, we will not be able to hold our Eid assembly as planned. Children will be having their assemblies in class. So, if you were intending to come in for the assembly, this will not be possible. The rest of the day will go ahead as planned. Hopefully the sun will come out!

You are more than welcome to come along to your child's party - please see the timings on the previous Parent Mail. If you do pop along, please sign in at the gate via the main office.

Eid Mubarak.
