Weekly News Update

Dear Parents and Carers,

We have had a busy week!

On Tuesday, KS1 visited the church to take part in ‘Experience Easter’, led by Rev Alice. The children participated in activities that taught them about the different parts of the Easter story. They were so well behaved, and we were very proud of them.

On Thursday, KS1 visited Millfield to take part in a ‘Frozen Science Show’, which was a fantastic experience for everyone.

You may have noticed music on the playground this morning. This is part of a new initiative alongside having a disco at lunchtime, we are introducing ‘Feel Good Fridays’, celebrating getting to the end of the week and promoting good attendance at school.

With the new guidance regarding screen time for under 5s, from next week we will be posting advice on Class Dojo through ‘Tech Tuesdays’, which will be shared by one of our parents. You can also find more information here:

We are really looking forward to seeing all your Easter bonnets and head decorations next week. The Easter Bonnet Parade will leave school by the library at 9:45am, and the church service will begin at 10:00am. Please do join us! Don’t forget to give us your biggest cheers and claps as we walk down to the church.

We have had 33 responses to the Spring Parent Survey so far—just a little way to go to reach 100. We can do this! https://forms.gle/fJ9DowgEvPEuJE9m8

Wishing you all a peaceful and joyful weekend, and we look forward to celebrating Easter together next week.
