Thank you for everyone’s
support with Red Nose Day last
term. As a result of your
generous donations, we raised
the fantastic sum of £595.69 for
this great cause.
Holiday
Taking holidays in term
time will affect your child’s
schooling as much as any
other absence and we expect
parents to help us by not
taking children away during
term time. Remember that
any savings you think you
may make by taking a
holiday in school time are
offset by the cost to your
child’s education.

Warm weather
Staff Update
Mrs Stevens will be starting her maternity leave at the end of this
term, to have her first baby! We are sure you would like to join us in
wishing her good luck and look forward to hearing all about the new
arrival. Mr Arbiter and Mrs Seager will take over the class for the
remainder of the academic year.
Parking
We have received
complaints from our neigh-
bours at the rear of the
school concerning inconsid-
erate, illegal and dangerous
parking. If you are driving
to school, please ensure you
do not park/stop on yellow
lines, in resident’s allocated
parking spaces or on the
busy main road. Please drop
your children off safely.
Please be aware our Senior
Leadership Team and Com-
munity Wardens will be
patrolling the area regularly.
With the warmer weather finally upon us, we would
like to remind parents that children are able to bring
in a sun hat to use during playtimes. School hats are
for sale (£4.00). Sun cream can also be brought into
school for children to apply if necessary; please be
aware that members of staff are not allowed to apply
cream to any child. Please ensure that all items are clearly labelled. Sunglasses are not
to be brought into school unless medical evidence from a doctor has been received.
Science Day - Friday 21st April
We had an exciting return to school last week, with an
action-packed Science Day on Friday 21st April for the
whole school. There were exciting workshops from
Fizzpop Science and Science Boffins and a visit from
Zoolab with their wonderful animals! We hope the
children enjoyed their ‘scientific day’ and learnt lots of
new and interesting facts!
On Friday 31st March we
held a Multicultural Day in
school. There were fun
drumming workshops for
Years 3-5 and lots of excit-
ing events that the whole
school enjoyed throughout
the day. The children
dressed up to represent their
country and everyone
looked so colourful! Class
1B had lots of fun trying
Indian food, making
Rangoli patterns, dancing to
Bhangra music and creating
Mehndi designs!
Our KS1 children had a visit from the wonderful
Mobile Farm on Tuesday 28th March. The children
were able to meet animals such as sheep, pigs, chickens
and goats up close and learn all about
them and the importance of farming
in this
country.
