Class Group Photos

On Tuesday 27th April a photographer is in school to

take class group photos. This year the photos will be

taken outside in the playground. Children must come

to school in their school uniform, with plain socks and dark shoes.

Nursery Class September 2021 If you have a child approaching nursery age, and would like to apply for a place in our nursery starting September 2021, please contact the school office for more details on how to apply.

What are your children learning about at the moment?

How can you support them to succeed?

In Nursery they are enjoying the story of The

Enormous Turnip and learning to work together

as a team to solve problems.

You can support your child by helping them to spot

numbers in the environment– how many can you count?

In Reception they have been busy planting

seeds and learning about how things grow

as well as doubling and halving. Check out Tapestry for

weekly updates. You can support your child by reading

with them at home regularly– regular readers move up

the rocket!

In Year One they are learning all about London.

You can support your child by sharing any

knowledge you have about our capital city and

using Google or Google maps to look at famous

landmarks such as The London Eye, Houses of

Parliament or The Shard and Tower Bridge.

In Year Two their Under the Sea theme from

last term has evolved into ‘Water, Water, Every-

where’ and they are learning about how water is

in every part of our lives. They started the Enquiry with

Grace Darling and lighthouses. You can join your child

on this journey of exploration by asking them what they

have enjoyed learning so far and building on this together

to deepen their knowledge.
