Weekly Update Friday 27th January

Dear Parents and Carers

 

We have had a positive response to the cones being put out,  from parents walking their children to school. We are hoping this will help families have better visibility when crossing the roads whilst coming to school. I have contacted Winchester City Council regarding the new enforceable road markings, and these are still going ahead this year. 

 

The lunchtime clubs for Year 2 are going really well and I have a plea from lego club. If anyone has any Lego  ‘base boards’ to build on, and would like to donate them to our club, we would be very grateful. Next week we are going with the children’s idea of ‘this could be in Star Wars’- I can’t wait to see what they’ll create!

 

Year 1’s magical dragon monsters are making their way to our entrance display and they are beautiful. Using the skills of pinching and pulling, their mythical creatures look amazing! 

 

Oliver in Year R won our book raffle this week for 3 home reads. It is becoming a favourite part of our Celebration Assembly on Fridays. 
 

We explored the tradition of ‘Burns Night’ in assembly this week. After finding out that Robert Burns composed Auld Lang Syne, we had the biggest singalong in our rows. It was great fun! 

 

Everyone should have received an email about the NEU industrial action this week. Please check your inboxes, if you haven’t read it. 
 

Our PTA will be outside this week with their card reader for any payments for the disco on Friday. Please remember to send disco clothes in a bag on Friday 3rd February. Pick up will be from your child’s classroom door. 
 

We hope you all have a lovely weekend

 

 Best wishes
