Weekly Update Friday 1st March

This week the projects in every year group have been in full flow. Year R have been learning about growing their own plants and what plants need to grow. Year 1 have been finding out what life was like for children in Victorian times and Year 2 have been discovering about Naval life following their historic dockyard visit. What a busy week it has been.

We also had our annual NSPCC assembly where we learned about keeping ourselves and our bodies safe. Next week our Year 2 children will take part in workshops with NSPCC staff, to explore this further. An email was sent home to all parents with links to further information. There are also links to this on the safety pages under 'children' on our website.

Next week we will be having special book activities for 'World Book Day' on Thursday. Each teacher has planned to celebrate books and a love of reading in their class and children can bring in their treasured tales to share too. (Please note this is not a dressing up day).

We are currently a lot lower on voluntary donations for school trips this year and this could impact further trips and activities as we have to make up the deficit amount. Payments can be made on our Arbor App under donations. This tab can also be used if parents would like to make donations to school to help buy resources too.

Lastly, it was lovely to see so many parents attending our mid-year Parents' Evening this week. If you were unable to book a slot, please make sure you arrange to meet with your child's teacher to discuss their progress in school.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend.

Best wishes
