Weekly Update-Friday 20th March
What a wonderful week of learning, creativity and collaboration we’ve had in school! The children have been busy, enthusiastic and full of curiosity—as always—and we are so proud of everything they’ve achieved.
🌱 Year R – Incredible Mini Gardens!
Year R have been arriving with the most beautiful gardens this week, and we have all been amazed at just how inventive and creative they are. Each garden is completely unique—full of tiny details, imaginative touches and brilliant ideas. Well done, Year R! Your hard work and creativity really shine.
🍓 Year 1 – Fabulous Fruit Fiesta!
Year 1 have been enjoying a fruit‑tastic time with their exciting Fruit Fiesta project. They have been working interdependently to design special fruit dishes for the Year R children, combining teamwork with imagination. The class have absolutely loved discovering lots of different fruits—trying new flavours, sharing favourites, and learning how fruits grow. It has been such a joyful project.
🎩 Year 2 – Wonderful Writing About Nelson’s Hat
Year 2 have been getting creative with their writing, using Nelson’s hat as their inspiration. Their progress this year has been incredible—their vocabulary, sentence choices and confidence have all grown so much. We can’t wait for mums and dads to see the project outcome… you’re in for a wonderful surprise!
🐣 Looking Ahead to Next Week – Easter Fun!
🥚 PTA Easter Egg Hunt – Thursday 26th March
Our fantastic PTA will be hosting the ever‑popular Easter Egg Hunt next Thursday. This is always such a fun and exciting event—children love racing around to find all the hidden letters before meeting the Easter Bunny!
🌟 Remember to buy your tickets, as this event usually sells out.
There will also be a lovely tea and cake area for adults to enjoy, including Krispy Kreme doughnuts on sale!
🎨 ‘Decorate an Egg’ Competition – Friday
On Friday, we’ll be holding our much‑loved Decorate an Egg competition.
- Eggs must be 3D (no flat paper drawings please).
- They can be real eggs, papier‑mâché, or any other creative material.
- Judging will take place for each year group.
We also have:
🐣 Parent Category – for grown‑ups who want to get creative!
🐥 Pre‑School Category – if we have enough entries.
Every entry will receive an egg‑themed prize, with larger prizes for our winners. We can’t wait to see your “egg‑citing” creations!
🍬 PTA Big Easter Treats Sale – Friday After School
To finish the week, our PTA will be hosting their big Easter Treats Sale in the turning circle. Expect plenty of goodies, surprises and delicious treats to take home.
❓ PTA Quiz Night – This Evening
If you're coming along to the quiz tonight, we look forward to seeing you there!
💛 A Huge Thank You to Our PTA
There has been a lot of behind‑the‑scenes work over the past few weeks to prepare all of these wonderful events. We want to say an enormous thank you to our PTA for their incredible effort, dedication and creativity. All funds raised are going towards developing an exciting new sensory and imaginative play courtyard, and we’ll share more updates as quotes come in.
🌞 Enjoy the Sunshine This Weekend
We hope everyone enjoys the lovely sunshine over the weekend. Thank you for your continued support—you help make our school the warm, joyful and creative place it is.
