Weekly Update Friday 23rd February

Dear Parents and Carers

 

The Year 1 and 2 children had a super time partying with Crazy M today in their disco. We have some brilliant dancers who couldn't wait to strut their stuff. Thank you to the PTA members who helped to organise such a great event and help tonight, and to the teachers who stayed to boogie too. A lovely memory for everybody.

 

Year 2 had an amazing (abeit soggy) trip to the Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth this week, where they learned all about sailing life, Lord Nelson and his flagship 'HMS Victory'. They were full of facts on their return and couldn't wait to tell us all about it. I cannot wait to attend their learning outcome, which is one of the highlights of my year.

 

We have a lovely new sweetshop roleplay area in our playground, thanks to Mrs Ely and Miss Ely. If anyone has any role play items they no longer use, and would like to donate them to the school, they would be gratefully received. We also take;

Dressing up clothes

Lego

Toy cars

Toy dolls and dolls clothes

Outdoor games

 

Our PTA met in The Crown on Tuesday night as a social event for new volunteers. Anybody can volunteer, and it can be for lots of events, or just one. It is a great way to get to meet other parents and lots of parents have made friendships with other parents from the meetings. We have lots of lovely events on the horizon, so please pop along-if you missed Tuesday, keep a look out for the next social event.

 

We have our annual sponsored event on the 13th March and this year we are having a 'Bounce and Boogie'. Children are sponsored to bounce for a whole song on the disco bouncy castle, with dancing organised per class for the whole session too. Our fundraising this year will go towards replacing art, PE and play equipment which now needs replacing. Please help support this worthwhile cause, so that we can keep delivering our exciting curriculum and experiences to the children attending our school. Sponsor forms have come home with everybody this week.

 

Next week is our Spring Parent/Teacher meetings. please check your time and day, and arrive 5 minutes before your time, to look at your child's learning. there will be a creche in Rabbits class for all siblings. Entrance for all parents is through the main entrance door. Mrs Moth has returned from jury service this afternoon, and all Robin parents have been sent an email about rebooking their appointments for the original days next week.

 

Wishing you all a lovely weekend. Good luck to everybody supporting a team in the 6 nations. Some great rugby being played this year with new players coming through in all teams.

 

Best wishes

 

Mrs Riches
