Crossing The Road Safely

Tue 07 Jun 2022

Bobby came to our assembly today to tell the children about how he didn't cross the road safely this morning and nearly got run over! Lots of our children were excellent at helping Bobby to learn the 4 key things he had to know about crossing the road safely on his way to school:

STOP
LOOK
LISTEN
THINK

We also watched some of our road safety videos as a good reminder. The children enjoyed meeting Bobby, and I am sure they will see him in a few more assemblies!

School Bird Box Update

Fri 20 May 2022

Unfortunately, the laptop running the bird box software failed and we haven't been able to keep an eye on our chicks. However, today we have managed to find a replacement laptop and get the software up and running again. We are happy to report there are six chicks in the nest and they have grown considerably with lots of feathers adorning their little bodies. If you'd like to log on to see how much they have grown, visit: http://www.seenature.org.uk/schools/bishops-waltham-infant-school/

Parent Workshops

Mon 10 Jan 2022 Kate Charles

Next week we are holding online parent workshops for each year group.

Year 1 - 9.30am - Monday 17th January

Year 2 - 9.30 - Tuesday 18th January

Year R - 9.30 - Wednesday 19th January

Year R will present their annual phonics workshop which explains how we teach phonics in school and how you can support at home.

Year 1 and Year 2 will send you out a Google form giving you the opportunity to ask questions about any aspects of your child's learning. This then gives the teachers the opportunity to prepare answers and information in advance. They will also send you a Zoom link to join the session.

Do try to join us, even if you do not have any questions, as there is lots of useful information.
