• Chicken Pox

  Fri 14 Feb 2020

  We now have more than 12 children away from school with chicken pox. Chicken pox is a contagious virus and  the incubation period before the spots appear is two weeks. Children are able to come back to school if all scabs are crusted over and they feel well. Please follow the link below for more information on chicken pox and a list of chicken pox DOs and DON'Ts.

• Keeping Children Safe

  Thu 13 Feb 2020

  Today we introduced a new safety procedure into school called 'Lockdown'. We explained to the children beforehand what this meant and talked about situations when we may need to hit our 'Lockdown' alarm. We then practised the procedure with the children and they were fantastic!

   

  We have sent a letter home explaining what a lockdown situation would mean for our children and we would like to reassure you that we continue to do our very best to keep your child safe at all times.

• Our Wishing Assembly

  Fri 20 Dec 2019

  Our term ended with our special ‘Wishing Assembly’ on Friday afternoon. Each class thought carefully about their wishes for the world. As we lit a candle for each wishing star, the light shone a bit brighter. If you would like to come and read our wishes for 2020 they will be up by Mrs Riches’ office. 
   

  We’ll see you all in 2020!

• Panto Day

  Fri 20 Dec 2019

  We all went to Fareham to see ‘Beauty and the Beast’ on Thursday. It was great fun and everyone had a singalong with the songs. Most of the adults said they had the most fun watching our children laughing and enjoying themselves. Thank you to our PTA and everyone who have helped to raise money over the last year which funded this special experience for our children.

• Grandparents Service at St Peter’s Church

  Fri 20 Dec 2019
  On Monday afternoon we held our Special Grandparents’ service at St Peter’s Church. This year, our furthest away winners were Scotland and France!  Reverend Hunt said a few words and all the children learned something new about crackers! It really was a beautiful service, with the children singing songs from their performances and building up a nativity scene. Thank you to everyone who travelled to be with us for this special service.
