As you will have seen the fencing around the building site has been recently changed and you will now be able to see progress on the site yourselves. This fencing still ensures that the site is secure and that children have no access to the site. The builders have also managed to reduce the size in which they are working.

The team are working extremely hard to make the existing building watertight so that further work can begin inside. The concrete floors have been laid and you can now see how spacious the new classrooms are going to be.

The building of the new year 5 and 6 classrooms continues despite the recent wet weather. As you have seen, all the outside steels have been erected which gives you an idea of the new space that will be created. What you have not been able to see is that the initial brickwork have been laid. Internally the steels have been constructed for the floor to be laid and the window spaces have been created. I will update you further later on this term.   

Please read a letter we have received from NHS England regarding the recent increase in sickness in school.  This letter can be found under 'News and Events' and 'Letters Home'.

Miss Sexton has spoken to the NHS this morning who have confirmed this.  If any child becomes unwell in school, we will immediately make contact. Many thanks for your support.

We had another great assembly this afternoon to share the creative learning from Term 1 from Years 3-6.  We saw work about secret agents, creating a city in a box, weather, animals made from natural objects and views through windows.

There were a lot of impressive things to enjoy!  Thank you to all the family members who helped to make such successful pieces of work!

In assembly today, we enjoyed looking at then creative homework completed for term one.  We saw great models and posters based around the themes of ‘Land Ahoy’ and Healthy Eating. 

As always, thanks to all the parents, carers and family members who helped with all the lovely work.

On Tuesday 15th October we will be holding a year 4 parents meeting at 2.30pm in the Foxes Den to talk about the new multiplication testing that will be happening in June next year. Come and find out how you can support your child in this and complete some times tables with your child!

Is your child starting school in September 2020?  Come and have a look around the school to see the facilities that we have on offer.  Your tour will be taken by a senior member of staff who will be able to answer all of your questions about starting school.
