Y1/2 Round Up

The children have settled back into the routines of the school day well and are enjoying the new resources and learning zones in our relocated classroom.  

The Year 1 children are learning about seasonal change in Science and on our first few days we were able to harvest lots of pears, plums and apples that were on the trees outside the classroom.  They enjoyed observing some of the over ripe fruit hanging from the trees and the wealth of insects that attracted to the garden.

As part of our PSHE we talked about being a good friend so the children decided to share the fruit with the rest of the school, which I’m sure was greatly appreciated.

As always we are really encouraging the children to develop a love of reading and so we have created a lovely area in the classroom where they can read independently or share a book. We have also been discussing the very sad news of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in preparation for the funeral and all that the children will experience over the next few days.

This has also linked to our Y2 Geography topic of “Which are the four countries that make up the UK and their capital cities?”, as we look at the places our new King has visited over the last few days.  The Y1 Geography topic is “Can you describe where you live?” and the children have explored polydron and blocks to make some of our local landmarks.

We are looking forward to many more wow experiences and learning over the year.

Attendance

Attendance every day is vital for your child’s progress unless they are too unwell to learn. It is your responsibility to inform the academy if your child is going to be absent by 9am each day of their absence. You can contact the office on 01642 453374.

Congratulations to Mrs Harding’s class who had 99.1% attendance this week.

Lunch Menu

Our lunches are provided on a 3 week rota. Next week’s menu will be week 3. Please discuss this with your child to help them with their choices.

School Uniform and PE Days

Please make sure that all items of clothing, including coats and packed lunch bags are clearly labelled with children’s names, so it is easy to find their owners.

All children have been provided with a t-shirt and shorts in a bag for PE lessons but they need to have their own trainers/plimsols in school please. Plimsols will be provided if needed.

PE Days are:

EYFS – Mrs Wardle – Tuesday

Y1/2 -Mrs Barron – Monday

Y3/4 – Miss Norton – Wednesday

Y35/6 – Mrs Harding – Wednesday

Community School Clothing Scheme

Generic School Uniform

Welcome to our Free School Uniform Service. You will find a wide range of generic uniform here.

How the Service works:

• ALL parents and child care givers are able to use this service regardless of your financial situation. I think we can all say, the cost of school uniforms is quite excessive and we have all suffered with uniform provision at some point of our child’s school life

• All uniform is preloved and donated. All our uniform is in the best of condition.
• You can take 3 of each item in each age group needed. 
• Postage and packing is FREE for school uniform orders. you will find all uniform has no shipping fee. Please note, if you combine uniform with non uniform items you will be charged postage for the general store items only. but there will be a postage charge.
