Our school in the Summer sunshine

Windy weather!

Hello

Well, what a week! This week the children have been busy, busy, busy. They went on their first visit to the ICT suite in upper school with Mrs Lee and Mrs Barstow. Their behaviour was first class and they all worked really well on the computers and with their partners! They were full of news when they came back to the classroom, I think they will really enjoy their weekly trip to work on the computers.
A huge thank you to Mrs Crossling who came in with short notice on Friday and worked with the children. They explored different fruits and made healthy fruit kebabs. I hope you all found them in their book bags.
Even though the weather was very windy and chilly we have continued to spend a lot of time outside, a group of children really enjoyed building a structure and securing a waterproof roof, even with the wind fighting against us. They showed great team work and perseverance.
I must mention what a fab night Mr Gaunt and I had on Saturday night at the Raise 1K night arranged by the parents. A lot of money was raised and your generosity was amazing. It was great to see you all having a good time. Hopefully we will be able to give the outdoor reception area a real boost. So many thanks from us all.
I must also mention how lovely lunch times are. All the children have settled into the lunch time routine and their behaviour is exemplary. The Reception staff eat with the children and we are all amazed at how well they are getting on. It was so calm on Friday in the large hall I went and got Ms Carpenter to come and see first hand how lovely it is.
I hope you all found the reading talk/leaflet helpful with Mrs Collins. This week the children will bring home their first reading book. If you have any queries, please come and talk to one of the staff.
Finally, a reminder that Stay & Play is on every Thursday from 3pm till 3.30pm. Please note younger siblings are unfortunately not allowed to attend.
Many thanks for your continued support.
Mrs Gaunt & Mrs Collins
