Value – Hope | Menu – Week 3
News
What a fabulous week the school has had. The children have settled well and adapting to the challenges of their Year groups. Year 4 launched their topic of the Egyptians and dressed as pharaohs and mummies. Year 2 children came dressed as Victorians and had a very strict lesson led by school master Mr Rylatt and School madam Miss Armstrong. Year 5 made headdresses and were entertained by the story teller, Professor McGinty’ who cast them back in time to the Greek Empire. We were very much a living museum this week.
Open the Book led their first assembly of the term with a re-enactment of David and Goliath. We welcome and enjoy the OTB team. Their dramatization of the Bible stories, help the children understand the meaning of the values in more depth.
Playground Trees
We are very fortunate to be surrounded by many trees on our grounds, particularly at the front of the school. Throughout the day the children know not to climb, swing or damage them. However at the start of the day and end of the day some children are climbing, swinging and sadly damaging the small trees. Please can I request that whilst children are under the supervision of parents, grandparents or child minders that they refrain the children from doing so. There is also the risk of personal injury which the school is not liable for.
Year Group Meetings
Thank you to all those parents who were able to attend the year group meetings this week and I hope you found them both informative and interesting. Next week it is the turn of Year 3 parents on Monday and Year 4 parents on Tuesday. Breakfast/after school club We are now full most mornings for breakfast club and full for the afterschool provision. We will not be able to guarantee places on an adhoc or morning of the day needed. It is therefore, important that booking and payments are made at the office on the preceding Thursday.
