Attendance Matters

This week, we only had one class who were above the 96% target we have for each class which means our average for the week was 92% which is falling way below where we want it to be.  Please ensure you send your children in each day, even if they have a snuffle, a headache, a tummy ache as more often than not, they are absolutely fine when they get busy with their learning.  Well done to our winning class this week Year 1 who achieved 97.4% attendance and won an extra playtime for being above 96% and a movie treat!  

Remember, we give every child who has been in school every day and on time a raffle ticket entry to our £50 prize draw - you have to be in it to win it!

We have mapped out our key events for the summer term which can be found here.  Further details about each event will be shared nearer the time - some events are weather permitting so keep your fingers crossed that we have a decent summer!  We will share the dates of our Sports Days early next week.

A New Orchard

We have enhanced our sensory garden and outdoor provision with a beautiful apple orchard.  Biffa donated 14 apple trees as part of their Biffa Bees Campaign to boost diversity.  Volunteers from school and Biffa joined forces for the planting.

Toddler Group

Come and join us every Friday for a Toddler Group from 9-10am. It will be for 1-4 years old, there will be drinks and snacks available and it will be led by Mrs Flaherty and Mrs Peacock.  Please sign up for the group by contacting our main office on 01274 611512 - we can't wait to meet you all!

And finally...

We hope you have a super weekend and that the wild weather gives us a little break for now.  Mrs Wierzbianski is having some garden furniture delivered so would quite like to be able to sit out on it with a glass of something cold, Mrs Shirra is attending a 1st birthday party, Ms Pascoe is spending time with family and Mr Watson is going to see a production of 42 balloons. Whatever you decide to do, we hope you enjoy it!  We will see you bright and early on Monday where our doors will open at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am.
