Good evening,

Today, I have heard all about the wonderful trip to Home Farm. Little Owls and Tawny Owls had a brilliant day and came back full of the animals that they saw. They had a lovely day. Thank you to all the adults that volunteered and the staff for taking them.

It is fantastic to hear how well our swimmers are doing this year. They have all been listening really well and have been focusing on developing their confidence in the water. If your child is in KS2 and you think that they would benefit from extra swimming sessions, please let the office know.

This week we’d like to celebrate the following achievers:

  • Little Owls and Tawny Owls – Esmee for super listening on our farm trip and Arthur for showing a keen interest in and amazing knowledge of the natural world.
  • Kestrels – Katy for brilliant labelling of her plant in science and James for trying so hard in phonics and being a great member of the class.
  • Merlins – Sia for great focus on learning her times tables and Henri H. for his calm and positive attitude to learning.
  • Eagles – Oscar for a mature attitude to learning, Neve for working hard in all areas of the curriculum and Elliott for going above and beyond in his learning.

Our handwriting heroes are Kit, Tess, Harry and Jack. Well done to our reading raffle winners this week: Ralph, Katy, Dom, Charlie J, Emily, Etienne and Elliott.

We hope that you all have a lovely bank holiday weekend. We’ll see you on Tuesday.

Mrs L. Edgerton

Menu next week

We may have some adaptations to our menu next week as we need to use the contents of our freezer. The main menu will be as expected; it will be the sides that may change.

We will always have the option of a jacket potato.

Many thanks.
