Gardening Day Sunday 17th March 2019

FOBS have organised another sociable day in the garden, 10am to 4pm. We would like to welcome families from the School and Nursery community to come along and help to make the Sensory Garden a success for its third year.

We will be adding compost / soil to the raised beds, planting new spreading / trailing plants, planting seeds in the veg plots, plus lots of general weeding, tidying and feeding of the fruit trees in the orchard. No specific experience required.

We provide tools and delicious refreshments during the day.  Please can you bring gardening gloves for yourself and your child / children if possible and wear suitable shoes.

Any donations of plants / seeds / children’s gloves gratefully received.

If you can come along for an hour or a few hours or even the day please leave your name at Reception.

Looking forward to see you.

Class 6 Update

English

This week the children wrote leaflets to persuade wounded soldiers that Florence House was the best convalescent home.  They used ideas from research and leaflets they explored to generate their persuasive language.

Maths

This week we started work on algebra, looking at 1 step and 2 step problems and algebraic rules.

History

We began work on the Home Front during WW1 and the children have started to design their own posters to persuade women to help in the war effort.

World Book Day

We had a great world book day and enjoyed working on our English work in the morning and making posters to promote our favourite books in the afternoon.  The costumes were amazing!

World Book Day Assembly

On World Book Day, the children really enjoyed telling each other about their favourite books!

Thursday 7th March, 2019

Social Media Use

We are aware that derogatory comments criticising our school are being posted on Facebook by current and ex parents. This is slander and if this persists we will have no choice but to seek legal advice from the Local Authority.

I am always happy and willing to speak to parents about any concerns and would request that you speak to me in person if you are unhappy about something regarding school.
