We are having our first gardening day of the year on Saturday 17th March starting at 10 o’clock. FOBs will be serving refreshments during the day and we thank the parents involved in advance for giving up their time to do this. There are lots of jobs that need doing in the wildlife garden and around the site and, if the weather is fair, we are also hoping to finish painting the fences at the front of the school. If you are able to come along and spare a few hours, we would love to see you.

Changes to Clubs

In response to parents’ requests, we are starting a Homework Club next Monday for Key Stage 2 children; this will run instead of Science Club. At Homework Club, children will be able to complete any homework set by their class teacher, as well as read with an adult or carry out revision or research linked to what they have been doing in class.

We are currently monitoring attendance at all clubs and we will reduce the clubs that are provided, if we find that some are no longer viable.

Year 6 SATs Booster

Year 6 SATs Booster will run every Monday from 26^th February from 3:15 to 4:30 and we hope that all Year 6 children will be able to attend. A parent meeting will be arranged before Easter, to provide information on the SATs which take place in May.

World Book Day – Reminder

As in previous years, we are taking part in World Book Day next week on Thursday 1st March. Children can come to school dressed up as a book character of their choice and there will be a prize for each class, including Nursery, for the best costume. We can’t wait to see who or what the children dress up as!

We hope you have had a good half-term and we look forward to seeing all the children again on Monday 26th.
