Friendship

We have been discussing friendship in class and why it is important to be kind to friends. Y1H have been busy creating portraits of their friends by using colourful chalks. We also made lovely friendship bands for our friends too!

Sun hats

8th September

Dear Parents,

Please can all parents ensure that each child has a  sun hat at school. It should be clearly marked with a name and can be purchased from the school uniform shop. If the uniform shop have run out of stock, then a suitable hat from home can be used until a school sun hat can be purchased.

We have been stressing the importance of wearing a sun hat and avoiding skin damage from the sun to the children. Any child without a hat will have to play in the shaded area which is not nearly as fun as running around the whole of the playground!

Many thanks for for support in this matter.

The KS1 team

Our first week back

In Y1H we have been busy getting to know each other and finding out about 'ourselves'. In our first Science lesson we studied the different parts of our human bodies. We then drew around our friends with chalk and then helped one another write labels for different body parts. 

Welcome back!

Dear Parents,

We hope that all of our students have had a fantastic summer and are feeling refreshed, ready for an exciting new academic year.

New staff

We would like to welcome a new addition to the teaching staff, Miss. Samantha Yell, who will be working in Year 1. She is excited by the challenges ahead and ready to bring her skills and knowledge to help develop the Primary team.

New Canteen

The canteen has been fully refurbished both in the kitchen and serving areas. The menu has been revamped by the new catering team - so the children will have plenty to choose from to keep them energised and well fed to meet the challenges of the school day!

Homework

This will begin as of Monday next week, as we will use this week to get the children settled into their new classrooms and routines.

Below is a table which outlines which day your child will require their PE/ swimming kit at school:

	Y1H	Y1Y	Y2J	Y2K
PE	Monday	Tuesday	Thursday	Friday
Swimming	Friday	Thursday	Monday	Wednesday

After school pick up - In Key stage 1, please remember that all children who are not attending ECAs and have not been picked up will wait at the steps in the front office area.

Well Done RM!!

Well what a fantastic year for RM!! Yesterday we all received a certificate for our special efforts in Reception this year. 

Wishing you all happy holidays and the very best in Year 1!!!!

Mrs. McDonald

Superhero party!!

The children are very excited about having a Superhero party and have been busy this week making masks and belts to wear on Friday. Please don't worry if you don't have a costume as we are making accessories for the children to wear over their regular clothes. 

Today we asked the children to make an invite for their favourite bear or toy to come to the party. Please can you let your child bring in their toy tomorrow (Thursday) so we can prepare some outfit for them too!!

Superhero belts!

Down in jungle where nobody goes...!!

Last week we looked at jungle animals. The children enjoyed singing and dancing to "Down in the jungle where nobody goes" and loved adding more animals and their sounds onto the song. If you would like to sing with your child please follow the link below.

In maths we have been studying position language, 'on' , 'in', 'next to', 'beside', 'under' and 'in-between', 'inside', 'outside' etc.

On Tuesday we celebrated Kao-Mun's birthday in style with lots of yummy food, sausages, dim-sum, jellies and a fantastic spiderman cake! Thank you to Kao-Mun's parents for a great party!
