Dear Parents

Year 6 are off to Osmington Bay

Year 6 are excited and will be packing this weekend ready for our residential trip to Osmington Bay near Weymouth in Dorset next week. We’ll keep you updated on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook with our adventures, whenever the Wi-Fi allows!

I am on the trip and Mrs Troop, Deputy Head, will be available should you need to communicate with a Senior Leader.

Children’s Spy Books

A ParentMail was sent earlier today to make you aware of a recent issue affecting some popular children’s books by Andrew Cope, including the Spy Dogs, Spy Cats, and Spy Pups series.

Please make sure you get chance to read this and check any books you may have by this author.

Learning Walk

This week, we had a learning walk with our School Improvement Partner and a governor, visiting classes across the school. We were incredibly impressed by how deeply the children are developing their knowledge. They made thoughtful connections to previous learning and showed real understanding in their lessons.

You should feel very proud of how confidently your children can articulate their ideas and new insights across all year groups.

Gentle Play

Our new Reception children have settled in beautifully and are already showing a great enthusiasm for learning. They really are like little sponges!

We would appreciate your help in reminding them to play gently as a few are still learning how to use “kind hands and feet” and need a little extra reminding during playtimes.

Thank you to the PCSOs, Rose and Lauren who came into visit the Reception classes this week. They explained about their role as trusted adults and how they keep the children safe. The children had a lovely opportunity to try on a uniform and listened to their radio and saw the cameras. They connected with the children really well using some role play.

Have a lovely weekend
