Dear Parents/Carers,

 

Well done to all our awards winners this week and to our new Y6 leadership team, play buddies and house captains - we are so proud of you! We are equally impressed with our new EYFS children, they have settled in so well and thoroughly enjoyed their Teddy Bears' Picnic this afternoon!

 

MacMillan Coffee Morning - Friday 26th September

You will have seen from our socials that next Friday is our annual coffee morning. Come and say hello to our wonderful Y6 children who will be running the show, support a great cause and have a slice of cake for breakfast!

 

Open Evening for 26-27 new starters - Tuesday 30th September 4.00 - 5.30pm

Prospective parents are welcome to call in anytime to have a play and meet staff in the early years setting. This is an informal way of dropping in and seeing us. Parents are also encouraged to book onto one of our weekly Monday tours from 29th September. Please spread the word to friends and family!

 

Science Week - Space! - Monday 6th October onwards

Teachers are planning a space theme for science week which is almost upon us, including a visit from the Wonderdome for all children to explore. Watch this space for further information leading up to it! 

 

Parents' Evening  - Tuesday 14th and Wednesday 15th October

We will be holding our first parents' evening before half term. It will be an opportunity to check in with the teacher about initial progress and how well children have settled in. The book fair will accompany as always. We will inform you when booking is going live on ParentMail
