Updates from Mrs Norden

Tuesday 8th saw several of our Year 6 children out at different sporting tournaments.  They thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to take part, and you can read some pitch reports through the links below.  It has been fabulous to see a return to previous activities, but as a school we continue to be cautious as this half-term we are experiencing our most significant number of Covid cases. 

Next week will be very busy across the school as we join in with National Science week and other activities.  The theme for science week this year is 'growth', which we will be exploring through all STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects.  Our activities will include professionals in the fields talking to the children about their work and journey into the profession as well as answering their questions.

We will also be beginning our Jubilee activities, as we join the Queen's Green Canopy Project.  Our Woodland trust trees have arrived this week and each class/group (e.g. Owls, preschool) will be planting their trees from the pack to booster the ones we planted last year on the school field.  The children will then support with their cultivation and management going forward. 

Finally, Friday is Red Nose Day for Comic Relief, which we will be supporting through a non-uniform day.  Children can come dressed in anything red, red nose related or similar as long as it is appropriate for school and the weather conditions at the time.  We ask for a minimum donation of £1 towards comic relief.

Covid Update:

Our case numbers continue to be high this week, with most classes in the primary phase affected across the last 10 days.  We thank all our families for their support in taking proactive steps including vigilance in identifying possible symptoms.
