Headteacher: Mrs L Nicholls
Dear Parents and Carers,
Ready, Steady, Cook
We had a wonderful day in school on Monday with a KS2 ready steady cook competition in the morning and fitness and smoothie sessions for Reception and KS1 in the afternoon. The children learned about balanced meals and including all of the food groups to ensure that our bodies have enough vitamins and minerals to function properly. The teams created two delicious dishes tandoori Salmon, pilau rice and sag aloo and Parmesan chicken, spring onion pasta and chunky saucy salad. They meals were quick and easy to cook and absolutely fantastic. If you would like to create these dishes at home we will post the recipes for you to try out.
Sporting Success
It has been a wonderful week for sporting events with our pupils taking part in an indoor athletics tournament and a basketball competition. Once again our pupils did us proud, and the teams came 3rd out of 18 schools for the athletics and runners up in the basketball competition. Well done to all involved and great teamwork guys!
Reception Admissions September 2019
If your child is looking to join our school in Reception 2019, it is vital that you complete your application completed by 15th January or it is likely you miss out. Last year we had over 190 applications for just 90 places. Even with the extra class, we have more expressions of interest than we have places – YOU MUST APPLY! Attending our Nursery will have no impact on your application. Many parents mistakenly believe that a place in the Nursery = a place in Reception… it doesn’t!
Christmas Concerts
Letters were sent home this week giving ticket details for all of the Christmas Concerts. Reception, year 1 & 2 parents must returned their preferences for morning or afternoon tickets by Wednesday 5th December, teachers will send tickets home on Thursday 6th December. All other year groups will have received 2 tickers for your child’s performance date.
