World Book Day - 3rd March 2022. We will celebrate World Book Day, with a dress up day.
We have enjoyed a positive time in school over the last couple of weeks with many opportunities for learning outside the classroom on school visits alongside activities held in school to develop and enhance the Children's learning.
It has also been very positive and exciting to take part once more in local sporting fixtures with other schools. The children are also looking forward to taking part in the Primary Schools music festival at G-Live nearer to Easter.
Thank you to those of you who attended the recent parent workshop. We explored how background knowledge and vocabulary impacts reading development and comprehension.
Happy New Year to you all! I hope you were able to enjoy some time with friends and family over Christmas and your plans were not too disrupted by covid isolation. It has been good to welcome everyone back to what feels like a more settled and normal start to the term. We have been able to return to lower and upper school assemblies as well as children eating together in the dining hall and year groups being able to play together at break and lunch times. Day visits for year groups have been planned to enhance learning in History and Geography. Year 3 are going to RHS Wisley on Thursday where they will study the tropical climate zone and plants growth.
As previously advertised, we will be holding a Comedy Night at the Electric Theatre on Thur 10 Feb. We could all do with a laugh right!!
