Crew Knowles: Hook Day 1

8th January 2024Rebecca Knowles

We’ve had lots of crafty fun today to immerse our classrooms ready for our new expedition all about climate change and polar bears!

First we created cotton wool polar bears, second we decorated our windows with sparkly stars and third we created polar bears using a page from our new class text! We also created hand print polar bears which look great on display!

Year 4 Swimming reminders

4th January 2024Rebecca Knowles

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas holidays!

Just a reminder that Year 4 will start swimming first week back (WC 8th January)! Miss Knowles’ class will swim on Wednesdays and Mr Taylor’s class on Thursdays.

Please make sure you on time for school as we will be getting on the coach at 8.40am. If your child is not in school by that time, they will miss the swimming lesson.

Other reminders which can also be found on the letter:

  • The DMBC and Swimming Pool policy states that children must wear either a one-piece swimming costume, trunks or above the knee shorts. 
  • If your child uses an inhaler, they must take it to the lesson. Inhalers should be clearly labelled and be available at the poolside. Should any child fail to take their inhaler they will not be allowed to swim.
  • If your child has a verruca they are still permitted to swim.
  • Long hair, fringes must be tied back off the face with a plain band. Scrunchies, slides and headbands are not permitted.
  • Your child will not be permitted to swim if wearing nail varnish/temporary tattoos/henna tattoos/ear-rings.
  • All jewellery must be removed for swimming lessons.
  • Your child may wear goggles if they wish.

If you have any questions please see class teachers or email [email protected]

We can’t wait to get started!

Y3/4 Presentation of Learning

5th December 2023Rebecca Knowles

Don’t forget out Year 3/4 presentation of learning is on Thursday 7th December.

The children will share their learning and their website with you in a coffee afternoon style drop in between the times of 2pm – 3pm.

If you are attending, please arrive through the Ash Tree Road entrance at the hall. If your child has siblings in school, you will not be able to collect them until 3pm as normal so may want to arrive at the drop in a bit later.

Your child will only be in the hall if they have an adult present so if you are unable to attend but would like your child to share their learning with an adult of a friend, please arrange this with class teachers.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
