Next week, our Year 3 and 4 children will be heading into the community to deliver some delicious brownies they will have baked with our cook Michael. These are to say thank you to special people in our community! Some of the places that the children will be delivering to are the local food bank, the charity shop and Little Bunnies playgroup.
We would love it if we could take further donations with us to support these places and charities further. We will be looking for donations such as:
Tinned, packet or boxed food for the food bank
Clothes or small unwanted items for charity shop
Young children’s toy, books or £1 donation to help fund the Little Bunnies playgroup
The children will be taking the items brought in and need to carry them so please nothing too big or heavy.
As always, we appreciate your support with helping our local community further!
The children in History Club continued their learning on D Day tonight by adding to the 80th Anniversary commemoration display in the KS1 corridor. Children from all year groups have contributed work to the display and I am blown away by both the quality of the work, and the empathy shown in the content of the writing. We discussed the Normandy landings on the morning of the 6th of June 1944, and the children learned about the reasons behind the previous evening’s mass drop of paratroopers behind Hitler’s Atlantic Wall and how these brave men fought to capture and hold roads and bridges to secure a safer passage for those who were to follow in the beach attacks the next day.
There are still a few finishing touches to be added and photographs of the completed display will be blogged as soon as it is completed but here is a sneak preview…
At the end of this week we will be doing our spelling touchdown, if you could encourage children to practise these, that would be great! Feel free to send picture of them working hard for some HOWL points too.. Thank you, the Year 3 team!
Please can we remind all parents/carers to ensure that the children bring their XP outdoors kit with them tomorrow. This includes a change of clothes and footwear suitable for spending time outdoors (weather appropriate) as well as sunscreen / hat and a water bottle during particularly warmer weather.
WOW what a fun morning year 3 have had! Mr Kershaw taught the children how to make brownies in oranges and cook them on the fire. The children practised fire safety and cooking all in the same lesson.

Jake, in Year 6, approached the school and his crew with wanting raise awareness around MND.
