Week 2 Complete and what a wonderful week it's been. Week 2 saw some of our amazing children embark upon their first major adventure and an overnight residential with school. All the staff, on both trips, are beyond proud of the courage, resilience and determination our children showed. They really have embraced every challenge and made the most amazing memories to treasure forever. The children who remained in school have also been equally amazing, and I know Miss Thompson has thoroughly enjoyed working with you all over the last few days. 

The summer term will include Sports Day and Stem week. Please keep an eye on Class Dojo, the school website and your emails for more information around these. 

Notices:

• We still have a number of our parents/carers who have not connected to our class dojo. This is a great resource for parents to see all the wonderful things our classes get up to whilst at school. Please check your emails and get in contact if you have any problems logging in. 
• School have launched their new 'IR' maths resource for the children to use at home. Please check your emails and class dojo for instructions and the link to access this wonderful resource. 
• All children need their PE kit on Tuesday and Thursday this week.
• All children need their library books on Wednesday with reading journals. Reading journals should be in school every day along with a water bottle.  
• We have a number of children coming to school in the incorrect uniform. Please can parent/carers ensure children are wearing the correct items. This information can be found on our website or by contacting the school office. 
• The weather is very unpredictable at the moment, so politely ask that children come prepared with hats, water bottles , coats and appropriate footwear.
