Dear Parents / Carers,

Year 6 Residential

The children have had a super time at Standon Bowers this week.  They have all taken part in the activities, even the ones they were a bit or a lot worried about.  They have shown fantastic examples of teamwork, resilience, support, care and so much enthusiasm.

It’s been lovely to see them out of their usual environment and having so much fun.  Some children have conquered their fears of caves and dark spaces, heights and abseiling, some children have found that they can solve problems using group ideas rather than just their own.  There has been so much laughter, which is just so good to hear.  

And the night times – they have slept so well.  The staff can’t believe how well they have all slept – especially the boys.

Well done to the children for going out of their comfort zones and trying something new.

Thank you to Mrs Sharman, Ms Master and Mrs Shaw for organising and spending the time with the children and being away from your own families.  We all appreciate this dedication from you.

Thank you to the parents for helping to get everything ready for your children.  I hope you all had a lovely week and didn’t worry too much.

Happy New Year everyone,

It seems like the holiday break was so long ago now that we’re all back into the full swing of work and school.

Year 6

Next week, Year 6 will be visiting Standon Bowers for their outdoor education adventure week.  I’m sure they’ll have a wonderful time.  I know some children will feel a little anxious but once they’re there and taking part in the activities, they’ll be filled with excitement and feel so proud of themselves when they’ve achieved each task.

Remember to pack your bedtime Teddy and lots of warm socks!

Year 1 / Reception

The children have had a fun time learning to ride balance bikes and pedal bikes today.  We’ve been very lucky to gain this activity free of charge from Cyclist Training.  They provide instructors as well as all of the bikes and safety helmets. The children will be taking part in this extra activity every Friday.  

Chance to Shine – Cricket coach

Some of our children have been visited by the Chance to Shine coach regarding cricket.  This term, Years 2,3 5 and 6 will be taking part in extra cricket activities every Wednesday starting Wednesday 12th January.

Thank you for your continued support.

Take care and stay safe

Mrs Wilmer
