Lazy days in the sun........



It's time to enjoy a good summer holiday read!!!!!

We had an assembly this week to launch The Libraries Summer Reading Challenge - Mythical Maze!

The challenge is on - read 6 books over the holidays (finishes the weekend we return to school), collect your stickers each time you've read a book and a certificate and medal await you at school in your new class (wherever that may be!!!!)

Information has been sent home about this event, it was hugely successful last year, inspiring children to read!

You will also find a new DASP reading booklet with top tips for how to encourage the enjoyment of reading.

So, lay back in your hammock and get lost in a book (or 6) this holiday!

Happy reading,

Mrs. Johnson

Have a great holiday everyone!

I wish you all the best for the summer holidays. I look forward to seeing everyone on the first day of the new school year which is Thursday, 4th September 2014. The school will be having three training days on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mr Farrington

Open afternoon

A reminder that on Monday 14th July, the school is open from 2pm onwards. Please join your child in their class, look at work, join in with an activity. Then from 3.30pm you can visit your child's new teacher in their (new) classroom. Teachers will be happy to see you, please come along and introduce yourselves, likewise feel free to ask any questions you have.

Our school grounds...

Following some concerns about children's safety after school within our school site can I remind everyone that; all children are welcome to use our school grounds whilst under the supervision of their parent, if any school equipment is found to be outside can we ask all to be attentive and bring this back into our building? Finally, children have been reminded of our expectations of suitable behaviour displayed.
Many thanks for your cooperation in this matter.
