Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Welcome back to the new half term everyone!
We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school tomorrow (Monday 28th October). We hope that you all had a lovely holiday and are ready and raring to go for the new term ahead!
We have a quieter weak to get us started this term!
Year 6
From Monday and throughout the week, the Year 6 children will be sitting Mock SATs tests. Please make sure they are ontime to school having had a good breakfast and lots of sleep. Please speak to your child's class teacher after the tests if you wish to know how they got on do that you can further support them at home - every bit really does help!
Parents' Evening
Do not forget that on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week it is Parents' Evening after school. Teachers have been busy making appointments for everyone, so if, as yet, you do not have an appointment please contact your child's class teacher on Monday to make arrangements for a meeting. There will be a questionnaire for parents to complete whilst you are waiting. We do appreciate that this takes time but your feedback is invaluable to us as we continually strive to improve the educational experience we provide for the children and families we serve. Please do bring your children with you as they are eager to share their learning with you.
Swap Shop Launch
We are very excited to launch our Book Swap Shop on Wednesday. This is outside Peru and children are welcome to take a book in exchange for another book!
We also have something else exciting planned for the day on Wednesday - watch this space.
School Photographs
Following the letter that came out before the holidays, please remember that individual school photographs will be taken on Thursday 31st October. Children who have brothers and sisters in school will also have the family photos taken during the day. However, if you wish to your children photographed with children who do not attend the school there is the opportunity to have this done before school on Thursday. Please go the Key Stage 2 hall from 8am.
Brazil
Brazil are off bowling on Friday - this is in recognition for their outstanding attendance at the beginning of the term when they have 3 consecutive weeks of 100%. Can any other class match this?
Red and White Day
In order to show our support for the England Rugby Team, the children and staff are invited to come to school dressed in red and white on Friday. We have some exciting plans for the day!

Good luck to the Handball team who take part in a Borough Competition on Thursday.
