  Mrs Croft, our school photographer, took pictures of all the children on Monday - proofs will be sent out to parents after half term.

  Reverend Thorniley led our Harvest Festival Service on Tuesday morning. The children were very confident in performing their songs. Thank you to everyone for sending in your harvest-filled baskets. We have received so many lovely messages from our senior residents who really appreciated your gifts.

  The children enjoyed another Bible story expertly told by Reverend Richard and his Open the Book team on Wednesday morning.

  Parents/carers of Key Stage 2 children joined us for lunch on Wednesday for our Come Dine with Me. Thank you to everyone who came and to Class Catering for preparing and cooking another tasty lunch.

  Today Year 3 visited Birmingham Museum to further their knowledge of an Egyptian life. Thank you to Miss Beaver for organising the trip and to the parents who had volunteered to help today.

  We welcomed Shell Perris from iSingPOP into school today. Shell is leading a project which helps promote the spiritual, moral, cultural and social development of pupils and their place in the community. The children have started to learn a number of special songs, with actions, which support our school values as well as the children's learning in a range of subjects including Music, RE and Citizenship. On Wednesday next week, the children will be recorded so that we can create a school album with help from the iSingPOP team. The children will then be performing at two concerts on Thursday 25th October.

  Year 1 enjoyed a wonderful visit to Bishops Wood on Tuesday. The children learned about the changing seasons and explored what happens to plants and trees in the autumn.

   

  Mrs Thorp, our Home School Link, held a Homework HELP! workshop on Tuesday afternoon. Thank you to everyone who came - we hope you found it informative.

   

  Wednesday was Mental Health Awareness Day and we shared with children in assembly how important it is to keep 'safe and happy inside'. We set all children a task of trying to talk to someone new to them, someone they wouldn't usually talk to. 

   

  Also on Wednesday we welcomed parents/carers of Early Years and KS1 children to join us at our Come Dine with Me Lunch. We would like to thank Class Catering for preparing and cooking the delicious lunch which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

   

  Year 4 had an exciting trip to Pizza Express in Stratford on Wednesday. The children learned about foods from Europe and also developed their cooking skills - they all made a pizza to take home with them at the end of the day.

   

  Children from Year 5 became Viking Villagers on Wednesday during their visit to Compton Verney. They explored life as it would have been in a Viking village and took part in plenty of hands on activities.

   

  We welcomed KS2 parents into school on Friday afternoon to find out how we practise our mental maths - it was great to see so many of you.

   

  Year 2 are currently experiencing a fantastic day at Leicester Space Centre where they are exploring planets and carrying out scientific enquiry experiments. They are due back later today and we look to hearing all about their trip.
