Every week the Bulletin newsletter is sent home from the School Office highlighting important forthcoming dates and events, along with a round-up by Mrs Kirby of the week gone by. Read below recent messages from the Head's desk.
From Mrs Ainsley
As always, Our World Book Day was a great success. We love to do it as it encourages such a passion for books and the children gain so much from the activities and discussions created at school by their teachers.
From Mrs Ainsley
Welcome back. I hope you had a happy and healthy half term.
From Mrs Ainsley
With the start of Chinese New Year this week, the children were engaged in a variety of activities linked to the celebration.
From Mrs Ainsley
This week it has been heartwarming to see your children engaged in role play based around being in a hospital, doctor’s surgery or baby clinic. We forget sometimes that these children are only 2, 3 and 4 years old and their kind, caring and empathic behaviour goes way beyond their years.
From Mrs Ainsley
We've had the pleasure of some very helpful firefighters in the Nursery this week. They have followed all our fire safety guidelines and looked after everybody very well. Their training has involved lots of learning of new vocabulary and finding out what their fellow firefighters jobs involve.
From Mrs Ainsley
This week there has been lots of activities and discussion around our topic of ‘Families’. The children have created paintings, drawings and collages of their various family members. These have been amazing!
From Mrs Ainsley
Our second week of settling in and it feels like we’ve never been away. The rain didn’t even stop play.
From Mrs Ainsley
We’re back, and we are super excited.
From Mrs Ainsley:
It has been a year, I think, which we can all look back on and see what we have achieved in all areas of our lives. Many would say it has been the hardest of times and what has been achieved? I like to look at the positives as much as possible and I see people who have overcome worries, adapted in ways we never thought possible and created safe, stimulating environments for their children.
From Mrs Ainsley
The beginning of our seasonal festivities was off to a great start this week with lots of fun and excitement: decorating the Christmas tree, the elves arriving in style, pyjama day and making gingerbread. I think the photos say it all:
We created our very own Cinderella ball today. We made regal crowns and learnt to dance the waltz.
Kindness was also a running theme through the week. We thought about the behaviour of the ugly sisters and the stepmother, how we may have felt and how important it is to always be kind with our words.
I would like to take the opportunity to remind you of some important dates for your diary:
Colour has been the focus in our classroom this week with Science playing a part in it. The children explored what would happen when vinegar with food colouring was dripped onto icing sugar. Look at the results!
The children have also been observing the changing colours of the season and then with a variety of media, creating beautiful pictures.
Nursery are also on their second week of P.E with Miss Hudson, the Junior Girls’ P.E teacher. They have all eagerly anticipated her arrival and have all thoroughly enjoyed their new adventure.
