No swimming...

Just to clarify that the Year 3 swim has been cancelled for the first week back after the Easter holidays (Thursday 24th April). They will be in school as normal.
Apologies for the wrong day on the letter, this was the Year 4 swim date which has also been cancelled as they will be at Fairthorne!

Easter Egg Colouring Competition

Easter Egg colouring competition.  All entries need to be with the school office by Wed 2^nd April, to allow sufficient time to judge the entries and to hide them in the shops!  Sorry for any confusion caused.

Buy a signed copy and meet the author tomorrow!

Good evening everyone!

An exciting day tomorrow - as it is part of our reading week, we have arranged for a children's author/illustrator to come in and inspire the children about creating stories! He will be giving an exciting presentation/workshop to each class in the morning and then setting activities for them in the afternoon! The author and illustrator is, Mike Brownlow, author of Ten Little Pirates and creator of the TV series Little Robots.

More information about Ten Little Pirates

Ten little pirates set out to sea in search of adventure. But what will the ten little pirates do when they meet a hurricane . . . and a giant squid . . . and a HUNGRY SHARK? This fun-filled rhyming story, which incorporates counting backwards from ten to one, is great to share with young children who are learning about numbers. The colourful, humorous illustrations feature objects to spot and count on every page. With a bouncy, rhythmic text and lots of great sound words, this piratical adventure is perfect for sharing again and again. Short-listed for the Nottingham Children’s Book Awards and the Sheffield Children’s Book Awards, 2014.

Other books that will be on sale:

Make It! Rocket,

Make It! Robot, both published by Scholastic

Bad Manners! Benjie,

Dog Did It! both published by Piccadilly Press.

Mike will be selling copies of his books at the end of the day which you can buy and get signed as a special gift for your child. They will cost £6.99, and it would be appreciated if you could bring the correct money. The children will have a great day experiencing first hand how to create a book, and it would be a lovely, inspiring momento to take away! Check out his website!

We hope to see you at the end of the day tomorrow!

Music lesson next week!

I have asked the children to bring in a tuned instrument for next week's lesson if they play an instrument or have a xylophone or glock at home? We are going to be creating our own introductions to a piece of music and need plenty of tuned instruments.
If your child does bring something in then please ensure it is named and kept safe until the music lesson which is last in the day (2.30pm).

Many thanks,     Mrs Mewett

Home Learning - Time Challenge (17.3.14.)

I have asked the children to have a go at putting things in order of how long they last/ how long they take.
They will need to cut out the sentences and arrange them in order. There is not necessarily a "right" answer, but the activity should promote some interesting thinking and discussion.
Have a great weekend,
