Hi everyone,

You may remember that a few weeks ago, the children brought home a small A5 booklet with a couple of questions in it for adults to answer about toys. There are a few of these that are missing. If you know where the booklet is, please can you send it back into school even if it’s not filled in? (Nobody’s judging!) Your child can then go and ask their questions to an adult in school.

Many thanks.

Morning all,

I was wondering if anyone had any of the following old (or old fashioned) toys at home that they wouldn’t mind their child bringing in to show the class? I’m after these in particular:

spinning top (metal, the sort with the ‘pumping’ handle!)

yo-yo (wooden)

ball and cup

traditional domino set

Jack in the Box

wooden pull-along toys

really old teddies or dolls (these would be handled only by me and your child and treated with the utmost care)

If you can help out, it’s tomorrow that we are talking about these. Wednesday would work too though. Many thanks.

Tomorrow, in PSHE, we are going to be talking about people who are special to us. If your child would like to bring a photo of someone, then they are very welcome. Please don’t feel like you have to scrabble around looking for a picture, though, as we will have plenty of discussion.

Hi everyone,

Now that the weather is turning cold and there are more rainy days and puddles, it would be really helpful if children can come to school wearing warm coats. I am also happy for wellies to come into school along with waterproofs, which we can help the children change in and out of so that they remain dry. A spare pair of socks is also a good idea, although we do have some in school.

Thanks for your support.

Hi everyone,

I totally forgot to notify parents that our PE for this week has changed! Outdoor PE is now on Wednesday. The Thursday PE session remains the same.

Don’t wash the PE kits! We went out for an extended daily mile this afternoon but the PE kits won’t be dirty. Children will need to come to school in PE kits this Wednesday.

Apologies for any confusion! Next week will run as normal.

The Year 1 children have been looking at examples of ‘old’ toys today (that is, toys I used to play with as a child!!). They will be bringing home a booklet with two questions that they have written so that they can find out more about the toys that parents and older relatives used to play with. It would be great if you could support your child with this and tell them all about games and toys that you used to enjoy. It would be lovely to see photos of these or even some of the actual toys if anyone is happy to allow their toy to come to school. Any toys that do come into school will be well looked after and returned the same day.
