Dear parents,
If you haven’t yet paid for your child’s visit to Birmingham (and the ThinkTank museum) on the new Weduc app, you will not yet have indicated their packed lunch choices for their trip (which is part of the payment process).
The kitchen staff need their orders by the end of this week at the latest please so they can place the food order and get it delivered in time for the following week’s visit.
Thank you!
Please can all year 3 and year 4 parents order your child’s school packed lunch on Weduc as soon as possible, as the kitchen staff need to order food ready for delivery in time for the class visit.
If you will be providing your child with a home packed lunch on their Birmingham ThinkTank visit day (Wednesday 15th March) please either indicate that on the Weduc app, or let the school office know.
Thank you!

We wish to thank Mr Tipton for all he has done and we hope to see him again soon.

Dear parents,
I am writing to inform you that with Mr Langford not being in school, my role entails me stepping-up to lead in his absence. Rest assured that I will continue to check-in with the class. Miss Gwilliam, Miss Cooper and Mrs Crane (Thursday and Friday) will remain in class as usual to keep continuity and consistency.
Many thanks for your understanding,
Tom L-H
In addition to their normal PE sessions/days, all children in years 2 and 3 will be having free cricket training sessions every Tuesday next half term (Summer 2 – June/July). What a great opportunity!
Please can the children wear their normal PE kit on Tuesdays.
Our PPS Year 3 Camp is next Thursday and Friday!
Please can children come to school in their adventure gear and with all of their kit. They will have a ‘normal’ school day on Thursday and then camp will begin.
At the end of the school day, on Thursday, children will go out to the school field and meet the camp leaders. They will make camp, enjoy activities, have tea, prep for bedtime and have a good night’s sleep (hopefully).
On Friday, we will have breakfast and then spend the day having fun with different activities, ending with the children returning home at normal time.
Mrs Crane, Miss Gwilliam and Miss Cooper will be with the children throughout the day (normal school hours). Myself and Mrs Andrew will be staying on-site overnight alongside a night watchperson who will be awake/up all night for any issues (they will wake me or Mrs Andrew if needed).
Children have been allocated to a tent based on who they would like to share with (we will let the children know this next week).
Any concerns or questions, please ask.
Please find the suggested kit list below:

We are holding an Egyptians day on Friday 18th February to end our topic of Ancient Egyptians. We will be creating some arts and crafts as well as learning about Egyptian games. If you would like your child to dress as an Ancient Egyptian, then that would be great: It doesn’t need to be an expensive costume!
Please could they bring in PE kit for the afternoon session.
Thank you in advance,
