Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Both classes in Year 4 went on trips to Dr Choc's in Windsor to finish up the learning that they have been doing around the Power of Reading book, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl. this was an opportunity to learn more about chocolate production as well as creating their own products, linked to Year 4's prior learning about the Mayans, Mexico and creating adverts for chocolate bars.
As you can see, everyone enjoyed the trips and brought home their products to sample!

In our celebration assembly last week, pupils in Key Stage 1 and 2 spent some time celebrating the life of Queen Elizabeth II and held a two minute silence to remember her and her family. Reception pupils thought about who the Queen was and the whole school watched the video of the Queen and Paddington Bear.
Given the sad news, we have kept the display of holiday homework on the theme of the Jubilee up this week so our pupils can see this as a reminder of all she achieved.
Today, pupils were given the option of writing about the Queen and creating condolence messages which we will collate and send to Buckingham Palace. We also thought about how it is natural to be sad sometimes when we hear news.
On our return to school on Monday 5th September, pupils in Years 1 - 6 joined together in an assembly based on the poem "You" by Kristina Stephenson, which focussed on being unique and the dreams that we all have for the future.
One of our pupils, Aurora, was so inspired by this that she wrote her own poem at home which you can see here. Thank you to Aurora for sharing this with the school in our weekly celebration assembly on Friday, to inspire others just as she was inspired by what she heard in assembly!

In addition to these measures, the following will also apply on Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th July:
Should your child present with any symptoms or signs of heat exhaustion, the school will telephone you to arrange to collect them.

We will, however, give an option to parents and carers to collect their child from their classroom door from 3pm on Monday and Tuesday. All pupils must be collected by 3:20pm unless they are booked to attend Ted’s Club. Please note that this does not apply to pupils who have permission to walk home by themselves: they will be released at 3:20pm.
