Hot, hot, hot!

Wow! What a lovely day we had in school today making the most of this glorious weather. I hope you all had a lovely weekend. The children in class 9 wrote their news this morning and lots of sentences included the word 'paddling pool!' We have been really enjoying our pirate theme. We have made hats, maps, been on treasure hunts and of course making the most of the Golden garden with our fabulous ship!

Well done to Daniel who is my star of the week! Daniel is an excellent reader, he has also been really getting involved in practical activities this last week, such as planting and looking after our surroundings. Well done Daniel keep it up!

I will be in touch about a home school task to keep you all busy during the half term period so keep an eye on the blog!

We sent a letter today asking children to bring water bottles in warm weather. Please can you ensure that your child's name is labelled on it. This will be a great help as we have been washing 90 cups 4 times a day up until now as children are wanting drinks understandably more often.

Please can each child bring a sun hat to school for break times to keep them cooler.

We have been applying suncream to children at regular intervals to keep your child safe in the sun, however if you could apply cream before school also that would be a great help to us (on especially hot days, like today!)

Thanks for everything, bye for now!

Weston here we come!

Just a little reminder for children to bring their trip money in for Weston Super Mare. It costs £12.50, the price includes the bus, entrance to the aquarium and an ice cream! It will be a fun day!

Kind regards,

Gardening and pirate time!

Hi all,

I hope you've all noticed the beautiful grounds surrounding our school. We have planted herbs and vegetables in our outdoor planters and brightened up our golden garden with some plants and shrubs. A BIG HUGE THANK YOU to Mrs Simmons- William and Martha's mum who kindly donated lots of the plants and shrubs you see around our grounds and in the lovely planters on the yard. We have had great fun making the gardens lots pretty and the children have learnt how to look after the environment and the schools surroundings.

We are starting our mini topic of 'Pirates' next week. We will put the ship to good use with lots of dressing up and role play. if you have any pirate costumes for us to borrow that would be greatly appreciated. If you and your child could research pirates on Internet or maybe pop to the local library to find out some information that would be useful. We will be making treasure maps and going on lots of treasure hunts in the next few weeks. Mrs Channon is developing a welsh pirate story sack with groups of children as well.

Keep reading and children are practising their months of the year each morning. Maybe you could ask them to tell you them! Also do they know their address? We have been working on this too.

Please remember PE kits on Tuesday for gymnastics.

bye for now,

Miss Jervis and Mrs Channon
