Dear Parents/Carers,

We have had some amazing projects in school so far this week on the theme of ‘Change and Adapt’ in celebration of British Science Week.  If your child has not yet brought in their project, please bring the project in as soon as it is complete so that they will have the opportunity to share with their class.

In addition to this we will share the children’s work in the following ways:

In Nursery, Reception and Year 1, on Friday 14^th March 2025, the teachers will have the projects available for you to come into the classes after school to see until approximately 3:30pm.

For Years 2, 3, 4 ,5 & 6, on Friday 14^th March 2025, the children who have completed projects will be in the hall to share and demonstrate their projects to parents. During this time, the overall winners will be judged. Parents are invited into school to see our Year 2 – Year 6 Science exhibition between 2pm and 2:45pm.

Please enter school via the old junior entrance that we used for parents’ evenings. Awards for the projects will not be awarded until assemblies in the following week.

We hope to see you at our Science exhibition.

Yours sincerely,

Mr L Chamberlain          Mrs E Gray

World Book Day - Thursday 6th March
Just a reminder that this Thursday is World Book Day and children can come into school dressed as their favourite character. Please do not go to any extra expense towards the clothes your child wears on this day, try to be as creative as possible with items you already have at home. Some of these may include Diary of a Wimpy Kid (own clothes), Winnie the Witch (witch outfit from Halloween), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (own clothes with a golden ticket), Matilda (school uniform) and many more can be found online.

World Book Day books
For those that order their child a book, these will be delivered to the children on Thursday. If you didn't order a book, your child will receive a £1 book voucher which they can spend in a book shop.

Competition reminder
Children are invited to create a book character using either a toilet roll tube or a kitchen roll tube. Please can competition entries be brought into school on Wednesday 5th March (tomorrow) so that we are able to share these with each other and judge the winners on World Book Day (Thursday). Thank you to those who have already brought their entries in. Please ensure your child’s name and class is either on the inside or somewhere discrete. 

Thanks all.
