Sharing Our Work and Learning!

The children in Amethyst class have been welcoming their relatives into their Writing Conference sessions this week to share their imaginative ideas and creative writing ideas.

Feedback from these sessions has been very positive and we have a few more sessions for EYFS parents arranged for next week. I know the children have thoroughly enjoyed showing off their skills!

We welcomed EYFS parents and carers into school on Wednesday morning to see phonics in 'action' and to work with their children in their daily learning about phonics. Feedback from both the sessions and the information meeting which followed was very positive and we will be repeating this opportunity for Year 1 parents soon – please look out for fliers about this.

Amber class have been busy using our grounds in their outdoor learning work this week. They have been creating Easter Gardens and they have come up with some imaginative designs!

We welcomed Nursery Parents and Carers to school to join their children for lunch on Wednesday. It was wonderful to see the children showing their relatives their lunchtime routine and everyone tucking into their meals together!

Thanks as always to Mrs Hayward for providing a wonderful menu and to Mrs Shannon, our Nursery Mid Day Assistant, who did a wonderful job organising everyone and clearing everything up.

This week's Praise Book children are:
Mrs Hayward's Class – Max Winter, Kiera Marshall, Spencer Wright and Callum Lambie
Miss Danha's Class – Magnus Smallwood
Mrs Richardson's and Mr Morrey's Class – Harry George Mrs Stoker's Class – David Cottrell
Mr Perry's Class – Lola Waldron Draba
Mrs Bird's Class – Lacey Eldridge Congratulations to you all!

Last Monday's Active Audlem before school was an energetic and fun way to start our day together! It was great to see children, parents, grandparents and staff participating and making an active start to the day on such a bright Spring morning – thank you to everyone who joined us for this.

Many thanks to those parents who attended our Parent Forum last Tuesday evening.
