Thursday 8th May- come to school wearing something, red, white and blue and bring £1
On Thursday 8th May we will be honouring VE Day by taking part in Dress for Victory, wearing red, white, and blue. We are asking children who choose to wear red, white and blue to donate £1 which will also raise funds for RBLI, their work supports veterans and their families, providing them with homes, jobs, and care. Many soldiers need help adjusting after a war, and RBLI continues to support people today.
Top Soil
If you have any spare top soil we are in need of some for the mud kitchen in Forest school. Please see Mrs Buggy or Mrs Pawson if you can help.

Forest School Wednesday
This half term
Oak class will have their forest school sessions
EVERY Wednesday. Children need to come to school in their PE kits, school shoes, navy joggers, white PE top and navy sweatshirt. This is a comfortable and practical base for us to add layers too. Children will need to bring one warm waterproof coat, a hat, scarf, waterproof gloves and if you have them welly/warm socks and waterproof trousers. Please can these come to school in a named bag. All children need a pair of wellies in school, if they don't please can they bring a pair to keep at school; if your child came home in their boots can they be returned in the morning, thank you. Children will come home in their forest school clothes.
Forest School Friday
To support our Golden Thread further, Helen will be running a morning forest school session for each class on a Friday morning based around understanding and embracing the wider world. The dates are on the website and are as follows:
Friday 2
nd May – Oak
Friday 9
th May – Palm
Friday 16
th May - Cedar
Children should come in comfy, warm clothes suitable for forest school. They will need long trousers, water proofs and wellies. Please send uniform in a bag for the afternoon session.
Reminders…
Parent help - Postcards
As part of Geography and helping the children understand place and locational knowledge could I ask that if any parents or relatives are visiting places of interest or travelling to other destinations on day trips or on holidays that they pick up a postcard. They can either send to school by post or send the postcard with their child on return to school. We can then, together as a class, find, locate and investigate locations around the world. I am sure they will be eager to learn about who has been where and this will enthuse and encourage them to further their skills in using world maps, atlases and globes.
