RSE Survey
Our current federation policy for Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) has been in its current form for three years.  We would now like to consult parents and carers once again as we come to review it.  We would be very grateful if you could take a moment to complete this survey and return it to school by Friday 22^nd March.  You can access the survey by clicking on the link below:

Forest School Wednesday - Acorn Class
This half term Acorn will have their forest school sessions EVERY Wednesday. Children need to bring with them one waterproof coat, waterproof trousers, hat and gloves.  Please make sure these are named and your child knows what they have brought with them. 
Can all items be in a small bag separate to their lunch or reading bag.
 
Reminders…
 
Polite Reminder - Allergens in school – Important Information
We have members of our school community who have severe allergens to the following products:
 
Cashew nuts, peanuts, lentils, chickpeas and peas (including pea protein, pea flour and pea fibre). 
 
Please support us to keep our school community safe by ensuring these products do not come into school and are not included in your child’s packed lunch or snack.
 
In addition, please can we request that all grapes, blueberries, cherries, sausages, popcorn need to be cut up, or avoided as they pose a significant choking risk to young children.
 
Lost Property
We have a pair of glasses in school (black & pink frames) if you have lost a pair please come and see us.
