Hedgehogs celebrate Persian New Year

Hedgehogs were treated to a Persian New Year celebration by Daniel and Delan and their parents. We learned about the customs, tried traditional sweets and learned to say some Farsi words. Thank you to the Koushkani family for organising this. 

Snow closure 2nd March

We have taken the difficult decision to close the school tomorrow. These decisions are not taken lightly and we weigh up many and various complicated factors when we do so. Other local schools have also taken the decision to close. 

We are not just concerned about the snow, but also the ice and the unpredictable forecast for tomorrow afternoon. By letting you all know tonight I hope it will go some way in supporting any childcare arrangements you may have to make. 

We very much expect to be open as usual on Monday 5th March. Please stay warm and safe but also enjoy the snow too, it will not be with us long, only six more weeks till the cricket season! 

Yours sincerely,

Yvonne Jackson

Headteacher

School closure

To avoid the worst of the potentially dangerous conditions later today we have taken the decision to close the school early. This is in line with other local schools. Please collect your child at 1.15 from their classroom. They will have eaten their lunch as usual. WASPs will also be closed today. 

 

Considering all the information we have available this  action is being taken for the safety of children, parents, carers and staff. I would like to add that although we aim to avoid the temperature drop later this afternoon the conditions on the roads and in the car park remain dangerous even now, so please be especially cautious when you collect.

 

The forecast seems to be very different depending on which forecasting service you use but one thing that is for certain is that temperatures and the wind will continue to be very, very cold. We will monitor the situation closely and let you know of any changes to school opening tomorrow as soon as possible. If we are open please ensure the children are wrapped up warm even if they are in World Book Day costumes.

Little Red Riding Hood

The Hedgehogs have had fun making cakes for Grandma.  We began by writing a list of ingredients, talked about the method, then used a clock to see when they were ready.  They were delicious! 

Red Riding Hood Fun!

Robins have created their own giant characters from the story.  They have been role-playing the story and making cakes for Grandma too.
