We have been made aware of issues when attempting to find the Yr 6 trip to Shrewsbury on parent pay. This was due to an issue with our original upload attempt at the end of the half term, however this has now been resolved and the trip should now be available for you to access. Our apologies for any inconvenience.

Dear Parents and Carers

On Tuesday 20th February 2024, we are inviting Year 4 to take part in ‘Rainforest Day’ in school. This forms part of our Geography and Art curriculums and we are very excited and pleased to announce that this will be run by Dave and Sue Shaw, also known as ‘The Rainforest Couple.’ Dave and Sue are specialists in Primary School Rainforest workshops due to their lived experiences living in Costa Rica, Madagascar and Borneo to name a few places. Since returning to the UK with their daughters, Dave and Sue bring the magic of the rainforest into school with them and create a memorable day.

There will be some live rainforest creepy-crawlies coming along with them too to further add to the experience. This will be a chance for the children to see and hold in person some of the creatures that thrive in the rainforest. Children may be given the chance to hold these creatures if they wish. Please be reassured however, that no child will be asked to hold any insect if they do not wish to.

To enable this visit in school to go ahead, we will require a voluntary contribution of £6.00 and if there are not enough funds raised, then sadly the experience will not go ahead.

All permissions and payments have been made available via your ParentPay account.

As the Rainforest is known for its bright and vibrant colours, we are asking the children to dress up in bright clothing for the day, or as if they were from the Rainforest!

Thank you for your continuing support.

Mr M Mrs Parker Mrs Naylor Mrs Ollerenshaw

Due to a change of timings Wednesday, 5J will NOT need to be in school early now. All 3 classes will have their dome experience during the school day.

As a reminder, for tomorrow only, Year 5 will be Swimming. From next week onwards, Swimming will be on a Monday.

For the first week back only, Swimming will be on a Tuesday. For the remainder of the half term, it will be on a Monday.

Monday – Y5 Swimming

Tuesday – Y5 P.E.

5M’s new date for their Forest Afternoon will be Friday 1st March. This has been changed due to an earlier date clash.

Children in Yr 6 will be bringing home a letter today with information regarding our upcoming visit to Shrewsbury. This visit is built into our History curriculum work. Permission should be given via Parent Pay and we ask for a voluntary contribution to ensure the visit can go ahead.

If you have any questions regarding this trip, please contact your child’s class teacher. A copy of the letter is attached to this post.
