We would like to offer families a chance to buy a digital photo of your child/ren dressed in their nativity costume, together with a video link of your child's nativity performance. This bundle is now available to purchase on ParentPay.
Christmas Jumper Day

Advent Service at All Saints Church
- Date: Tuesday 3rd December
The whole school will be walking to All Saints Church on Tuesday 3rd December for the Advent Service from 9.45am-10.15am. We will leave school at 9am and return by 11am.
We will require at least 6 volunteers per class to walk with the children. If you are able to help walk with us and join us for the service, please sign up below.
I am able to walk with the children
If you are unable to walk with the children but would like to attend the service, you are still very welcome to join us at the church.
The Zones of Regulation
In school, we use Zones of Regulation to teach the children skills which aim to improve levels of self-control and reduce impulsivity.
Today, children will come home with information about the Zones of Regulation we use in school, and how we help the children to identify a range of calming and alerting strategies that support them. This toolkit may also be useful for families to use at home.
Active Journey Week
- Dates: Monday 25th – Friday 29th November
During active journey week we encourage parents/carers and children to walk, cycle, scoot to school. If you live further away from school, you can park your car further away from school than usual so that part of the journey can be walked (Park & Stride).
Every day, we ask the children to log how they came to school and during this week we will be trying to increase the number of active journeys.
Next Friday, we will be awarding the class trophy to the class who have the most active journeys in the week. The WOW (Walk Once a Week) badges will also be given out on Friday. For Active Journey week, we will be giving out stickers to children who have done at least 3 active journeys to school during the week.
Please see the Walking Map below. We would like to encourage families to park the car outside the circle marked on the map and then walk the rest of the way to school.
Safety Day - PLEASE WEAR PE KIT
- Date: Tuesday 26th November
As part of our Active Journey week (formerly known as 'Walk to School Week') which takes place during the week of 25th November, we will be holding our annual Safety Day.
As part of the Safety Day, the children will be taking part in a range of activities which principally focus on safety around transport and roads. During the day, the children will all have a Scootability session which will teach them how to ride and use their scooters safely. (There is no need to send children's scooters into school. Each child will be provided with a scooter and the necessary safety equipment for their session).
Other sessions include:
- First Aid (provided by Dr McGurran)
- Bicycle Safety (provided by Saddle Safari)
- Road Safety (provided by teachers)
This year, Saddle Safari will again be offering a bicycle repair clinic at the front of school at the beginning of the day on 26th November. If you have a problem with a bike, you can bring it along to ask their advice!
Returning books

Children will have their last library session during the week commencing 2nd December. We will be collecting library books and bags during the week commencing 9th December.
