Dear parents

How lovely it has been this week to see the sun shining and to feel the spring warmth coming through.

The children had a fabulous World Book Day and enjoyed a fabulous parade that was made complete by the arrival of an enormous bear; the nursery children were so brave! A huge thank you to all of you for supporting the day and for spending time creating some terrific outfits. Thank you also to our new Librarian, Miss Bökkerink , for organising everything so well.

Communications have improved with the launch of the Parent Dojo, and the feedback has been very positive. However, please ensure that any absences are sent directly to the school office and not posted on Dojo.

Please can you spend this weekend helping your child to learn their lines for the Shakespeare Festival that is taking place next week. It is such a brilliant opportunity for the children to be on stage, in costume and enjoying the limelight for a moment. We do understand that some children find it easier than others to perform and we will be very proud if they just get onto the stage. The more they are exposed to these opportunities the more confident they become.

The Courtyard Café will be open every day from  8 am-9 am and will be serving beverages and light snacks. If you would like to book it out for year group coffee mornings, then do let Mrs Clark  know.

We have an Open Day on Wednesday next week and you are welcome to invite friends or family members who have not seen the school, or any work colleagues to attend. The event will start in the Café. 

Chef Allegra is running a competition for the children to ‘create your dream packed lunch’. The children have all been given entry forms, however, if you need another form Mrs Clark has some in the office.  The deadline is 24 March 2025.

I do hope that you have a happy weekend and that the sun continues to shine.

Best wishes

Mrs Wyatt
