Dear families

Our first set of Opal (Opportunities for Play and Learning) equipment went out onto the field yesterday. It was Y6 field day, the building site, mud pit and sand pit were a great success. The children were engaged and genuinely upset when lunchtime ended.

On our new building site some of the Y6 boys role played for over 40 minutes!

In the sandpit the children built sandcastles and some of the girls built a volcano.

More photos will follow as more areas develop

In Y2 phonics, some children have been working really hard to read and write multi-syllabic words such as increase, enjoyment, lemonade and bumblebee.

Good afternoon families,

Please join us in congratulating our Y2 pride and value award winning pupils this week.

In Y2 this week we have been looking at monoprinting pictures of different patterns we found around school. We rolled ink onto our page and drew around an outline of a picture to print it in our ink. It was so much fun 🙂

Dear families

We’ve got some exciting news to share with you.

Parentkind – a charity that supports school PTAs - have teamed up with Asda, who is making millions of pounds available to donate to primary schools across the UK through their ‘Cashpot for Schools’ initiative. To support our school, all you have to do is opt-in through the Asda Rewards app, shop and scan in store or shop online at Asda.com.

Between 2^nd September and 30^th November 2024 – every time you shop with Asda using your Asda Rewards app, Asda will donate 0.5% of the value of your shop to your chosen Primary school. Also, every time somebody opts-in to support our Primary school, Asda will give an additional £1 to the school Cashpot. Plus, it doesn’t stop there – Asda are also giving £50 to every school to get them started.

The supermarket has joined forces with Joe Wicks to support the initiative – look out for the TV advert, radio ads and social media coverage!

It’s as easy as 1,2,3

1. Download the Asda Rewards app, register and opt-in to Cashpot for Schools (make sure you have the latest version of the app installed)

2. Choose our Primary School – either searching by name or postcode

3. Shop instore across Asda and George, or online at Asda.com and start filling your Cashpot as you shop

Asda does the rest, all money raised will be donated to schools to spend on the things they need the most. 

Remember, anyone can sign up – so start spreading the news and raising funds for our school.

This initiative is on top of the existing Asda Rewards benefits you get as a shopper – so you won’t lose out on any of your own earnings or Cashpot, so everyone is a winner!

In the last couple of days our parents have already raised £63, thank you to all our families who have helped so far!
