A Message from Ms Chaggar Please let the school know in good time if you are sending someone else to collect your child from school. The staff will not send a child home with an adult that has not been authorised by the parents/carers. This is in the interest of safeguarding your children. Thank you for your cooperation. 20 July 2018

Summer Fayre Thank you parents/carers for coming along to the Primary Summer Fayre and for your kind donations of food, drinks etc. It was great to see so many parents volunteering and running the stalls, face painting etc. It was also lovely to see some new families who will be joining us in September. Thank you also to the Music department and fabulous musicians who kept us all entertained. A huge thank you goes to Ms Palray in particular for organising the event and for all her time and hard work in getting the day organised! Amazing team work from everyone – well done! The great news is that we have managed to raise just over £2000 – this is fantastic and will go towards the purchase of equipment and resources throughout the next academic year for the school. Thank you so much for your support!

Last week, the Year 3 pupils had the exciting opportunity to participate in an art workshop with Ms Sutty from the secondary school. They used paint and black paper to create replicas of Damien Hurst’s Spin painting. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed using the end of their paintbrush to produce this incredible effect!

BRIDGES in the Primary Phase “We build too many walls and not enough bridges.� Isaac Newton BRIDGES are habits of mind or learning characteristics that develop a pupil's character and learning power and enable him/her to grow into a well-rounded individual and resilient learner. There are seven BRIDGES habits that we will be working on, which will rotate on a weekly cycle throughout the year. The BRIDGES habit of the week will always be introduced at the beginning of the week during the Monday assembly and reinforced throughout the week across the curriculum. Each class teacher will award a certificate to a pupil that they feel has demonstrated the BRIDGES focus for the week. Each week we will update you on the BRIDGES habit that will be introduced in the coming week and offer some top tips on how to reinforce the habit at home too. Please also refer to the Primary BRIDGES wheel below.
We hope that the children will continue to develop their BRIDGES characteristics during the summer break and will have plenty of opportunities to demonstrate them all.
