Parent Update
Welcome Back to the New Term!
I hope you all enjoyed some quality family time and relaxation over the half-term break.
This week, we launched our new value of Perseverance. We explored the meaning of perseverance and drew inspiration from nature, using the example of how an acorn transforms into a mighty oak tree. We learnt that the latest Mars Rover is named Perseverance, a name reflecting its ability to overcome the challenges of the Martian surface, serving as a perfect example of our new value!
March 1st marks the start of meteorological spring, St David’s Day and is also the first anniversary of our partnership with the Bath and Wells Trust Schools.
We are delighted in how quickly the Acorn Class outdoor area has been constructed and children have already been enjoying the benefits of learning outside adjacent to the classroom. More work is due to be completed at Easter and we are looking to develop the shelter adjacent to the old school building into an area suited to the older children in Oak Class.
Information on upcoming events this week and next
Cross Country Team
On Monday 3rd, our cross-country team will proudly wear their new team bibs, made possible by the fundraising efforts of Norton teacher Miss Brown last year.
Coffee Catch-Up
Join us Tuesday March 4th after school (with the option to drop in at 3.00pm or 4.00pm to coincide with end of day and the end of club). This is a great opportunity to connect with Mrs Jaggard, Mrs Brimble and myself, with a focus on Emotional Literacy Support and Wellbeing.
World Book Day
Thursday March 6th is World Book Day where children are invited to come to school dressed as a character from a book. Please remember to submit children’s entries for the book cover competition by Wednesday March 5th.
Have a great week - let’s make this term a wonderful one!
