Parent Update

This week:

· Odd socks day

· Súper Chefs

· Open evening

· FONS Film Night

· An update from Willow Class & Netball success

· Wellbeing and SEND support

Today we mark Odd Socks Day to symbolise that we are all different and that all children should be themselves, accepting of one another and celebrate difference.

Last week, we enjoyed the ‘Súper Chefs’ performance and learning together day.  Children were immersed in Spanish, song and cooking in a production which also explored gender stereotypes in the kitchen (photos on the next page).

This week, we are holding an Open Evening for Prospective Parents on Tuesday (please see attached poster and spread the word).  On Friday, it’s the FONS film night.

This term Willow Class have been enjoying learning about some important events. We looked at Diwali, the festival of light, and YR created their own colourful rangoli patterns.  To mark Remembrance Day we worked together to print some beautiful Poppy pictures.  Inspired by the fantastic production of Súper Chef we created fruit and vegetable self portraits and Year 1 wrote their own set of simple instructions on how to make Guacamole! On Children in Need day we learned how to draw Pudsey bear and teamed up to play a Pudsey phonics game.

Finally, congratulations to our netballers who finished in 2nd place in last week’s tournament!

Have a good week!  Mr Caswell
