Dear Parents and Carers,

this time last week 46 of our KS2 children were sat in the O2 Arena in London preparing to sing at the Young Voices Concert with 9,000 other children. One of the many highlights was singing ‘Proud’ with the artist Heather Small. We were excited to learn that this recording is to be used as the focus song for Children’s Mental Health Week 2023 with the charity ‘Place 2 Be’. Thank you to all of the families who supported this adventure.

ENERGY DRINKS

Whilst ‘energy’ drinks are fast becoming popular, most recently due to the PRIME drink made famous by KSI, they are not allowed in school. Children who buy energy drinks and bring them into school will be offered water as an alternative and the energy drink returned to them at the end of the school day.

YEAR 4 MULTIPLICATION TABLES CHECK

Mrs Horrex, Mrs Green and Mrs Groves would like to invite families of children in Y4 to a special workshop on Monday 6th February at 3.00pm. They will explain the test and how it works. They will also advise as to how you can support your child in preparation for this. It is a statutory requirement for children in Y4 as set by the Department For Education. They will be held in your child’s classroom.

BOOK SHARE

Just a gentle reminder that tomorrow is our ‘Book Share’ event in the school hall at the end of the school day. It really is a wonderful opportunity to change your books for free!

Have a lovely week.

Take care

Kim Huggett
