  • School Lunches – Please book in School Lunches by midnight on Wednesday the week before on MCAS. Anyone who does not order by this deadline will have to provide their child with pack lunches, as the extra administrative work in booking and keeping track of late orders is very time consuming.
  • Nursery Lunches – We shall continue to use the link sent to you via email.
  • Car Park – Please ensure that you drive carefully in the Village Hall Car Park. The speed limit is 5 miles per hour. There have also been some reports of people not reversing into spaces when they park, please ensure that you do this so that it is safer pulling out forwards when you leave. It is everyone’s responsibility to keep our children and their families safe. Thank you for your support.

Christian Values

Each week we we focus on a different Christian Value. On Monday, we read the story ‘Gigantic’ about a little whale who shows bravery and courage to save his big brother. We have been looking out for children who have shown the values of Courage and Trust this week. Well done to all of those children who have been recognised.

Snap Shot of the Week

Wrens had a wonderful autumnal walk to Colwall Orchard this week to pick and press apples for juice. We picked  a red apple and a green apple each, worked very hard to chop them up in the scratter and used our strength to turn the wheel of the press. The juice was delicious! We are very grateful for our orchard volunteers who help to make our learning experiences so amazing.

In PE this week, Year 2 have been practicing different types of throws in Netball. They worked brilliantly in teams during the chest pass drills, which focused on various aspects of netball, including developing our passing and footwork!

Snap Shot of the Week

In RE this term, Year 4 have been exploring the baptism of Jesus. We started by reading a Bible extract detailing the event, then looked at pieces of artwork depicting the baptism, thinking about how God the Son, God the Father and God the Holy Spirit is represented in each one. This week, we created our own pieces of artwork showing what we have learnt so far.
