Overview for the year

This year we are fortunate to be able to have guitar tuition for the whole class. These lessons are on a Monday afternoon. If your child has a guitar it would be great if they could bring it to school on a Monday to use in the lesson. If not we do have guitars in school for the children to use. 

Children are to come to school in their PE kit on PE days and are to wear it for the day. Due to the weather children are encouraged to wear black leggins or jogging bottoms for PE with their red school jumper or cardigan during the cooler months.  Our PE day will be on a Wednesday this half term.

Year 5 will have 2 days of outdoor activities including  archery, wild cooking, problem solving and den building with Active Hope.

Year 4 will have 2 days of outdoor activities during Spring 2. Day 1 out at Bickerton navigating across the hill and visiting the local church followed by environmental games in the Gorse Woodland with Tim from Wilder Things on Day 2.
