Year 1

In Year 1, we have been improving our writing by adding adjectives to make our writing more interesting and vivid. We have enjoyed describing Christmas characters and Christmas scenes.

Little Acorns

This week in Little Acorns we have been feeling festive! The children enjoyed using junk modelling materials to create their own postbox, ready for sending a letter to Father Christmas. We also made some presents with smaller boxes. We have also been ‘feeding reindeers. The children have been counting out the scoops of oats and comparing who had more.

Congratulations to the 19 winners of the Advent Calendars which were kindly donated by a local charity. We had 270 pupils across the school who had 100% attendance last week.

Well done to you all!

Message for parents and guardians about keeping your family well this winter from the Director of Public Health, Professor Matthew Ashton.

The flu is spreading earlier than usual this year. There are easy ways to help stop it spreading. Please remind your child to wash their hands often – especially before eating, after using the toilet, and after coughing and sneezing.

Encourage them to cover their nose and mouth when they cough or sneeze, and to wash their hands afterwards. If they don’t have a tissue, they can cough or sneeze into their elbow or sleeve, not their hands.

The flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself from the flu. If your child has not had their flu vaccine at school, you can take them to a drop-in flu clinic this Saturday morning, 13th December, at Kensington Clinic, 9.30am - 12.30pm for school-aged children. No booking is needed. The flu vaccine helps protect your child and family. It is safe and cannot give your child the flu. Children can come to school if they have a slight cough or common cold, (like a runny nose, sore throat or headache), as long as they are otherwise well.

Absence: It is your responsibility to phone the school office by 9am each day your child is absent. Please leave a voicemail if there is no answer.

TERM TIME HOLIDAYS WILL RESULT IN FINES.
