Dear Parents

Looking forward to seeing you at the disco this evening!

Best wishes for a lovely weekend, M Richardson. Head of School.

Year 3 learn about dinosaurs at The Natural History Museum...

As part of their History work, Year 3 visited The Natural History Museum where they

took part in a workshop observing and classifying different types of fossils, shells and

rocks. They excavated a dinosaur skull and were able to categorise it by measuring

its jaw and teeth. They very much enjoyed visiting the dinosaur section of the

museum! We want to thank all of the parents who accompanied the visit on the day.

Work of the

week… Every week a

fantastic piece of

children’s work is

showcased in the

school lobby

(next to the

office).

This week Naomi

from Year 2 has

been chosen for

her writing.

Naomi was inspired by Judith Kerr’s ’The Tiger

Who Came to Tea’ to write a

story about a tiger who came to

school. Her story is brilliant! Do

come and take a look at her

work. Well done Naomi!
