Headteacher's Welcome Science Week has been so much fun this week! The children have done lots of finding out, experimenting and investigating many different aspects of Science. The children were stunned with a fabulous assembly on Wednesday delivered by 'Amazelab' followed by workshops in their classrooms where they were able to do their own Science experiments - and wear the goggles too! We have also had lots of parents visiting to talk to the children about the jobs they do using many different aspects of scientific knowledge. Thank you so much to those parents who were able to take time out of their week to talk to us about Science in the workplace - it is so inspiring for children to understand where the pathway in Science may lead in the future. Thanks to all of the teachers too for making this week so exciting and engaging for the children! |

Details of the two final Spring Term activities can be found below. We will also be serving refreshments at the Reception Spring Concert and the End of Term Easter Bonnet Parade.
Easter Egg Hunt. Please sign up on ParentPay next week if you'd like your child to take part in this year's eggciting hunt! The clues will lead classes to the warren where they'll find a small edible treat (the office is aware of those with dietary requirements and will be in touch to check).
Rainbow Raffle. A letter explaining how it works was sent out from school last week but you can also find it here. Donations gratefully received by the office up until Friday 22nd March. These will be pooled to make up our amazing rainbow hamper prizes!
If, for any reason, your book of raffle tickets didn't make it home - or if anyone would like to buy more - they are available from the office. Simply complete and hand in by Friday 22nd March. Mrs Hawkins will pick out the winners at the end of term Spring Bonnet Parade on Thursday 28th. Good luck!
*Sensory Garden - Call for Help Planting* If there are any keen gardeners out there or if you simply fancy giving us a hand, a few of us are hoping the weather is going to stay clear on the last weekend of term (23rd/24th) so we can get some planting done and the garden can start to grow. Let us know and we'll keep you posted on plans. We already have a number of plants ready to go in (as recommended by our expert Will) but would love it if anyone has, or would like to donate, a colourful bedding plant or two so we can make it as amazing a space as possible!
