New School Year
Hello everyone and welcome back to a new school year. It has been lovely to see all the children back in school today, sharing their news happily and settling into new classes well. We are also very pleased to welcome our new Reception children in on their first day at school. We’ve had a really good day and I hope everyone has come home happy. Thank you all for making such an effort with uniform and getting here on time.
We will be using the blog to try to post some news and updates and also to put out parent communications and safety messages. Please look out for news here as well as the newsletter so we can signpost you to helpful information.
Please do let us know if you need help with anything. You will often see Mrs Mainwaring, Mrs Wishart or myself at the gates in the morning or afternoon and you can always phone school or visit the office, or send a message via your class teacher. We will always do our best to help.
Best wishes for a happy new school year!
Mrs Watson

Washing capsules
Did you know that washing capsules can be lethal to children? With their swirling multi-colours, they can look very appealing and some young children have bitten into them, thinking they are sweets. However, they are highly poisonous and can cause serious problems if the detergent is swallowed. Please keep them safely out of reach. Watch this short video to find out more.

Action for Happiness
Action for Happiness works with schools, communities and individuals to promote a happier world, by trying to encourage kindness and encouragement. Happiness is not about ignoring difficult feelings, but, if we learn to understand and express positively our feelings about the challenges we face in life, we can help each other to find the support we need to lead happier lives.
Why not try to follow the ‘kindness calendar’ through December? This could be a great challenge to follow during the run-up to Christmas and the New Year.

Do you want to apply for free school meals?
Did you know that if your child qualifies for free school meals, you can get help with other areas of school life too? e.g. Children on free school meals may be eligible for additional support with breakfast club, uniform, activities and visits. You may also find that you can get additional help during holiday periods with food and with activities. Because of this, it is worth applying for free school meals, even if your child already has a Universal free meal because they are in Reception or Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2). If you would like to find out more, please click on the link above.
You can also talk to Mrs Bailey in the School office, who will be happy to help you to make an application.

Children in Need
We enjoyed supporting Children in Need on Friday, dressing up to be ‘spotacular’. We also had fun joining in with the BBC Moodbuster challenges, learning a line-dance in Worship as a school and some classes joining the live events at lunchtime. If you want to try other moodbuster challenges, you can follow the link below to go to the BBC site. Well done everyone for raising £91.59 for Children in Need so far.

In Geography this half term, Year 6 have been learning about population growth and how this will affect the world’s development. This brief, but interesting report from the BBC summarises population growth and how we reached 8 billion this month. It also discusses how population is expected to grow in the future and where that growth is most likely to take place.
