Dear Parents and Carers,

Leopard Class brought the week to a spectacular close with their family assembly. The children captivated us with their impressive historical knowledge of the Great Fire of London, alongside a showcase of wonderful art and Design Technology projects. We were treated to amazing riddles and "Fairy Tale" moving pictures. To top it all off, the entire class performed beautifully on the glockenspiels. We are incredibly proud of the confidence and talent every child displayed! Thank you so much to all of the Leopard class staff for supporting the children in putting on such a great assembly and to all of our families who joined us this morning.

It has been an action-packed Science Week! You may have already spotted some of the exciting experiments and investigations shared on Google Classroom. Adding to the excitement, our new duckling family arrived and hatched on Tuesday! They have brought so much joy to the school; the children are fascinated by their progress, and they’ve been a wonderful boost for staff wellbeing, too. Today has been all about naming the chicks and the children have had some great ideas. Thank you so much Miss Saunders for organising such a fun and action-packed week.

We have another busy week ahead and hope that the weather improves for Reception’s Forest school days next week.

We also look forward to welcoming parents to the first of our parent’s evenings on Tuesday.

Have a great weekend.

Tanya Mooney
