‘It’s a victory of the great British nation as a whole.’
Winston Churchill
In the Month of May, we celebrate Mary. Mrs Summersall has made two lovely displays with our wonderful paintings of Mary and the beautful words the children have said about her. The other is about Jesus’ ascension which we have been learning about in RE. This displays spark discussions for the children and I love seeing them look at them and talk about what we have been learning.
Today we have celebrated that Pope Leo XIV was announced. We will continue to learn more about him over the next few weeks.

Show and Tell:
Thank you for the show and tells this week, they have been lovely. We have loved hearing about your trips celebrating achievemnts and seeing your wonderful crafts.
Please look below to see which day your child can share their show and tell news. We love to celebrate each child’s achievements in class. So we use show and tell as an opportunity to share things that they are proud of, or to share something that is important to them. Great show and tell examples are: sharing photos, bringing in certificates or medals, a souvenir from a trip out or something that they have made at home.
Important Reminders:
Polite reminder that we are a Nut free school. Please can you bring in healthy snacks please refer to the poster for suitable snacks, we always have fruit avalible too.
PE
Our PE days are Tuesday (outside) and Friday (inside). On these days, children can come to school in their PE uniform and will remain in this for the day. We kindly ask that velcro trainers (white, black or navy) are worn as this allows the children to be indepoendent when taking their shoes off and putting them back on. Polite reminder that for health and safety reasons, no jewellery is to be worn on PE days. We kindly ask that this is removed at home before coming into school.Art T-shirt
Please can you bring in an art T-shirt, if you haven’t already, these help us keep uniforms as clean as possible.Jumpers: please can you check that your child has brought the right jumper or PE jacket home, they can easily get mixed up when bags are being packed, there are a few missing in class, thank you.
