Dear Parents/Carers,

Thank you to St Francis for the incredible assembly. They have worked very hard.

 Our awards for St Mary’s Way go to: Naomi in St Martin’s Class and Yayra in St Francis Class.    

  Religious Education Topic: Hinduism

We are drawing our topic on rules to a close and next week we will be learning about another faith, Hinduism and in particular ‘Puja.’  If you or anyone would like to come in and talk to the children about this topic from your own experience, please approach us.

English: The Storm Whale by Benji Davies

This week the children have written wonderful poems about a Lighthouse.  They have learnt about Stanzas and how poems do not need to rhyme or be written in sentences that make sense.

We will begin our learning on a new book entitled ‘The Storm Whale’ continuing on our sea theme.

  • Please remember to send your child in with a blue cap even if it is not a school one as it is too hot to be outside without one. 

  • Also ensure that your child comes into school with a water bottle daily
