  • PE for KS2 - Change of day

    Published 03/03/23

    New PE Schedule for Children in Years 3, 4, 5, and 6

    There will be a change to the timetable for Physical Education (PE) lessons for children in Years 3, 4, 5, and 6 at our school. From next week onwards, children in Years 3, 4, and 5 will have their PE lessons on a Monday, while Year 6 pupils will have theirs on a Tuesday.

    To make the most of these lessons, we ask that all children come to school dressed in their PE kits on the relevant day. This means that no time is wasted getting changed, and more time can be spent on physical activity and learning new skills. We also remind parents that it is essential for their children to wear the correct PE kit, which can be found on the school website under 'uniform.' This includes Year 3 who are currently swimming on a  Monday afternoon. 

    Physical education is an important part of a child's education, and regular exercise has many benefits for their physical and mental well-being. It can help to improve their coordination, balance, and flexibility, as well as their confidence and self-esteem. We want all of our pupils to enjoy their PE lessons and get the most out of them, which is why wearing the correct kit is so important.

    We hope that this change to the PE schedule will be a positive one for everyone involved, and we look forward to seeing our pupils continue to develop their physical skills and grow in confidence.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

    Thank you for your continued support.

  • World Book Day

    Published 02/03/23

    Dear Parents and Children,

    I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible effort that you all made to dress up in such fantastic costumes for World Book Day. It was a truly inspiring sight to see so many children and parents celebrating the joy of reading together.

    World Book Day is an annual event celebrated in many countries around the world, with the aim of encouraging children to explore the pleasures of books and reading. As educators, we know that reading for pleasure is one of the most important things that children can do to develop their literacy skills, expand their knowledge, and build their imaginations. It is also one of the main factors in predicting future success; those who read frequently for pleasure are more likely to experience success. 

    In today's fast-paced world, with so many distractions and screens vying for our attention, it's more important than ever to encourage children to read for pleasure. Reading can help to develop empathy, boost cognitive skills, and improve vocabulary and comprehension.

    That's why events like World Book Day are so valuable. They help to inspire children to pick up a book and dive into a story, to explore new worlds and discover new ideas. And when children see their friends and peers getting excited about reading, it can help to create a positive culture of reading in the classroom and beyond.

    So once again, thank you to all the parents and children who took part in World Book Day. Your enthusiasm and creativity were truly inspiring, and we hope that the joy of reading will continue to flourish in our school community.

    Best regards,

    Mr Gunning
