Do you like to Sing/ Dance or Act?
We are really excited to announce that during the summer term we will be running a musical theatre after school club. This club will combine drama, singing and dancing. The club will be run by an amazing musical theatre teacher called Salli. Salli is a very experienced teacher and an accompolished performer. The cost of the club is £5 per week, £65 for the whole of the summer term. Payment can be made via parent pay. We have now added the option to pay for half term at a time too, however the commitment would be for the term, this is an option to split the payment. If you have any questions or queries please contact
Mrs Crozier.

Musician of the Week
Each week in school we have a musician of the week to promote a range of music from different genres, countries and time periods.
Here is this week's musician of the week
Rocksteady Music Lessons
Rocksteady lessons began last week and have been a huge success with the children! Each band member has begun their work learning their particular instruments, chosen their band name and the song they are going to be learning this half term with our band leader Dempsey. It has been amazing to see the children so enthusiastic during these sessions as they work towards mastering their instrument of choice and achieving their Trinity Music Qualifications.
There are still spaces available for those who would like to join up through the Rocksteady Music website - https://www.rocksteadymusicschool.com/ where you can find information regarding pricing and the benefits of the lessons.
Online Safety for Parents
Each week, we are aiming to provide you with information to help keep your children safe when online. This links to the Online Safety mind maps the children complete with their class teachers at the start of each half term.

Eesa in Year 2 for his real life recount based on World Book day. Eesa has recounted his events in order, used accurate sentence demarcation, used a range of conjunctions to join ideas and adjectives and similes to describe events and feelings. Well done Eesa
Lunchtime Arrangements
WE ARE A NUT FREE SCHOOL - Please do NOT send any items containing nuts into school with your child (this includes nutella spread, cereal bars with nuts etc)
Meals currently cost £2.80 daily or £14 weekly. Dinner money must be paid online via ParentPay BEFORE meals are taken. We will not be ordering meals unless credit is available on your childs account. (This doesn’t apply to children in reception, year 1 or year 2 as they are entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals UIFSM)
The school does not cook meals on site therefore, all dinners must be ordered during registration. If your child is late and misses registration you must provide a packed lunch for that day.
