A Wonderful Day at WILD Zoological Park Our Reception children had a fantastic day on their visit to Wild Zoological today! Despite the heat, they were an absolute credit to our school – curious, polite and full of enthusiasm from start to finish. A huge thank you to our amazing staff team for organising such a smooth and welltimed trip and to our family volunteers for your invaluable support – we truly couldn't do it without you. Seeing the children's smiles and excitement throughout the day was a perfect reminder of just how important these experiences are. We are so proud of our Reception superstars!

Final Chick Update from Year 2 Our Year 2 chick adventure has nearly come to a very special close and what a wonderful learning journey it has been! Over the past days, the children have loved watching the chicks grow, change and become more confident, deepening their understanding of life cycles, care and responsibility. It has been a joy to see the children show such kindness, curiosity and respect towards the chicks throughout the experience. We are delighted to share that one of our school families has very kindly offered to take the chicks from us and give them a loving new home, where they will be safely rehomed and well cared for. We are incredibly grateful for their generosity and support. Thank you to everyone who has followed along with our updates and helped make this such a memorable and meaningful experience for our Year 2 children.

Year 1 & 2 Arts and Crafts After School Club This week in Arts and Crafts Club, our children were inspired by The BFG by Roald Dahl! After watching clips from the film and exploring the story, we talked about dreams, wishes and the things that make us feel happy. Children then designed their very own Dream Jars! Inside each jar, they drew or wrote their happy dreams and things that mean the most to them. To finish, they each made a special wish and carefully "poured" in the ingredients to bring their dream jar to life. We loved seeing their creativity, imagination and thoughtful ideas shine through!

Let's Talk Magazine – Supporting Children's Safety and Wellbeing We're pleased to share Let's Talk Magazine from Protective Behaviours Training – a thoughtful and engaging publication designed to help adults have important conversations with children about feelings, safety and choice. The magazine offers practical ideas, child-friendly activities and reassuring messages that support children to feel safe, listened to and confident. It's a great resource for families and professionals alike. Together, by talking openly and positively, we can help children develop the skills they need to keep themselves safe.

Sun Safety Reminder As the weather becomes warmer, we would like to remind families of the steps we take at school to keep our children safe in the sun and how you can help. Please apply sun cream before school, especially on very warm days. Children may bring a labelled rollon sun cream for selfapplication. These are kept by class teachers and are not shared. Please send your child to school with a named water bottle every day. Encourage children to wear a sun hat or cap and appropriate clothing during warm weather. At school, children are encouraged to drink water regularly, use shaded areas sensibly and develop a good understanding of staying safe in the sun. Thank you for your continued support in keeping our children safe and healthy

Polite Reminder We've had several late arrivals this morning and would like to gently remind everyone of the importance of arriving at school on time. Being punctual helps children settle into the day calmly, take part in morning learning and start their day positively alongside their peers. A reminder that our school doors close at 8:55am each morning. Thank you for your continued support in ensuring children are in school on time each morning. We really appreciate your cooperation.
