A reminder that today is your last chance to head to our Book Fair. Head to the Dance Studio after school to see what's available!

At this special time of year, our Year 6 children have embraced a meaningful tradition at Temple Meadow: writing heartfelt letters to serving soldiers. These letters are a way for our children to express their gratitude for the sacrifices made by those in service, especially during a season when so many of us enjoy time celebrating with our families. We are incredibly proud of the respect and thoughtfulness the whole Year 6 cohort has shown in their writing. Their words are a poignant reminder of the power of kindness and appreciation. We are delighted to share a few of these incredible letters with you, showcasing the depth of gratitude and empathy our children have demonstrated. We hope you find them as inspiring as we have, please do share your comments below and we will give our children your kind words.

This week, our Year 1 children had the wonderful opportunity to visit Old Hill Church as part of their Religious Education studies. The visit provided a valuable chance for them to explore and learn outside the classroom and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you to Mrs Barnham for organising this and to our family volunteers who generously gave their time to support the visit. Your involvement helps make these enriching activities possible, and we are so grateful for your support!

They were outstanding ambassadors for our school, showcasing respect, curiosity, and enthusiasm at every turn. A heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this trip possibleyour support and dedication are what make these memorable experiences happen!

A huge thank you to all the families who attended our Reading Workshop yesterday Tuesday afternoon. Miss Dale delivered an excellent session, providing invaluable advice on how to engage and support your children in reading for pleasure at home. We were also delighted to have Mrs.Cleal and a group of Reception children join the workshop to demonstrate just how much they enjoy engaging with books. It was truly heartwarming to see the children as part of this experience, bringing the joy of reading to life. Thank you to everyone who attended, we really value the partnership between home and schoolit plays a vital role in nurturing our children's love for learning.
