Halloween Disco

Year 2 had a wonderful time at their Halloween disco. Here is a spooky picture of them beforehand.

 

 

We hope all the children have a restful half term- we can’t wait to see them when they are back for a jampacked, fun-filled Autumn 2!

Please note that PE days will stay the same in Autumn 2. There will be no outdoor learning in Autumn 2 so children will not need to bring a spare set of clothes.

Thanks for your continued support.

🌟🌟 Achievers of the Week 🌟🌟

Friday 18th October 2024 

This week has been a wonderful week for the children in Year 6. They have learnt many transferable skills and have taken part in lots of team building activities. They will have lots of wonderful things to tell you when they get home about their week but they may end up having an early night to catch up on any lost sleep. Some of the children that did not attend Arthog this week were brilliant helpers in Year 1 and 2- the teachers were grateful for all their hard work and help over the week.  

Year 1 had an exciting week this week- they made rain gauges in Science. They will be collecting the data to see how much rain falls over the next week.  

Year 5 enjoyed mono printing as part of our Hundertwasser unit and are looking forward to our upcoming trip to Shrewsbury art gallery and museum. Some lucky yr5’s also had an additional maths visitor who delivered an exciting workshop for our budding mathematicians.  

We hope you have a lovely weekend and we look forward to seeing you on Monday.

E-Safety Support- Whatsapp

Please see below some information regarding how to support your child online.

We are seeing an increasing number of children in Year 5 and Year 6 using WhatsApp.

WhatsApp has an age restriction of 13 years old (effective since 11.04.24). However, we know from research that children are using the app much younger.

 

Below is guidance from the NSPCC and Internet Matters to support you:

Although we have E-safety Top Tips in school and we educate children about being kind online, please remind your child about the importance of being respectful online. Here are some tips below to help you.

The children have made a great start to Year 2 and have settled in very well.

On Wednesday, we were unable to do our Nature Walk due to the rain. We will reorganise this soon with a new date.

Below is a picture of the Year 2 achievers and readers for this week.

 

 

Here are some pictures from European Day of Languages where we explored polish pottery and learnt how to say key phrases in Polish.

On Wednesday 25th September, Year 2 will be going on their Nature Walk in the afternoon. Please send your child to school in their normal clothes and bring a spare pair of shoes into school with them to change into.
