E-Safety Top Tips – Video Streaming Apps and Sites

Are you aware of how much TV your child is watching and what they are watching?

Now that it gets darker outside earlier, everyone is spending more time indoors and watching a bit more TV.  However it is vital that you monitor what your child is watching, especially when they have access to streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime.  Did you know that you can restrict the amount of time your child spends on Netflix and the programmes they have access to.

For more information please see the parent guides below.

Christmas countdown in nursery

I know it’s such a busy time of year so I just wanted to send a reminder that will hopefully help you in the last few days of term.

Firstly, in nursery we are having something Christmassy every day next week and as of tomorrow Friday 10th.  Please feel free to send them in Christmas jumpers, sparkly tops, Santa head bands and all the usual fun clothes that we wear this time of year.  Don’t worry if you haven’t got any we will be making party hats and so on in nursery anyway.

Our main Christmas events are …

Friday 10th December a visit from Mr and Mrs Claus.  Last day to send in Christmas cards

Monday 13th December our postponed Winter wonderland – please meet us in the carpark. If your child does not attend on Monday’s they are still welcome to join in with you for the duration of the sing-a-long

Tuesday 14th December Nursery Christmas dinner day

Thursday 16th December Party day

Friday 17th December Last day and a few extra party activities and treats

Happy Christmas!

Year 1 Crafty Fun!

We have been like busy Christmas elves in Year 1 today, making hand puppets as part of our D&T learning. First we had to sew the puppets together using a needle and thread. Then we started decorating the puppets with glue and felt. It has taken a lot of care and time so some of us will need to finish off tomorrow. Once our puppets are finished we will be able to take them home. We wonder if you can guess what animals our puppets are!

Year 3’s Winter Wonderland

Just a few reminders about our upcoming Winter Wonderland this week…

Please remember to wear warm clothes that you don’t mind getting muddy (and wet!). Please also ensure the children bring in a change of clothes for after the event, just as you would normally do for Forest School.

On the day, you can take photographs but please do not share them on social media unless it is of you own child only as we do not have consent for public photographs.

We hope you are looking forward to joining our festivities, as we know the children are really excited to welcome you into school! Don’t forget your singing voices!

See you soon! 🎅

Reception Winter Wonderland ⛄️

The weather was not so kind to us this morning, so a massive thank you for your patience and understanding with the quick change of plans. The children absolutely loved being able to spend some time with you making their decorations. We would love to see what they look like hanging up at home. We hope you enjoyed the children’s singing as they have worked so hard to learn all the words.
Here are just a few pictures. Further pictures will be sent out individually through Evidence Me.
Merry Christmas 🎄

Nursery winter wonderland

Unfortunately, a storm has been predicted for tomorrow’s nursery sing a long in the woods.  We have therefore, had to postpone until next Monday 13th December.  You are invited to attend at the same time as your original slot.  Fingers crossed for Christmassy weather.

Miss Broadhurst’s Class- Winter Wonderland Update

As you are aware, your Winter Wonderland experience is due to go ahead at 2pm this afternoon. We are keeping a close eye on the weather and are hopeful that we will be able to continue with this. Due to the stepped up measures that are in place for this class, we are unable to use the hall as a plan b. We will have to make a late call, weather dependent, and will be in touch later on today if any plans are required to be changed.

Kind regards
