Lost property

Lost property is piling up in Mighty Oaks
Please have a look through the box that remains outside the gate at the end of each session.

Could we also ask that your child always has a jumper and a coat with them, as no matter the weather we do play outside every day. Yesterday we had the typical unexpected all weather conditions in one day, rain, hail and sun! ☀️ 🌧️

Please label all coats and accessories
It really does help us to relocate them to the right areas and give them to the children.

Thank you, let’s hope we see some more dryer days soon.

Please also note that nursery are not asking for a bottle for the fayre, we are asking for a cake. Thank you 🙏🏼

Bean growing competition

Dear parents/carers,

As part of our Science unit, the children are learning about what plants need to thrive as well as how they reproduce and disperse their seeds. To support this, we are inviting children to take a runner bean seed home with them. In the final week of term, we will give a prize for the tallest plant and the longest runner bean in each class so there are two chances to win! Please send in picture evidence in the last week of term.

Thanks in advance,

The Year 3 Team

Safeguarding, Health & Safety Committee Update

The Safeguarding/Health & Safety Governors met on the 22^nd May in school. They really enjoyed talking to a group of older pupils about school dinners/packed lunches and were impressed with their understanding about what a healthy diet looks like.

Governors regularly carry out a ‘spot check’ linked to staff understanding of safeguarding policy and procedure. During this meeting they interviewed a Year 5 Teaching Assistant. Governors were satisfied with the in depth answers the staff member gave to their questions.

Governors had a focus on online safety and carried out a UKCIS online safety audit. Miss Hill is in charge of online safety in our school and is clearly doing a great job! Governors look forward to observing a whole school ‘invacuation drill’ this half term.

Both Mr Jackon and I would like to thank you for your ongoing support over this difficult time.

PE and Healthy Lifestyles Week

After the holidays, our PE days will remain the same – Wednesdays and Thursdays.

In the first week back, it will be Healthy Lifestyles Week. They can come to school in kit all week. The children will come home with a slip in their reading diaries on the first day back to record their activity at home. Please upload pictures as Miss Jones has explained to be in with a chance of winning some great prizes.

On Wednesday 5th June, we will be having our Wheelie Day. The children can bring their scooter or bike with them as we will be going outside to ride these together. They must have a helmet or will not be able to ride. Please speak to one of the Year 1 team if your child does not have a bike or scooter so that we can sort one out for them. Please take your children’s scooters or bikes round to the bike shed on the main playground as we will not be able to store them in the Year 1 Outdoor Area.

Our Visit to the Post Box!

First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who sent a stamp into school this week, it is much appreciated by the children and the staff!

This morning, the children took great pride in writing a postcard about their visit to Dudley Zoo and Castle. This afternoon, we went on a ‘post box adventure’ to post the children’s postcards. The children had a fantastic time and were very excited to post their very own postcard!

Keep those beady eyes out for the postcards arriving at your house.

TT Rockstars!

BK class definitely felt like rockstars!

Everyone looked fab so a massive thank you for your effort!
Today, we had lots of fun on TTRS 1:1 arena games (some children even beat Mrs King though she won’t admit it). We also battled it out during performance poetry and had lots of fun in our costumes today.

Shiver me timbers it’s a half term holiday! Rest up me hearties and batten down the hatches because we’ll have a busy summer 2. With the arrival of our chicks, sports’ day competitions and our residential we will certainly be kept busy.

See you all soon,
Year 2 team.
