• Trips and Experiences

  Thu 19 Oct 2023

  We have always enhanced our curriculum with trips and experiences for your children. Over the past few years the cost of travel to these has risen greatly and we are thinking about ways that we can maintain these enhancements whilst keeping costs manageable for you.

   

  An example of the price of travel is our class 3 trip to Walesby. Although this is under 30 miles the total cost of the coach is £610. With our small cohorts these costs are even higher as the total cost of the coach is shared between as few as 22 children. With some of our families having two children in one class, these requests for payment can be burdensome.

   

  For the time being we will continue with our residential trips for children in years 3,4, 5 and 6. These have such an impact on children and the skills they acquire by being away from home are difficult to replicate.  We will be reviewing these trips at some point though, as some parents are paying out for these for six years running if their children are two school years apart and longer if they have more than two children! At around £300 each trip this is not be taken lightly.

   

  To lessen the cost of curriculum trips, whilst maintaining the high quality learning experience, we are going to be sourcing more outside providers and visiting companies to bring experiences to school. As with a trip, we will have to charge for these but they will be considerably less than if we were going out of school.

   

  The first of these experiences is our Diwali Dance and Celebration Day on Thursday 9^th November. This will cost £4 per child and is payable via Squid. This will be a fabulous day of learning for your children and will give them experiences we couldn’t provide ourselves and we are really looking forward to it.

• Awards and Achievements Assembly

  Fri 13 Oct 2023

  It was lovely to have so many parents in school this morning to hear about the wide range of activities that children take part in outside of school. We heard about football, golf, ski-ing, running, tennis, gymnastics, dance, farming, reading, Brownies, music and swimming. 

   

  The children explained so articulately their achievements and what they had had to do to get their awards.

• Chicken Pox

  Thu 05 Oct 2023

  We have Chicken Pox in school. Please be vigilant.

   

  This information is form the NHS website:

   

  Chickenpox is common and mostly affects children, but you can get it at any age. It usually gets better by itself after 1 to 2 weeks without needing to see a GP.

   

  Check if it's chickenpox

  An itchy, spotty rash is the main symptom of chickenpox. It can be anywhere on the body.

  Chickenpox happens in 3 stages. But new spots can appear while others are becoming blisters or forming a scab.

  Stage 1: small spots appear

  The spots can:

  • be anywhere on the body, including inside the mouth and around the genitals, which can be painful
  • spread or stay in a small area
  • be red, pink, darker or the same colour as surrounding skin, depending on your skin tone
  • be harder to see on brown and black skin

  Stage 2: the spots become blisters

  The spots fill with fluid and become blisters. The blisters are very itchy and may burst.

   

  Stage 3: the blisters become scabs

  The spots form a scab. Some scabs are flaky while others leak fluid.

   

  Other symptoms

  Before or after the rash appears, you might also get:

  • a high temperature
  • aches and pains, and generally feeling unwell
  • loss of appetite

  Chickenpox is very itchy and can make children feel miserable, even if they do not have many spots.

  The chickenpox spots look the same on children and adults. But adults usually have a high temperature for longer and more spots than children.

  It's possible to get chickenpox more than once, but it's unusual.

   

  Stay off school or work

  You'll need to stay away from school, nursery or work until all the spots have formed a scab. This is usually 5 days after the spots appeared.
