Year 6 visit

Year 6 enjoyed their visit to Frog Firle Farm on Tuesday. They did pond dipping and looked at natural habitats among other activities.

Year 1 visit

Year 1 visited the Post Office on Wednesday as part of their topic work. They found out about the work the post office does and had a good look round. They had lots of fun and learnt a lot.

Year 4 Visit

Pizza Express was Year 4’s destination on Thursday morning. They enjoyed finding out how pizzas are made and having a taste of a pizza or two.
What a busy week for visits!

Free Christmas Party

On Sunday 11th December there is a free Christmas Party for children aged 5 – 11. The party is organised by the unemployed centre and is for children whose parents are currently unemployed or unwaged. The party will be held at the Brighton Unemployed Centre in Tilbury Place. Please call 671213 for more information and to book a place.

SEN Questionnaires

If you have received one of these questionnaires please could you return it to the office as soon as possible.

Independent Infants

Please could you encourage children to come into school independently in the mornings. It does wonders for their confidence and helps to avoid a chaotic start to the day with lots of grown ups in the classroom. If you have a message for the teacher please write a note or come to the office and the office staff will pass on the message on your behalf.

Hair

It’s a popular time for Headlice at the moment. The little beasties are busy in most classes and are growing bigger by the second. So please check your child’s hair on a regular basis.
If your child has long hair they need to have it tied up. This helps to avoid catching the beasties and sharing them with others.
Please could I also remind you for health and safety reasons children should not wear jewellery of any sort. Ear studs are the exception to the rule to avoid pierced ears closing up.

Violin Lessons

Sorry but there will be no violin lessons this Tuesday (8th November)

School Dinners

Children who have a school dinner will be enjoying the new and improved menu from Monday. Fresh vegetables and much less processed food will mean the meals will be much healthier and tastier. We hope more children will try our school dinners.
