Visit to Mrs Armitage
Nursery and reception children have all enjoyed a visit to Mrs Armitages house. They travelled on the bus and then joined Mrs Armitage for a drink and a slice of cake. The children asked Mrs Armitage lots of questions and also found out how to mend a puncture. Thank you, Mrs Armitage for inviting the children for a visit.
Year 5 meet Sports Reporter
Children in Year 5 had lots of questions for Paul Hayward a sports writer for a national newspaper when he visited the school today. Paul shared his enjoyment of his job and the pressure and excitement of meeting newspaper deadlines. Mr Brazil shared some of the children’s impressive sports writing with Paul.
On Time Teds
This week’s Key Stage 1 winners are Year 2 with 3 late marks and in Key Stage 2 the winners are Years 6 with 1 late mark. Fabulous! Well done to both classes for excellent punctuality.
‘Who Am I’ Group
After the half term break we will be running a group for children aimed at exploring their sense of identity. The idea is to help children understand and feel positive about who they are. A letter was sent home yesterday regarding this group. If you did not receive the letter please ask your child or ask at the office for a copy.
Funding for Gardening Club
The Brighton and Hove Food Partnership have awarded the school £200 as part of their Harvest Schools project aimed at helping schools to develop their growing spaces. Our space is small but we are eager to develop the area and grow more. Mrs Purdy is our keen gardener so she is very pleased to receive the funding for the Middle Street gardening club to make use of.
