Dogs
A reminder please to request that dogs are kept on a lead if bringing them to the gates and surrounding areas at pick up and drop off times.  Please could we ask that all dogs are kept back from the school gates. This is to help keep everyone safe and also to recognise that some children and adults may be a little scared of dogs that are off the lead.  Many thanks for your help and understanding with this.

Celebrating Diwali
We hope all our families who celebrate Diwali had a lovely time celebrating with family. You and your child can find more about Diwali here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/lets-celebrate-diwali.

Parent Meetings
We look forward to discussing your children’s progress at our parents and carers appointments next week. If you still require an appointment, please speak to a member of staff at pick up or drop off or call the school office.

You’ll also be able to enjoy some tea, coffee and delicious home baking, made and served by a group of pupils too! Please do pop in if you can – we really look forward to seeing you.

Our Netherlee Apple Tree
Over the last few weeks our children have been picking apples, making juice and crumble with some of the apples from the Netherlee apple tree.  We were so glad to be able to share our bumper crop of cooking apples with you too. We’d really love to see photos of what you made at home as these can then be used in one of our floor books. Thank you. We know that some of you have been concerned about the apple tree looking a bit sorry for itself since it blew over during summer. Please don’t worry, we’ll soon have it staked up and growing happily again soon. Continue reading
