Notices and Reminders

World Book Day 2023

I was really impressed with the different book titles and imaginative creations the children brought to school. Thank you for all the effort into creating the sandwich boards and for sending in photos of your favourite places to read. One of the most popular activities we did today was DEAR which stands for drop everything and read. This is where the children stopped what they were doing got a book and read on their own, with a friend or in a group, something easy to do at home with the family

Year 2 Sports Event

Year 2 went to Berkhamsted Sport’s Space to take part in an inter school competition with a wide range of athletic activities including speed jumping, javelin throwing, relay races and balancing skills. We are eagerly awaiting the results which we will announce as soon as we know. The children had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the opportunity to take part in new sport disciplines. We would also like to thank the volunteers who helped walk the children to and from the sport centre.

British Science Week 13-17 March

The children will be taking part in British Science Week where they will complete lots of different activities linked to science including: a morning of experiments, learning about different STEM careers and taking part in live online science lessons. We are hoping this will inspire a generation of future scientists and help them make links to inventions and the science behind them.

Football Cards

We have noticed a number of children bringing football trading cards into school. To avoid them getting lost, damaged or unwanted swaps, please could they be left at home as this has caused problems in the past at school.
