It was an encouraging turnout for our parent coffee morning on Wednesday and we are so grateful to Shaymaa and Tracy for organising it and putting so much effort in. One of the losses during the pandemic was opportunities for parents and carers to get together with one another and build those lovely networks and friendships. Shaymaa and Tracy are really trying to do something about that and hoping to build some new Middle Park connections.

What would you wear on a ‘Dress to Express’ day?? Some of us have dressed up, some of us have dressed down. Some have gone big, some have gone small. We’re all comfortable in different ways and more than ever, today we are celebrating our differences and enjoying all our looks. #dresstoexpress

We had photograph day this week and all got to practise our very best smiles. Thank you to our wonderful Year 6 helpers who kept the troops entertained and kept things moving.

This is what ‘flooding’ looks like at Middle Park. In every class from FS2 to Year 2, three times a week a team of staff are drafted in for a 30 minute focused reading session, and twice a week in Year 3. We know that by increasing the frequency of quality of reading time in school we can support children to progress in their reading so that they can start reading to learn and reading for pleasure.

Cameron in Year 2 has been investigating coins in his homework and had this brilliant idea as a way of recording his learning. Great job Cameron!

Thanks to Emma and our lovely catering team for a delicious American Diner day yesterday. We loved it.
