As you know, our Governors visit the school regularly to see what is going on, meet the children and look at learning books. This morning’s focus visit looked at writing across the school and Miss Davis took our Governors off to see what the children are doing. They saw our new handwriting scheme in action – Peg to Paper, listened to the children read their stories, spoke to them about their identities as writers and had a good look in the books.

A huge thank you to all our families for your amazing generosity this harvest. We had a lovely celebration this morning and were delighted to be joined by Rev Wendy and Nick Russell from St Saviours Church. Wendy told us all about a fearless female dairy farmer from Ireland, and Nick dazzled us with his magic tricks and helped us to think about the importance of being kind. It was a lovely celebration and our next job will be to bag up your donations and deliver them to our pensioner friends on the estate. Well done everyone

MIDDLE PARK FAME ACADEMY: In other exciting news – for any fans of the new crime series on BBC1 ‘Strike’ – look out in November for this little actress who will be featuring. You can’t miss that giant smile – (Although we don’t think she’ll be smiling much on screen if the storyline is anything to go by!) Well done little-legs

We’re so happy to be back learning and playing together. The classrooms are taking shape and we have some fantastic book areas popping up. Children are thinking and talking and solving problems, recording, creating and supporting one another. It’s going to be a great year!
