• Garden news

  Wed 27 Mar 2024 Elise Laird

  Spring has definitely arrived in the garden...

   

  • After seeing lots and lots of frogspawn in the pond in late February and early March, the children have been eagerly looking for tadpoles. None were spotted for a while then on Friday the children in 2S finally spotted them. Well done 2S!
  • Hundreds of daffodils, and a few tulips, have bloomed in the garden this spring, which has brought a feeling of brightness to some otherwise dull and damp gardening days. A variety of bulbs planted by year 2 in the middle playground have also started blooming. More should hopefully be in bloom after the Easter holidays. Year 2 have been helping to nurture the bulbs by watering them at break times, when required.
  • Pupils in years 6 through 3 have been getting an early start to the growing season by planting seeds to germinate on the school windowsills. They have planted tomato, cucumber, strawberry and aubergine seeds. Now that many (not all unfortunately) have successfully grown shoots they will continue to grow in the polytunnel over the break. Thank you to Easter club for agreeing to water them. 
  • Some First Early Casablanca variety potatoes were also chitted early in the term then planted outside by year 3 in March. We hope to have a good crop of yummy new potatoes by the end of summer term. 
  • Year 2 were able to directly plant broad beans into the ground outside last week and next term many children will hopefully get to enjoy the beans that years 1 and 2 have planted in the garden.   
  • Every group in years 2-6 have been planting sunflower seeds along the edge of the field for a sunflower growing competition.  At the summer fair we will measure the height of the sunflowers - the tallest one wins the class a prize!  So after the Easter break classes should remember to come along to the garden to water their sunflower, if the weather has been dry.

• Whole Class Reading Books for the Summer Term

  Tue 26 Mar 2024 G. Robinson

   

  As we look to next term, we ask parents of children in Years 2-6, to purchase a copy of the Whole Class Reading Book for their child. These lessons run in a similar format to English lessons and explicitly teach the children a range of reading strategies in a challenging and engaging way. You can find the book titles, and a link to purchase the book for Summer Term, on your child's Year Group Noticeboard.  

    

  If your child has a Pupil Premium Passport, we will provide your child with a copy of the class text free of charge. Please speak to your child's class teacher if you do not receive a grant but will be unable to provide the book due to financial reasons. Many thanks for your support. 

• Supporting the charity - Cancer Research

  Tue 26 Mar 2024

  Each year, we ask our children to choose three charities they would like to support. We choose one local charity, one national charity and one global charity to support throughout the school year. For more information about how we choose charities, please see here.

   

  This year we have already held a school fundraiser for Ealing food bank in the Autumn term. On Wednesday 24^th April we will hold our second charity event for the national charity Cancer Research.

   

  On the day the pupils will be learning about the importance of supporting charities and how this links to one of our school values, empathy.  In class pupils will be making a class empathy paper chain, sharing their ideas of how else they can demonstrate empathy towards others.

   

  To support the charity, we ask families to donate a small monetary contribution on Wednesday 24^th April (we suggest £1.) The money will be collected from classes and donated to the charity to support the important work that they do.

   

  Teachers have carefully planned the values lesson to be mindful and sensitive to pupils who have been directly impacted by cancer.
