Crew Ferguson Autumn scavenger hunt!

7th October 2022Toni Ferguson

The children in nursery today were set a challenge to collect and see lots of objects linking to Autumn. We worked as a crew to collect leaves, twigs, conkers and feathers. We saw puddles, wriggly worms and even spiders webs! We had to be be kind to the animals and our woodland environment. The children loved exploring and wanted to bring everything they could see back inside to explore further.

Exploring the outdoors in Early Years

4th October 2022A Welburn

As we move into Autumn and Winter, we are really loving exploring the outdoors in our EYFS crews! We’d love it even more if we were allowed to jump in the puddles, make mud pies and explore the water area…but to do this, we need the right clothes! Please can you send us with our wellies and waterproofs so that we can explore our outdoor environments while also keeping our uniforms clean – your washing machines will thank you for it!

No Smoking

Please can we remind parents that we are a smoke free zone. This means that smoking, including e-cigarettes, are not permitted on any areas of the school premises including the playgrounds and car park.

Crew Welburn’s Exciting Expedition

12th September 2022A Welburn

Crew Welburn had an exciting week in expedition last week – we’d had a visitor in our classroom! The visitor had left some footprints leading around the room, which we used to draw a map, and he’d even been caught on the cameras! It was very exciting and we spent lots of time searching the classroom to see if he was still there!

PE – Crew Shields

7th September 2022Ruth Shields

It has been an active morning in Crew Shields as we have taken part in both Scotty’s Heroes and Active Fusion. As always PE can be an area that pushes children out of their comfort zones but they showed great resilience, which is what we want to develop as we go through Year 5.

Huge well done to Izzy who was selected as Hero of the Week.

Punctuality

Punctuality Autumn Term

Welcome back to all of our Pupils and Parents. As we start a new academic year I just wanted to send a quick post out regarding punctuality. We will also be sharing one with some reminders about attendance too.

We have been really impressed with pupils’ punctuality this week, with the vast majority of pupils attending school on time. However, we just wanted to send out some reminders to ensure everyone is aware of our school expectations around punctuality, which we have also shared with the pupils.

●  Our school start time is 8.40/ pupils should be on school grounds from 8.35 ready to enter school at 8.40

●  We will ring a bell at 8.40 to signal that pupils should enter school at this time

●  We expect pupils to be in school no later than 8.45

●  Doors will close at 8.50 as this gives time for anyone who may be running late to still enter viatheir normal school door/ a bell will ring at 8.50 to say that doors should now be closed and anyone arrive after this will be classed as late

If you know that your child is going to be late for school, please may we ask that you bring your child into the school and complete a ‘Late Form’ for your child, explaining why they are late on this occasion. Late pupils should always be brought in by their adult, if your child arrives without an adult, we will ask for you to come in later that day/the following day to complete the late form.

We understand that mornings can be busy and on the odd occasion pupils may arrive after 8.50 but we do need to ensure that pupils are arriving at school on time the vast majority of the time.

Arriving late into the crew can be unsettling both for your child and others. It also takes time away from adults being with the children. Finally, it means that our Admin Staff are unable to complete the registration process in a timely manner as they are taking late pupils to classes to ensure their safety.

Thank you for taking the time to read and for your understanding around this matter.
