Harvest Festival at The Lighthouse

6th October 2022H Trinity

Thank you to all the parents/carers who came to the Harvest Festival at The Lighthouse yesterday.  I know it moved those that did.  The thoughtful prayers and poems that were written by the pupils showed that this old tradition still has meaning today.  It was also a great opportunity for some pupils to engage in service and support the less fortunate.

A massive thank you for all your donations. These have been taken over to the food bank by pupils, teachers and the church team today.  Your generosity has been touching, particularly in these difficult times.

Year 3 Kickstart their Arts Award

6th October 2022H Trinity

Year 3 visited The National Gallery to see the ‘Picasso Ingres – Face to Face’ exhibition.  Year 3’s focus artist this term is Picasso and the exhibition gave the pupils a chance to experience his work first-hand and compare it to the work of another great artist.  This will help them to complete Part B of their Arts Award.

The pupils also studied Henri Rousseau’s painting ‘Surprised!’  This is the focus painting for The National Gallery’s ‘Take One Picture’ project this year.  Schools are invited to make art works based on the focus painting and submit them to the gallery.  After successfully submitting work for exhibition on two previous occasions, we are aiming to make it a hat-trick!

Meet the Teacher

We would like to welcome you to meet your child’s class teacher next Thursday after school.  Teachers will be remaining in their classrooms at the end of the day, so that they can introduce themselves to you and run through the important information about your child’s year group.  Please make your way to the classroom and bring your child with you.

Stay & Play

NB:  This is only an option for pupils whose parents/carers have attended a Meet the Teacher meeting. 

Once meetings are over, parents can stay in the playground and play with their children until 16.00. Parents must supervise their children at all times.  Staff will be around to answer questions from parents who may have children in more than one year group.

We look forward to seeing you.

Playground Update

15th September 2022H Trinity

The contractors have now finished laying the synthetic grass.  We are still waiting for some  snagging to be done and some new resources to arrive, but the pupils have been able to enjoy the re-developed space.  All their feedback has been very positive!

Next week, all parents can bring their children in through the bottom gate in the morning.

At the end of the day, parents can collect pupils in years 2-6 from their teachers in the bottom playground as normal.

Reception and year 1 pupils will remain in their classrooms and parents can collect them from there.

Thank you all for your patience and we look forward to welcoming you into the playground next week.

 

A Special Worship for a Special Queen

9th September 2022H Trinity

This morning pupils attended a special worship to give thanks for the life of Queen Elizabeth II.  The Queen was not just the Head of State, but also the Head of The Church of England, so it was fitting that we respectfully marked her passing.

The Queen was a great example to all and an inspiration to public servants in all sectors, with her tireless work ethic, tenacity and good humour.  She will be greatly missed.
