Headteacher Newsletter and Updates for Spring 2:We have made a wonderfully positive start to the second half of the Spring Term.  I hope you enjoy the newsletter attached.

On Tuesday, some Y3/4 children visited St Peter’s C of E School as part of AIM High Maths led by Andrew Jeffery. They enjoyed playing different Maths games, puzzles and magic tricks with children from other schools. They had a fantastic day and were eager to share what they learned with their friends back at school!

Celebrating Children's Mental Health Week in Year 5. We've enjoyed games, created acrostic poems and some beautiful artwork to celebrate this years Children's Mental Health Week.

On Thursday afternoons, we have been learning about Ordnance Survey maps. Today, we focused on understanding maps symbols using a key. We challenged ourselves to locate a range of different symbols on a map and identify their meanings by referring to the key.

Dear Parents and Carers, Many of you will be aware that there is an ongoing issue with Thames Water supply.  We have received a recent update from them to say that supply should be restored within 24 hours.  However, at present, we have no choice but to close school today as there is no water available to flush toilets, wash hands or prepare food. If you wish, please use the half-termly curriculum project to support learning at home, as well as accessing the learning on the Century platform. We are expecting to open as usual tomorrow and will keep you informed of any updates or changes as the information becomes available. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause and thank you for your understanding. Kind regards Miss Stockley
