Welcome back to The Circle! The children in Year 2 and Year 3 have loved working with real artists from the Art Workers Guild, as part of a project this week. All of the year groups have been practising and showing off their gymnastics skills and I’ve even noticed the teachers doing the same! It’s a joy to see the children embracing their creativity while still enjoying their academic learning. Thanks as always for support and have a lovely weekend when it arrives. Best wishes, Andi and team
Rec- Courage
What a wonderful week in Reception! Our little learners have been busy with all sorts of fun activities, both indoors and out. A real highlight for many was becoming 'Worm Experts'! They did an amazing job teaching their friends and even the Year 1 children fascinating facts about worms and how these important creatures help our gardens and environment. We were so proud to see their courage as they shared their knowledge so clearly!
Year 1 – Courage and Joy
Our amazing Year 1 children took on the London Mini Marathon with loads of energy and excitement! So many of them gave it their all and took it really seriously, pushing themselves to complete all 5 laps. It was such a lovely event, full of big smiles, proud moments, and a real sense of achievement. They showed so much courage and determination – we couldn’t be prouder. Well done, everyone!
Year 2 – Curiosity
The children in Year 2 have had a fantastic time in their Art Workshops! They were exploring two different things, one group was exploring the shapes our facial features make before cutting them out to begin making shadow puppets. The other group was tracing around their hand and were beginning to use the different materials to print around their hand.
Year 3 – Curiosity
Over the next 3 weeks Year 3 will be working with artists from the Art Woker’s Guild to make their own creations for an exhibition. One group has been exploring shadow puppets while the other has been working on stamp making using rubbers! They have got off to an excellent start and have began working on artistics designs using materials that they can find in their classroom!

Breakfast Club and After School club
Link to pay for breakfast club and the school trip:
We will be moving our Student Management Information System (MIS) to Arbor in September 2024 and we are no longer using Reach More Parents (WEDUC) to take online payments for trips and the breakfast club. Please use this link to purchase breakfast club places and for trip payments.
Breakfast club opens from 7:50am Children need to arrive before 8.30 to join the breakfast club. If parents arrive at 8.30 or later they will be asked to wait at the main gate until 8.40, because the breakfast club is closed and children are already being taken to their various classes. If a child arrives a few minutes before the club closes, they can still eat breakfast in the classroom as we would never want a child to go without breakfast. It’s the case for all parents that if they let a member of staff know in the morning that their child hasn’t eaten breakfast, they will always be offered and encouraged to eat something as this is best for their wellbeing and learning.
We will be asking for a contribution of £2 per day. We can offer a discount for siblings and this cost does not affect families eligible for Free School Meals. If you are experiencing financial difficulties, please contact the School office and we will do our best to help.Thanks for your understanding.
After School club
