Happy New Year and welcome back to Term 3. 

We hope that you are all looking forward to an exciting new enquiry topic this term 'Where does our food really come from and how big is your footprint?'  For this fascinating enquiry, we will be working as geographers, philosophers and scientists learning about food provenance, how it is grown, reared, caught or processed and comparing the physical and human geography conditions for food production and distribution.

If any parents or carers have any expertise or have a career within this area, please come and talk to us about sharing your expertise as we welcome the opportunity for visitors to come into school to talk to the children. 

P.E. and Games.

Indoor P.E. (Gymnastics) will be on Monday afternoons.

Outdoor Games (Basketball) will be on Thursday afternoons whatever the weather so please come dressed in suitable clothing for the field or playground in the wet and cold. Please no football kits, bright clothing, branded sports wear.  Long hair must be tied back and earrings removed or taped.
