Black History Month

Throughout the year there are months that celebrate the history of different groups of people. These months help us to learn more about people, their history and their importance to the wider world. Black History Month is celebrated each year in October. It is a chance to celebrate the achievements of black people past and present.

The Big Ambition – Have your say! The Children’s Commissioner for England, Dame Rachel de Souza, has launched The Big Ambition, a national survey of children and young people across England. The Big Ambition aims to hear from children across England on what they think is important! In the lead up to the next General Election, the Children’s Commissioner wants to take children’s thoughts, opinions and ideas to decision-makers, to make sure that the Government hears young people’s voices on what they think needs to be done to make children’s lives better in England. The Big Ambition survey will be open until Friday 15th December.

Snacks

As your child is now in KS2, a fruit snack at breaktime is no longer provided for them. Please ensure that your child brings a healthy snack into school with them to eat at break time.

Sun Safety

As the warm weather is still with us, we need to continue with sun safety.

Please provide your child with a named sun hat and ensure that they have a named plastic water bottle (with sports cap opening).

If your child requires sun cream, please ensure they apply it before school. If you wish them to reapply sun cream before breaktimes, lunchtimes or outdoor PE, please provide them with a named bottle. Staff are not allowed to apply sun cream to children, so please ensure that your child can apply it themselves.
