Fun at the Farm

On Tuesday, our Nursery Class went to Windmill Hill City Farm for a trip. They were able to go into a lot of the animal pens to touch and feed the animals. Some children were very brave and smoothed the animals despite being a little bit scared. Lots of children said the sheep felt 'tickly' and 'slimy' when they were feeding them. 

They also had the chance to try some different herbs and plants, and smell others. The tried things like Sorrell, and chives. The latter not being to everyone's liking! 

Little gardeners are what they became too, they helped the staff water the plants, sort the seeds and plant some more seeds too. Their passion, curiosity and enthusiasm was amazing to see and hear. They represented the school well and showed everyone to be kind, passionate and curious about their world. Well done Nursery Class! 

Going Greek! 

This morning, Year 3 brought their reading sequence to life by making and trying a Greek Salad. 

A big thanks to Mrs Sofia and Ioanna for teaching the class some Greek words too!

ATTENDANCE

Winter Illnesses 

As usual for this time of year,  with the drop in temperature comes an increase in germs and bugs! 

We're now getting at the time of year where the weather has got colder and wetter and this  usually means that children are picking up more bugs, and sharing them around! 

We do understand that as parents, our initial instict is to keep children at home when they are poorly, however a lot of the time, minor illnesses can be managed at school. 

We recommend looking at the guidance below, which has been issued in partnership with the UK Health Security Agency and the NHS. 

Measles 

We have recently been informed by Public Health that there are a small number of measels cases in Bristol and the surrounding area. 

Most children will have been vaccinated against measles as part of their childhood immunisations - however Public Health have shared with us some helpful information to help spot the signs...

Awards & celebrations

We don't have any official Head Teachers Awards this week, as we will be having a special advent assembly on Monday. 

However we have a very special award to share with you following an exceptional event...
