Year 5 have set the school a very
healthy challenge for Lent. Their
proposal includes only fruit for
playtime snack and lunches to
consist of either a school healthy
dinner or a sugar free pack lunch
from home containing just
sandwiches and fruit. Star Anise
Chefs will provide for children
having pack lunches a healthy
pudding, a “packet of crisps
alternative” and access to vegetable
crudités. Water will be provided
as the healthy drink for all children.
Children not eligible for a free meal
will be able have a full school
healthy dinner for the reduced cost
of £1.50 for the whole of Lent.
Let’s get healthy together, as part
of the feedback from parents we
are also incentivising staff to eat
with children too.
Well done to the Year 5/6 Rugby
Squad and Year 3/4 Netball Team
who braved the recent bitterly cold
weather to compete against other
schools. Their perseverance and
team spirit was fabulous!
Hope you have a great holiday and
we look forward to seeing you back
on Monday 22nd February for a
very healthy short term leading up
to Easter.

The whole school has enjoyed seeing
the chicks hatch and grow. We sadly
said good bye to them today as they
journey to their new home, a local
small holding. Reception have been
great substitute parents and have
grown healthy, fluffy chicks!
Great news thanks to Year 6’s
persuasive letter asking local
companies for donations towards
their Goblin Electric Go-Kart
challenge, we have received a £500
contribution from Stella Systems plus
possible help building them. If you
know of any companies we could write
to, do let us know.
A big thank you goes to the PTFA for
their hard work in putting on a very
successful Valentines Disco, which
was enjoyed by many. It was lovely
hearing the children sing karaoke and
enjoying all the donated cakes (thanks
for the children who brought them
in). Surplus cakes will be sold tonight
at the Treat Friday.

Our action this week in Maths is adding numbers
together. In Literacy we have been learning describing
words and putting them in a sentence to make it sound
better (e.g. We have ten yellow chicks and they live in
a blue box.) We have been holding our chicks and they
are growing fast and even started to slap their wings.
Y5 came down on Tuesday with some pancakes for us to
try. They were yummy.
