Welcome to this week's Weekly Update! The children have settled well into term 6.

Already, I have seen some excellent writing and maths mastery work - I am looking forward to seeing more of this fabulous work across the next few weeks.

Last Friday, we had an Inset day which focused on feedback and marking. All the teaching staff had the opportunity to reflect on their current systems for supporting the children to move forward in their learning. Having the opportunity to evaluate and learn is always so rewarding, as it enables us to ensure we are providing the best possible teaching and learning for the children at school. As we tell the children, ‘Every day is a day to learn something new!’

I have spent time in all the classes this week. I was particularly impressed with the independence in learning I observed in reception; their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn is wonderful. Also, I had the opportunity to observe our nursery children at the start of the day. It was an absolute pleasure to see them start the day so positively and with such efficient hand washing routines.

Finally, I want to say thank you to all of you who have supported the PTFA today with your donations for Rainbow Day. The school has been a sea of colour; the children have loved spreading some cheer and sunshine on such a dreary, wet day.

I hope you like the collection of photos, in my update, that share some of the great outfits from the day.

Have a great weekend. Let’s hope the rain stays away!

Best wishes Mrs Pocock
