Hand Washing

Can all Parents & Carers please support the messages given in school this week regarding hand washing by reminding their children that they must wash their hands for 20 seconds before eating and after using the toilet. We have noticed an increase in children not washing their hands, which could help spread threadworms and sickness bugs.

Climbing on school walls

It has been observed multiple times that children both from St Anne's and from other settings are climbing on the walls of the sloped entrance in the playground at pickup (from school and from after school clubs). This is a highly dangerous activity due to the increased drop to the playground on the other side. Parents & Carers must ensure that their children do not endanger themselves in this way and are responsible for the behaviour of children in their care at all times whilst on school grounds with them.

• In our enquiry we are going to be finishing off our research on nursing in the past and creating timelines. In writing we are going toc continue exploring Hansel and Gretel and in maths we are going to be carrying on looking at addition and subtraction equations. 

• We are going to start completing the full Phonics Screener, so please can you keep reading with your children at least 3 times a week so they are constantly practicing stretching and reading words. 

• As the weather is warmer and brighter, and to tie it in with our season enquiry we would love to start some gardening in the year 1 playground. If you could donate any seeds/ pots/ compost that would be amazing and greatly appreciated! - Please no bulbs or tubers though.

 

Year 2

• SS Great Britain trip on Wednesday 25th March. Please ensure children come to school in full uniform on the day. We will be departing at around 9.15 and returning before the end of the school day.
