We are delighted to report that, thanks to a considerable amount of support from The Big Local Lottery Fund, at last we are able to erect a fence around our school playing field.  It is anticipated that the work will begin on Monday, 24^th November 2014 and will take approximately one week.

The new fence will be a huge benefit to both the children at our school and the local community for several reasons:

• The field will be a safer place to play and learn, because the risk from broken glass and dog fouling will be removed.
• We know that the children will be contained within a safe space, so will not be at risk from stray dogs and strangers.
• Subject to prior approval from the school, organised community groups will be able to use our field after school in the summer and at weekends all year round.
• Increased use of the field will provide opportunities for pupils and the local community to engage in more sporting activities, thus promoting healthy lifestyles.

This week we took the opportunity to celebrate differences, and to understand how it feels and how important it is to belong to a group.

We also looked at unkindness, what it is and how it makes us feel, and how important it is to tell a grown up when someone makes you feel sad.

The photos show us looking at things that are the same and different about each other and we celebrated differences.

We have also read the books, Dogs Don’t Do Ballet by Anna Kemp and Something Else by Kathryn Cave. Both books celebrate differences.

In Caterpillar Music the children loved working with the puppets and ‘finding a voice’ for them. There were some super voices coming from the puppets!                                                                                                                         

Mrs P. and her baking club have been very creative ‘merging different cultural dishes’ to come up with Pitta Bread Pizzas! Look out MasterChef!
