Dear Parents,

Welcome back. I hope you all had a good Easter. The children have returned rested and ready to learn, it is lovely to see them. Our topic this term is Living and Growing so you can expect lots of questions about life cycles and habitats. Our SEAL topic is Going for Goals.

The children in Eagles are very excited about the trip to Whitby next week if a little wobbly. I am looking forward to seeing them when they get back because they always return very proud of themselves with increased self-confidence having successfully navigated a residential. All this as well as learning loads of Geography and History.

Most after school clubs restart next week, a few will start the week after due to the Whitby trip.
Monday – Film Club Y3-6 3.30 – 5.00
ICT Club Y4-6 3.30 – 4.30
Tuesday – Science Club Y3-6 3.30 – 4.30
Thursday – Running Club (this is a new club run by Mr Cooke which will start on Thursday 29th)
Gardening Y4-6 3.30 – 4.30
Drama Y2-6 3.30 – 4.30
Key Stage 1 R-Y2 3.20 – 4.00

If your child would like to come along to a club they are not in yet just let us know at the office. Other clubs run at lunchtimes. There is also Gymnastics on Monday and PAS on Tuesday run by outside providers.
