Y3 Matlock Farm Park Trip

Dear Parent/Carer

Over the course of Year 3, we will be studying the Peak District in Geography. To support the children with their understanding of what the Peak District has to offer, we will be going on an educational visit to Matlock Farm Park in Derbyshire.

The visits will take place on: - Monday, 18th May

To get a full day at the farm, we aim to leave school at 8.55am, so please drop your child to school at 8:40am. We expect to return to school by 4.00pm. You will need to collect your child from the junior hall. If there are any delays, the school’s office team will contact you by 3.30pm. To ensure you can receive any updates on delays, please check your contact details are correct at the school’s main office.

We are asking for £15.00 per child which covers the cost of the coach and entry to the farm. Please return payment and consent via the Arbor app. You may pay in installments of £1.00 until the full payment is received.

If you have any concerns or questions about payment, please speak to your child’s class teacher as soon as possible so alternative arrangements can be made. If there are any difficulties with using the Arbor app for payment, then please see the school office.

For this trip, children must wear full school uniform including sensible shoes/wellies. You will need to provide your child with a packed lunch and a bottle of water with their name written on it. If your child is in receipt of free school meals a packed lunch will be ordered for them.

In the event of wet weather, we are asking that all children bring a weather-proof coat with their name written in it.

If you have any other questions or queries about the trip, please talk to your child’s class teacher.

Many thanks

Year 3 team

🌟📸 **School Photo Day** 📸🌟

The School Photography Company will be capturing individual photos of all the children on Thursday, 30th April.

As many parents requested, these snapshots will be ready just in time for Eid-ul-Adha, making for perfect gifts to share with loved ones.

If you prefer that your child/children do not have their photograph taken, please let the school office know by 27th April.

If you have got younger siblings who want to join in the fun bring them along for the family photo at 8 AM or after school at 3:15 PM.

Throughout the school day, all other children will have their individual photos taken as usual!

Many thanks

Y3 Science

In Y3 we wrapped up our plant unit in science with a fun exploration of seed dispersal! 🌬️ We learned all about how seeds can travel through the wind, and even made our own sycamore seeds to see just how far they can be blown away! 🌳🍃 It was amazing to watch them spread and imagine all the new places they could grow. Nature is truly fascinating! 🌍💚 #ScienceRocks Read more

Important Update About Arbor Emails

Dear Families,

We wanted to keep you in the loop about a little hiccup we've encountered with our emails from Arbor. It seems that they’ve been sneaking into your junk folders! This issue isn’t just happening here; it's a nationwide thing affecting many parents across the UK.

Arbor is a fantastic school system, but unfortunately, some emails have been mistakenly marked as junk by users, leading to Google and Microsoft tagging all Arbor emails the same way. This means some of our important messages may not be reaching you as they should.

But don’t worry! There's a quick fix! To ensure you start receiving our emails in your inbox again, simply find an email from Arbor, click on it, and mark it as “Not Junk” or move it to your inbox. This will help kickstart the process and get our communications back where they belong!

We truly value keeping you informed about events and celebrating our students' learning adventures. So, thank you for your understanding and support! If you have any questions, feel free to speak to our school office.

Morning families!

We’re super excited to share that our Opal Play project is a hit with the children during lunch times! 🎉 To make it even better, we’re reaching out for your help!

This week, we’re on the lookout for any picnic blankets, sandbox play toys, buckets shovels & molds that you might have tucked away and no longer use. If you have any of these items, we’d love to give them a new home in our play sessions!

And guess what? We’ve got some fun snapshots of the kids enjoying their lunchtime on the last week of term! 📸

Thank you so much for your ongoing support! You make our community awesome! 💖
