Problems with our calendar
We use Google Calendar to publish our timetable of events, meetings and holidays. Unfortunately, Google has identified a bug which is causing events to be shown on the wrong days. They’re working on the problem; until they find a fix we’ve taken the calendar page down.
The next few important dates on our calendar are:
- Tuesday 14 December, 2.15pm – Reception, Y1 and Y2 Christmas production
- Wednesday 15 December, 2.15pm – Reception, Y1 and Y2 Christmas production
- Thursday 16 December, 2.30 to 4.30pm – PTA Christmas Fair
- Friday 17 December – school closes for the holidays
- Tuesday 04 January – school reopens
Sorry if you’ve been confused by our calendar recently!
Snow!
SEAL statement 06 December
‘I can see things from other people’s point of view’ is the final SEAL statement for our Getting On theme.
This follows on from our work last week on solving problems where, as part of the problem solving process, children are encouraged to listen to each other to consider their feelings.

The homework this week is ‘Creative’ and is due in Wednesday 08 December.
I can create a story mountain of my favourite traditional story.
I would like to see the children come up with some creative story mountains to structure their favourite traditional story.
Here are a few ideas:
- Pictures of each stage of the story mountain.
- Comic strip of each stage of the mountain.
- Main characters at different places on the story mountain.
These ideas are only a guide; it’s completely up to you how you want to create your story mountain.

- Create a fraction game or puzzle.
