Mellifluous

Breakfast Club cancellation Unfortunately, due to lack of numbers, the school has made the decision to cancel Breakfast Club. It will run for the duration of Term 2 as a notice period, before cancelling in Term 3. The possibility of the club starting again will be dependent on interest and numbers.

Welcome Back! Welcome to Term 2! We hope you had an enjoyable half term! There is a lot of different events happening this term—it promises to be very exciting. Please check the dates section of the newsletter as there have been more dates added for events this term!

Reminder Please can we remind parents to not come into the classrooms in the morning. If you need to speak to your child’s teacher, they are available on the playground from 8.35am or after school. If you arrive at school late, a member of staff will take your child to their classroom.

Remembrance Service Parents and carers are invited to the Remembrance Service on Friday 9th November. It is in the Church and begins at 9.15am, not 10.30am, as previously stated.

William – Year 6

This week I have been a Growth Mindset Hero

because in literacy I have been trying to make my handwriting neater and I think I have made some

improvements!

I am a Professor Brain because I could order all of the days of the week and some of the months

in maths.

Eco Warriors

It is fabulous to see our new Eco Warriors taking on their new roles. Next week we will be allocating jobs and duties for this term as well as discussing ideas and information. The Eco Board on the outside theatre has been updated and photos of all the Eco Warriors will be going up so that everyone knows who they are. We look forward to them taking on the challenge of making the school more eco-friendly and taking care of our resources and we will continue to update you on their progress in newsletters.

Governors

Katy Norris

My name is Katy Norris and I am the teacher governor for the Pioneer Federation. I have been a teacher for 6 years teaching year 1 and 2. I have been at St Mary the Virgin for 2 years. Previously to that, I taught at Cross-In-Hand school.

I very much enjoy teaching KS1 as it is a time of great development, both academically and socially, for all children. Becoming part of a the Pioneer Federation has enabled all staff to learn from each other and benefit from shared ideas.

When I am not at school, I love going to the theatre, reading books and taking our chocolate Labrador for walks on the Ashdown Forest.
