Year 1 are ‘On the Move!’

Year 1 have had a great start to Spring 2. The children are loving their new topic, ‘On the Move’ and thoroughly enjoyed themselves on our school trip to Milestones. The children loved exploring the historic vehicles and getting up close to the Thornycroft vehicles. Over the last week, the children have recounted their trip experiences and have written some wonderful recounts of the day. One of their highlights was sitting on the 1940s bus and listening to the story, ‘The Naughty Bus’.

We also had a wonderful time on Friday, celebrating World Book Day. The children’s costumes were fabulous and it was great seeing so many different characters across the year group. The children loved learning about different stories and also creating artwork for a door in their classroom. Can you guess what books the children learnt about from these photos?

Thank you for your continued support.

World Book Day

The children looked amazing today! Thank you for your support and efforts in making it happen. It’s been another lovely day to be at St Mark’s. You may have also heard about ‘chokies’, chocolate cake, Bob the Builder and Matilda. The children were treated to a St Mark’s Performance, which brought much laughter. Thanks to Mrs Chapman and Mrs Rosso for putting it all together.

Do you speak French?

On Thursday 30th March, we are having a “French Culture Day”. We are looking for adults who speak French to help us out by reading a story to our children in French. We can be flexible with times. Please let us know.

Water Bottles and Sweets!

A reminder that water bottles should be as plain and unbranded as possible. “Prime” waterbottles are not allowed, in the same way that we don’t allow Coke or other brands as water bottles.

Please avoid putting sweets in children’s lunchboxes too! Thanks.
