Spring Term message from Mrs Cropper: 

Welcome back to an Exciting Spring Term!

Happy New Year! We hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable break, filled with special moments with family and friends. As we step into the Spring term, we have some wonderful opportunities and activities planned, some of these include:

**Let’s Go Sing Performance** – A joyful celebration of music and community spirit! The children have been working hard and we cannot wait to see them shine on stage.  

We also want to take this opportunity to remind families about the importance of regular reading. Reading at least **three times a week** is a wonderful way to develop essential skills, spark imagination and build a lifelong love for books. Please support your child by carving out time for reading and encouraging them to explore a variety of stories and topics.  

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at the door from 8:45am or by leaving a message at the office.

Best wishes, 

Mrs Cropper

Year 5 have started to develop their monotype art. This lesson we spent time choosing and creating the colours that reflected the poem we read- Ghost in the Garden.
