Medicines in School

It is that time of year again when lots of children develop coughs and colds and occassionally feel 'under the weather'.  Could I please remind you that school policy does not allow us to administer any over the counter medicines in school. If it is essential that your child takes prescribed medicines during the schoool day prior arrangements need to be made.  Please see Mrs Meredith or Mrs Harris in the school office in this instance.

Thank You

A reminder that the first day back for children is Thursday 5th January

School Fayre & Langport Christmas Fayre

Please come along with family and friends to support our Christmas Fayre on Friday 2 December from 3pm - 6pm.   You will be able to purchase handmade crafts, cakes, jewellery and enjoy the many activities on offer.

We will also be holding a craft stall at the Langport Christmas Fayre on Saturday 3 December.

The school choir will be performing at both events.

We look forward to seeing you at one or both of the events. 

What a busy start to the year.  Just a few reminders: 

• Please sign up for your parents' consultation meeting if you haven't already done so.
• The Shoe Box Appeal is running until half term.  Please help to bring a little happiness to those children less fortunate than ourselves.
• Photograph money to be sent in as soon as possible please

The new volcano topic has got off to a great start in our class, and the children are proving themselves to be enthusiastic learners!  We have identified several different volcanoes around the world, and have begun to study the Pacific Ring of Fire as a site of much of the world's volcanic activity.  We have also been creating our own volcanoes in class - mixing vinegar and bicarbonate of soda to produce a gentle flow of fizzing 'lava', experimenting with toothpaste, washing up liquid and rice crispies to explore lava flow and pressure, and using the properties of hot and cold water to create an underwater volcano!

The children also have a "Volcanic Challenge" to attempt at home - can they create their own model volcano?  Henry has already brought in an amazing chicken wire and papier mache version, and there are many other ways to make one too.  Perhaps a painted cardboard structure; maybe a plastic bottle and modelling clay; even careful use of a construction kit like Lego!  Those containing a bottle could even be made to erupt! Please have a go with your child, and bring the final piece into school the week after half term.

We look forward to seeing all of the wonderful creations!

Mrs Boulton, Mrs Simmonds and Sedgemoor class

If you are a regular volunteer, or are interested in becoming a volunteer in school, you are welcome to attend our Volunteer Morning on Monday 26th September  9.00am - 10.00am.  You will receive a short induction, outlining school routines and protocols, and observe an example of how we hear reading in school.  Please do come along.

A very BIG well done to Kingsmoor class for completing their summer reading challenge in such style!  Each child earnt 1 reading mile for every page that they read over the summer holidays.  On average, each child read over 1,000 pages and the winner earned enough miles to get to Papua New Guinea! Keep it up Kingsmoor Class!
