Year 6 – Supporting Mason’s Extreme Haircut!

After 2 years of growing his hair, Mason is finally ready for his extreme hair cut. Once he has had it cut, his lovely long locks will be donated to the Little Princess Trust, who will turn it into a wig for a child who has lost their hair to cancer. 

 

 
 
We are all so proud of you for your commitment to this, Mason! Good luck!

Year 3 – Stonehenge Trip

The children in Year 3 have been working extremely hard and are showing so many of our school learning behaviours through their learning. In history, we have been loving our learning about The Stone Age – we have been learning about what life was like. 

We are looking forward to our school trip to Stonehenge on Friday! We have been watching the weather forecast very carefully and hope for a dry day. We ask that your children dress appropriately for the day. We will be mostly outside so please ensure all children have a rain coat. There is very limited shelter so providing things below is extremely important. 

Clothing
School jumpers and polo shirts
School trousers or plain dark leggings for girls 
Trainers (That may get muddy!)
Waterproof warm coat with a hood
Optional – waterproof trousers (weather dependent)

Lunch
A small back pack with lunch in this (bear in mind they will be carrying this with them all day)
Water bottle

NO spending money is required – sadly we will not have time to go into the shop on site. 

Any questions, please email year3@stmarksce.org.uk 

We have just started our new class reader, ‘The Wild Way Home by Sophie Kirtley’. Our first class reader was ‘Anisha the Accidental Detective by Serena Patel.’ The children thoroughly enjoyed this book. If you are looking for a new read, we highly recommend the other books in this series: 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

Year 2 Mini Trip Fun!

 

 

As part of our ‘Beauty Inside and Out’ project this half term, geography has been a key focus for us.  We have been looking at our school grounds and the Danebury Road area immediately out the front of the school.  Next week, we will be going for a walk around the Hatch Warren area to look at what human and physical features we can identify and develop the children’s fieldwork skills.  The children will be out exploring for no longer than one hour.  Please keep an eye on the weather forecast for the day and ensure your children has a warm or waterproof coat, as is necessary.

As this is a local walk, we do not require further consent as this is covered under the original consent forms that you have already signed.  If you have any questions about these walks, please do speak to your class teacher.  The walks will take place on the following dates:

 

2BT- Tuesday 12th October 2021

2B- Tuesday 12th October 2021

2R- Wednesday 13th October 2021

 

2R will have PE as usual on Wednesday afternoon but should come in wearing normal school uniform rather than their PE kit. 

We are really looking forward to discovering the beauty outside of our school and will share our learning with you about our Geography, and other aspects of our curriculum, next week. 

Have a lovely weekend! 😊
