Year 2—Great Fire of London We have had a great half term learning all about The Great Fire of London. Samuel Pepys paid us a visit and spent the afternoon telling us what is was like to be there and how events unfolded during the fire - some of us got to dress up! Thank you to those of you who made such fantastic buckets for us to test; we had a great afternoon filling our buckets with water and seeing if they were waterproof.

Junior Stars of the Week
Year 6 The Living Rainforest On Tuesday 11th October Year six children went to the Living Rainforest in Newbury as part of their creative curriculum topic. They explored concepts such as sustainability, rainforest medicine, animal adaptation and foods produced and exported from the rainforests. The children were a credit to our school and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. They were even lucky enough to have the sloth (Cinnamon) come down from his tree so that they could watch him be fed!
Be Bright Day On Thursday 20th October the Federation took part in the Be Bright Be Seen campaign. The purpose of the day was to highlight to everyone the importance of using reflecting clothing and gadgets to make themselves more visible to drivers and therefore safer on the roads.
Registration Times We would like to remind all our parents that the doors open at 8:40am at the Juniors and 8:45am at the Infants. Registers and school dinner orders are taken promptly so please make sure your child is in school at this time. If you arrive at school after 9am please come to the school office to sign your child in late.
