KS1 Autumn 2025 Newsletter.

26th August 2025Stuart Longley

Welcome to Key Stage 1 for the Autumn term.

Below is some information about our autumn expedition – Not All Heroes Wear Capes. Page 1 contains an overview of the learning children will take part in and the home learning menu. Children can earn crew coins for any home learning completed.

We would be very grateful if anyone would visit the children as an expert to talk about being a community hero. This could be firefighters, police officers, NHS staff, or community volunteers. The children would love to hear from real-life heroes to make their learning even better!

Page 2 also has details of key dates for the autumn term.

Year 2 will normally have PE on Tuesdays and Year 1 on Thursdays. We will endeavour to notify you of changes where possible.

From Week 3, book bags will be sent home on Mondays and should be returned to school on Fridays.

A few gentle reminders to assist the team in school:

  • Please ensure all clothing is clearly labelled
  • Children should bring water bottles with water or squash in.
  • Stud earrings are permitted, but children must be able to remove these independently for PE.

KS1 Hero Day

31st August 2025Mr Pickering

Just a quick reminder following the letter that was sent home at the end of last year, that Monday (1st Setember) will be the Key Stage 1 hero dress up day. Your child can come dressed as any hero they want. It could be a story/film-based character or someone who is a real-life hero. It could be a parent, a neighbour, a Doctor, a Firefighter etc. Please don’t feel the need to spend money – many heroes wear normal ‘everyday’ clothes. We can’t wait to see your ideas!

Information regarding London 2025

8th May 2025Miss Blackham

We are asking children to be in school on Thursday 3rd July at 7am for a prompt departure at 7:30am.

Children are required to provide a packed lunch on day one which will be eaten when we stop off at the services.

We aim to arrive in London at approximately 12 o’clock and this is when we will embark on our river Thames cruise. At approximately 5pm, children will go for their tea at Pizza Express (they have already pre ordered their meals). After their meal, they will go to the theatre to watch back to the future the musical. Children are welcome to bring an additional drink and one bag of sweets/bar of chocolate for the show. We will then head back to the hotel and aim to arrive at 11:30pm.

The following day, children will head to the all you can eat breakfast before departing to Legoland at 10am. They will then spend the day there, have McDonalds for their dinner (funded as their end of year treat) and will then set off home. We expect to be back for 7pm but you will be communicated via text with updates.

As always, photos and updates will be blogged throughout the trip and shared on our school Facebook page.

Unfortunately, children are unable to take phones or spending money.

If your child requires medicine whilst they are away, these must be taken to the Mrs Carter and you must sign a medical form so it can be legally adminsitrated.

I would advise children taking conformable shoes, a water bottle, a sunhat, possibly a coat incase it rains and comfortable clothing.

If you have any further questions, please pop me an email.

Thank you for your continued support.
