Newsletter No 6 February 2020
Dear Parents, Governors and Friends,
The children have continued to work hard this term and are
hopefully on track to achieve the challenging targets that they have been set. I hope that you will
find Parents Evening useful; your support as always is crucial. The difference you make when you
support your child with reading and homework is always noticeable in school and I cannot stress
enough how much staff appreciate this.

Contact Details
It is vitally important that we have the correct contact details for parents/carers and also an
emergency contact in case you are not available. Please let Mrs Fung in the School Office know if
you have changed your phone number or e-mail address.
Indoor Football Tournament at the Bourne Community College, Monday 28 January
We had a very enjoyable evening with all the boys showing great determination. Some of our
players just need to learn to go for accuracy when shooting not power. This is something we will
work on. Overall the team played extremely well only conceding one goal.

Play and Share – Owl Classes
I would like to say a big thank you to all the parents who made it to the ‘Play and Share’ session.
Showing an interest in what your child is learning is so important and makes such a difference to
how they view learning and how they approach school work. It is not called Foundation Stage for
nothing; if you build strong foundations the rest of school should go well.

Clown Day – Osprey Class – A picture paints a thousand words!
Kestrel Class and Harrier Class visit St Nicholas Church on Thorney Island
I would like to thank the Padre for giving up his time to talk to the children all about the
importance of baptism.
Merlin Class visit Dell Quay
Merlin Class had an excellent Day at Dell Quay working with Chichester Harbour Conservancy to
use the natural environment as a starting point for art work. The rain held off for most of the day
which made the day even better! The children produced some excellent pieces of work and their
behaviour was outstanding. I would like to thank all the parents who helped with the visit as
without your support we would not be able to do such things.

Falcon Class visit to Gilbert White’s House
Indoor Netball Tournament at the Bourne Monday 3 February
The team played extremely well winning all of their games. Miss Goss was very proud of them and I
know that some of these players, along with new ones, will be playing next week at the Bourne. I do
hope that they do as well then and that we remember to take the camera so we can have a picture
of the team! Again thank you to all those parents who drove as without your support events like
this would not be possible.
