November 2024
Welcome back to our new half term.
With the darker evenings, we will be taking part in Road Safety activities across school.
Being visible to other road users is important all year round, whether walking, cycling, scooting or wheeling. However, it is especially important during the autumn and winter months when days are shorter and evenings longer.
We can improve our visibility and help drivers and other road users see us by wearing light, bright and fluorescent clothing or accessories in the day, and reflective clothing or accessories in the evening. If cycling, we must make sure our bicycles have a working white front light, and red back light.
A simple message is to help us remember this is ‘Be Bright Be Seen’.
- Termly Learning Conferences TLC information letter plus TLC and assessment leaflets are available on the letters page, school website. Please ensure you have booked an appointment.
- Our school council have decided they would like to have a non uniform day for Children in Need on 15th November. We can wear yellow or spotty clothing! All donations will be sent to the Children In Need Charity.

Our ABA team lead the learning across school for Antibullying and Odd Socks Day. They spoke clearly and with confidence to share how we should choose respect. It was great to see so many of us wearing odd socks! Learning took place in classrooms afterwards. Nursery made a friendship heart! Sing along with Andy and the Odd Socks!
