Our Makaton Club have been learning all about fruits this week! The children have been practising lots of new signs with enthusiasm and confidence, showing our school values of Wonder, Belief and Joy as they learn new ways to communicate. Can anyone guess what this week's mystery Makaton sign is? Here's a clue... It's a sweet, red fruit with tiny seeds on the outside! Watch the video/photo and leave your guesses in the comments below!

Macmillan Coffee & Cake Morning This Friday 25th September, we would love you to join us for our Coffee and Cake Morning after worship from 9:30am to 10:30am as we come together to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. If you are unable to attend, you can still support this wonderful cause by donating cakes or sweet treats for the event. Children will also be able to purchase cakes from the tuck shop, with all proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer Support. We are also incredibly proud that Emery has chosen this special occasion to donate his hair to the The Little Princess Trust. During the coffee morning, Emery will be having his hair cut as part of his fundraising efforts to help provide real-hair wigs for children and young people who have lost their hair through cancer treatment and other conditions. We hope you will join us in supporting both this inspiring act of kindness and our Macmillan fundraising event. If you would like to support Emery's fundraising journey, donations can be made here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/little-princess-trust-in-memory-of-myla Through Wonder, Belief and Joy, we are encouraging our children to show compassion, courage and generosity as we support these amazing charities and those who benefit from their work.

Wow Bee Award Success! Congratulations to Ashton, who recently claimed Mrs Farr's Wow Bee Award and earned the chance to choose a special prize from the treasure chest! As a talented mathematician, it was an easy decision for Ashton to spend an hour in Year 5/6 Maths with Mr Brown. What a fantastic opportunity to challenge himself and enjoy learning alongside older pupils Ashton received the award after being recognised by both Mrs Woadden and Mrs Farr as an exemplary role model. He consistently demonstrates respectful listening, kindness and our school values every day, showing true Wonder, Belief and Joy in all that he does. We are incredibly proud of him!

Last week, Mrs Farr sent a letter to families highlighting the importance of regular school attendance Good attendance really does make a difference to a child's learning, wellbeing and overall success at school. Every day in school provides valuable opportunities for children to learn, grow in confidence, build friendships and enjoy being part of our school community. We would like to thank all of our families for their continued support and partnership in helping children attend school regularly. Working together through Wonder, Belief and Joy, we can help every child flourish and achieve their very best.

Rabbits Class have began exploring the much-loved story Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter! The children were excited to discover a mysterious sign pointing to Mr McGregor's garden, along with Peter Rabbit and other story treasures hidden around the classroom. Using their fantastic speaking and listening skills, they discussed why Peter was there, where the vegetables had come from and what might happen next. The class then shared the story and generated thoughtful questions for both Peter and Mr McGregor. They showed great confidence and creativity during a hot-seating activity, brilliantly taking on the roles of the characters and answering questions in role. Tomorrow, the children will continue their learning through drama as they re-enact the exciting scene where Peter enters Mr McGregor's garden. We can't wait to see their imagination and storytelling skills shine!

Headteacher's Award Well done to Pippa for her fantastic descriptive writing in English! Inspired by Brambly Hedge: An Autumn Story by Jill Barklem, Pippa used some wonderful adjectives to bring her ideas to life and confidently used the word "and" to join her sentences. Mrs Farr was incredibly impressed and thought her writing was amazing! We are so proud of the effort, enthusiasm and joy Pippa has shown in her learning. #Wonder #Belief #Joy #LAAT #EastRavendale #English #WritingSuccess #PrimarySchoolLife #LearningTogether #ProudMoment
