Wrens and Puffins news

Wrens and Puffins have been enjoying the spring sunshine and spending time in our outdoor area. We have been busy taking care of our spring flowers and vegetables.

Chatty Cafe! March 10th 

Thank you to all who were able to attend our recent Chatty Cafe. The afternoon was planned to share some of the huge work that we are doing at Burpham around Oracy. 

The children had a wonderful time and there were many smiles around the room -and lots of lovely CHAT of course!

CEOP website supporting online safety through an interactive game

The new interactive website encourages 4-7s to engage safely online by helping them to recognise worrying, upsetting or scary situations and reinforcing the key message that they should ‘Tell A Grown Up’ in these instances.

The website is divided into sections for 4-5 and 6-7 year olds and features relevant and age-appropriate games for the chosen age bracket. Each game focuses on one of four topics:

  • watching videos
  • chatting online
  • sharing pictures
  • gaming online
The Jessie & Friends episodes are also available to watch on the new website to enhance understanding.

In the event of school closure: 

On rare occasions, it may be necessary to close the school. This may be due to adverse weather conditions or perhaps when essential school services cannot be provided –e.g. heating, plumbing or water.  

Please refer to the School’s Bad Weather Policy on our website for information regarding how we communicate a school closure. 

Class teachers will then initiate home school learning activities, and these will be available to children by 10am of the same morning.
