Wrens and Puffins news
Wrens and Puffins have been busy finding out about Spring, new life, farms and spring celebrations. We have enjoyed using our outdoor area, spotting lots of spring flowers and even some spring sunshine!
We have had lots of fun taking part in our Wild West drama workshop led by Perform. We followed the instructions, remembered the moves and successfully found the 'horse with the golden mane!'

We had a really lovely time at our first reading café! We loved choosing and sharing books with our adults whilst eating the delicious biscuits and healthy snacks on offer too!

Here at Burpham, we follow the 'Essential Letters and Sounds programme' for our daily phonics lessons.
Please use the resources below to see how you can support your child at home with their phonics at home.

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.
