First Day of School for a Wonderful New Kingfishers!!!

Today we welcomed our new Kingfisher class to school for the first time. They all came in looking smart in their new uniforms and fresh faced. We had smiley faces from the start of the day to the end. The teachers were really impressed with how amazing they all did for their first day. Mrs Hughes was very proud of all the children.

Today we learnt new rules and routines, and we also got to know our classmates. The children introduced themselves during a circle time. They were so brave and confident! They also did really good listening. 

Take a look at some of the activities we had out today.

I look forward to seeing our wonderful Kingfishers tomorrow.

School Applications Open

We thought it would be useful to remind you of the key dates for applying for a school place next year. Getting your application in on time gives your child the best chance of being offered their preferred school. Online applications are accepted from 06 September 2021 for Year R, 3 and 7 school places to start in September 2022. Online applications close on 31 October 2021 for secondary school year 7; on 15 January 2022 for reception year R. We recommend getting your application in as early as possible and keeping a record of it just in case! You will need to register with the Citizen Portal to complete the online application.

This information can be accessed via the City’s School Admissions website: https://www.southampton.gov.uk/schools-learning/find-school/apply-school/

Classroom Gardens

We thought we'd share a few pictures of the children's gardening efforts which, excuse the pun, are continuing to bear fruit (vegetables, actually!) and certainly enjoying the wet weather. These include sweetcorn , courgettes, runner beans and pumpkins!
