Diary Dates

Another busy week at Mead!

As you are probably aware there is lots going on. The area in the front playground, at present being dug up, is being prepared for the installation of an outside Gym area for our KS2 children.

The EYFS sandpit is finished and the children now have, tubes to climb through/under, a performance stage and a slide. The floor of the forest area has now been covered with wood chip, so making it more accessible for the children, and within the next few months we will have a mud kitchen and a tree house installed.

Diary Dates
On Monday the installation of the gym equipment starts - we hope for it to be ready by Thursday! 

Tuesday sees the headlice advice session for parents led by Cathy Forrester (our school Nurse).

On Thursday evening we have the Y5&6 Mens’ Night for our significant men to have the chance to hear the puberty talk given by the Nurse to the Mums and Daughters. Rev Rich will be leading this event at Broadford.

On Thursday and Friday some of our year 1/2 pupils will have the opportunity to take part in cycle skills sessions. Hopefully this will improve confidence and by the end of the sessions they will be able to ride their bikes without stabilisers. In addition we have our first Bike Club session running on Thursday which will give our older pupils the chance to consolidate and apply their Bikeability Skills.

On Friday Year 4 children have got a Roman Workshop day. An opportunity to go back in time and experience life as a Roman soldier. There is no requirement to dress up, so children are to wear school uniform as usual.

Following their informative Viking day year 5 children will be baking Viking bread! An opportunity to sample food from the Viking era, however they won’t be washing it down with mead or beer (typical Viking drinks for both adults AND children!)

School Nurse - Headlice Talk & Advice for EYFS/KS1 Parents/Carers: Tuesday 27th @ 2.30pmWe are delighted to welcome our School Nurse Cathy back to talk to parents about headlice and how they can help to prevent/treat them effectively. Please come to the main entrance to be shown to the hall.
