Dear parents and Carers,

Welcome back. We hope you all had a wonderful break! The children have returned full of enthusiasm, diving straight into their learning and new topics. 

This week, our assemblies have focused on our Mead Creed—ensuring that all children understand the importance of being READY, RESPECTFUL, and SAFE in everything they do. These core values help us create a positive learning environment where everyone can thrive and succeed.

This half-term is packed with exciting events, including World Book Day, our Science Fair, and some Eggstra special Easter activities to end the term and we cannot wait to share this with you. Please see below for further information about World Book Day.

Unclaimed Coats: Photos of lost coats are attached—if your child is missing one, please email the office to claim it. Any unclaimed coats will be donated to charity by Friday, 7th March.

Lost Water Bottles: Plastic bottles left in the dining room will be disposed of weekly if unclaimed.

Reminder: Please label all clothing and bottles with your child’s first and last name to help us return misplaced items.

We are excited to celebrate World Book Day! Children and staff are invited to dress up as their favourite book character. There will be prizes for the best-dressed child in each year group, and the day will be filled with fun book-themed activities to celebrate the joy of reading!
