In Foundation Stage we have been learning about Ramadan and why it is important to some Muslims. It is a time to reflect on being the best person you can be, like being kind and thoughtful. A time to be thankful and to help others. Ramadan begins with the sighting of a new crescent moon. We have been making sun catchers in the shape of lanterns. the lantern represents light guiding the way and in some countries, it is traditional to illuminate the streets at night during the holy month of Ramadan.

Year 6 had a fantastic trip to The Box - what a wonderful local resource! We learnt so much during our Slavery workshop and loved the time exploring the rest of the galleries.

3H are having a fantastic time learning to play the violin. They sound amazing, even though today was only their third lesson.

REMINDER - Our next workshop for parents and carers is tomorrow. All are welcome, we look forward to seeing you there!

This Friday is Red Nose Day. Children can wear funny mufti or any other mufti (including PE kit) with a suggested voluntary donation of £1. We look forward to seeing your outfits!

🎲 Dungeons and Dragons - Scene 2 The spotlight was on The High Society this afternoon; the guild had ventured into the woods three days prior after investigating the strange occurrences at Yellowdale ... but so far, they have found no evidence of mischief. That was until they awoke around their campfire to find a member of their party missing! The Society decided to follow Nisha's footprints and head west - after tracking her steps (and licking some sticks - who knew survival skills could be so entertaining?), Infernus made some keen observations and noticed that they were all being watched. Nisha suddenly started shouting for help! The group quickly dashed through the woodlands and discovered that Nisha had rather foolishly fallen down a trap; sensibly, the society remembered they had rope in their satchel and heaved Nisha to freedom. They are still being watched ... 🤯

The book fair is all set up and ready for the end of the school day today. We have 4 copies of each book. If you do find that a book you want is sold out, let us know and we will order it in for you. Card and cash accepted.

The book fair is open this morning until 8:30am 📚

YEAR 5 PARENTS/CARERS Swimming starts on Monday. Children should wear PE kit on Mondays and normal school uniform (without a tie) on the other days. However, children will not be in trouble if they accidentally wear PE kit on the wrong day - it is a busy few weeks. Have a great weekend and see you on Monday.

** Reminder **MVPS BOOK FAIR is on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week! (11th/12th/13th March) 📚 📖 📕 8:00-8:30am and 3:05-4:00 each day!! Today, all children had a look at the books available to buy. We accept card or cash. The more you spend, the more the school earns back in rewards to spend on books for the school library. 📚 💙 We will have 4 copies of each book available to purchase and take away from the book fair. If the book is sold out, just let a member of staff know at the book fair and we will order it in for you. 😄 Thank you for your continued support. Have a wonderful weekend, Miss Harris.

Hopefully in order 🙏 from Foundation to year 6, here are the winning stories from the whole school writing competition 💙💙💙💙 Well done to all of the children who took part in this wonderful event! ✍️ 🤓
