Pilgrims’ Way News

Dear Parents and Carers

As we end another busy term, I have been reflecting on some of the amazing opportunities the children have had this term. From taking part (and winning) football matches, getting to know a range of ‘Beasts n Bugs’ in their Friday club with children learning about Guinea Pigs and tarantulas (some very brave children attend the club!!), learning to fence or play dodgeball, welcoming lots of visitors and new families into our school and so much more.

My particular thanks to Oliver and Sohanna for showing visitors around the school, explaining our values, curriculum and being excellent role models. I also would like to thank Connor for supporting Anna and Coco (our Therapy dog) when they visit us to help with children’s reading.

I am delighted to welcome our new Teaching Assistant, Mr Brunton, into our KS1 Team.

We are also saying ‘au revoir’ to Miss Walsh who will be leaving us to start her maternity leave. We all wish her well and are excited to meet her new baby very soon.

I wish you all a happy, safe and fun filled break and will see you back in school on Monday 24 February.

Warm regards

Miss AM Middleton Headteacher

Football News Despite the poor weather conditions both teams played fantastically. Pilgrims’ Way scored an early goal in the second half. With few minutes remaining Warden House scored for end result of 1-1. Well done boys!

School Car Park

Parents should not be entering the school car park (this includes taxis) at any time or parking in front of the school gates– this includes drop off at breakfast time and collection from after school clubs. In doing so you are helping to keep all our children safe.

Advance Notice of World Book Day

This year our theme is 'Around the World in 80 Tales'. Your children will be studying stories from around the world, so we would like to invite them to dress up as an explorer/adventurer on Friday 6th

March. (Please note that this is the day after the official 'World Book Day' )

Reminder

Please could we remind parents/carers that no dogs should be brought onto the school site at any time, even if they are bring carried. Thank you.

Last Tuesday, Rabbit class went to Canterbury library.

The children were a credit to our school and loved looking at all the books.

Thank you, Miss Annecchiarico (Rabbit Class Teacher)

Owl Experience

On Thursday 27th February, Owl Talk will be visiting Pilgrims’ Way to talk to children about conservation, adaptation, flight, feeding and many more subjects. The talk will be followed by a flying display and then the children will have a photo taken with one of the owls. When the proofs arrive, they will be sent home with information on how to make an order Please feel free to check out their website (www.owltalk.co.uk) which has some information on the type of owls they will bring along on the day. We hope your child enjoys the day and you like the pictures, Please let us know if there is any reason why your child should not take part in this.
