Sun Safety Reminder As the weather becomes warmer, we would like to remind families of the steps we take at school to keep our children safe in the sun and how you can help. Please apply sun cream before school, especially on very warm days. Children may bring a labelled rollon sun cream for selfapplication. These are kept by class teachers and are not shared. Please send your child to school with a named water bottle every day. Encourage children to wear a sun hat or cap and appropriate clothing during warm weather. At school, children are encouraged to drink water regularly, use shaded areas sensibly and develop a good understanding of staying safe in the sun. Thank you for your continued support in keeping our children safe and healthy

Polite Reminder We've had several late arrivals this morning and would like to gently remind everyone of the importance of arriving at school on time. Being punctual helps children settle into the day calmly, take part in morning learning and start their day positively alongside their peers. A reminder that our school doors close at 8:55am each morning. Thank you for your continued support in ensuring children are in school on time each morning. We really appreciate your cooperation.

Although St George's Day fell on Thursday, we wanted to take the opportunity to wish all our Temple Meadow families a happy St George's Day and hope you've enjoyed, or are enjoying, a lovely weekend together.

The children have loved watching them explore their surroundings, listening to their gentle cheeps and observing how quickly they are changing It's been been a truly memorable handson learning opportunity for Year 2 and we're so proud of how engaged and caring the children have been.

Forest School Stay and Play – What a Lovely Morning! Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome our Reception Carle families to our Forest School Stay and Play session. It was wonderful to see children sharing their learning environment with their families and showing just how confident, curious and adventurous they are outdoors. Together, children and adults thoroughly enjoyed exploring Forest School, taking part in activities such as hide and seek, tyre rolling, climbing the tree, using the rope swing, digging in the pit, and mark-making with a variety of tools. Some parents even got competitively involved in den building! Thank you to all the families who joined us and helped make the session such a positive and memorable experience. We loved seeing the smiles, teamwork and enthusiasm throughout the morning! We look forward to welcoming more families to our upcoming Reception Murphy Forest School Stay and Play session.
