• Visit from local author

  Thu 24 Oct 2024

  We had a visit from a local author this week. Toby Glover read his books to all our children. My favourite quote from the day was from a boy in Year 2. I was sitting in the lunch hall and he shouted excitedly at me, “Mrs Clougher we’ve seen a real life author today!” He then proceeded to retell of the stories he’d been told that morning!

  

• Spooky Disco

  Thu 24 Oct 2024

  A huge thank you to our brilliant PTFA for organising such a great Spooky Disco last night and to all the parents and staff who volunteered their time to help out on the night.

  Some of our children looked pretty terrifying!

  

• #HelloYellow Young Minds

  Wed 16 Oct 2024

  At Grange, KINDNESS and RESPECT underpin everything we do and the way we interact with each other. These values help us to foster a welcoming environment where children feel safe and proud to be themselves. They also help us to build positive relationships with each other which are crucial for emotional well-being.

  Today we focussed on our own mental health and ways of coping with tricky emotions. We also talked about things we could do when we were happy or calm and how to be kind and supportive to others.

  A huge thankyou to Mrs Tingle for organising this day and to raise the importance of looking after our own mental health.

  

• Update on the Bungalow!

  Mon 07 Oct 2024

  Earlier this week, I asked the PTFA if they could raise £10,000 towards the cost of renovating the old caretaker’s bungalow at the front of school. This money will go towards the actual building work. There will be an activity room, kitchen, sensory room and a library. 

  

• Reception Speed Curriculum

  Mon 07 Oct 2024

  Thank you to everyone who attended our Speed Curriculum to find out about phonics and early reading, fine motor skills, maths, Forest School and OPAL. We hope you found out how we teach your child these important skills at school and how you can support your child at home. If you couldn’t attend, a sheet will be coming home at the end of the week with all of the key information on it.
