KS1 Presentation of Learning Invitation

2nd October 2025Laura Parsons

This term, our Year 1 and Year 2 children are going on an incredible learning journey through our Autumn expedition, Not All Heroes Wear Capes, guided by the big question: How can I be a superhero where I live?

From creating their own superheroes inspired by Supertato, to marching for justice after studying Let the Children March, to meeting real-life heroes from our community, the children will explore what it truly means to show courage, compassion, and kindness.

We would love to invite you to join us for our Presentation of Learning:

  • Tuesday 2nd December
  • 3:00pm – 5:00pm
  • School Hall

You don’t need to stay for the whole time — please feel free to drop in at a time that’s convenient for you between 3:00pm and 5:00pm.

This special event will take the form of a museum-style gallery walk, where you’ll be able to see:
– The children’s artwork and writing
– Photographs and memories from expert visitors
– Pop-art placards from our peaceful march
– Reflections, pledges, and our very own expedition book
– Introduce some of the real-life heroes they have met, who will be joining us to help demonstrate their skills

It’s really important that the children come along too, as they will be your tour guides — explaining their learning, sharing their work, and showing off everything they have achieved.

Friends of Norton Campus Association will also be supporting us by selling refreshments during the event — so you can enjoy a drink and a treat as you explore the children’s fantastic work.

This is a celebration of your children’s hard work, character, and creativity — and a chance to see how they have discovered that not all heroes wear capes… sometimes they live right here in our community.

We can’t wait to share this with you!

‼️World Book Day Reminder ‼️

1st March 2023Laura Parsons

We are celebrating World Book Day on FRIDAY 3RD MARCH not tomorrow.

If children would like to dress up on FRIDAY – they are very welcome to do so. However, we would like to stress there is no obligation for anyone to go out and spend money on costumes. If children choose not to dress up they are welcome to come in their own clothes or pyjamas ready for a ‘bedtime’ story!

We are looking forward to celebrating all things book related together.

On the look out for an expert …

22nd November 2022Laura Parsons

Our next expedition in KS1 is going to be all about keeping ourselves healthy. We are going to be thinking about:

  • Keeping our bodies healthy (exercise, looking after our mental health, eating healthily etc)
  • Growing food (gardening, planting and growing our own vegetables and herbs)
  • Cooking (preparing and making our own simple recipes)
  • Supporting local food banks and soup kitchens.

As always, we are on the lookout for some experts to come and speak to the children. If you or someone you know thinks you could help us out, please let me know.

It would be greatly appreciated.

Dress Up Day – Immersion Week

As part of our immersion week, we are asking the children to come to school on Friday 9th September dressed as someone who may have lived or worked in a castle – people like servants, kings and queens, princesses, court jesters, knights etc

Please don’t feel you need to spend lots of money on these at short notice, it may be a costume you already have at home, a mask you can print and make from the internet or there are lots of crafty ideas online too. As part of our immersion week we will be making crowns etc also, so every child will be involved.

On this day, we will be doing lots of fun activities relating to our new expedition – we will make sure we share lots of photographs and videos so that you can see what we get up to.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Welcome Back

23rd August 2022Laura Parsons

Good Morning everyone,

It’s one week until we get to open our doors and welcome you all back – we are really looking forward to it. We just wanted to clarify a few things to put your minds at rest.

Nursery parents – you have all already received a letter confirming your start dates and times as these days are slightly different to the rest of main school.

Reception and Key Stage One – you are starting back on Tuesday 30th August, for full days – our doors will be open at 8.40 until 8.50 – we will have staff around the first few days to point you in the right direction if you’re not sure (if you arrive after this time you will enter through the main entrance and will receive a late mark). The school day ends at 3.20 and you collect your child from the same door which you dropped them off.

Children will need to bring a clearly labelled water bottle, also could we please ask that jumpers are labelled too. Anything else they need, we will provide.

Finally, PE days will be confirmed by your class teacher during the first few days and you will be added to your new class dojo pages too during that first week.

We hope you’ve all had a lovely summer and are looking forward to coming back.
