Parking Issues/Concerns raised

Concerns have been raised about the parents parking arrangements before and after school. Please can we request that the layby/road outside school is used sensibly.

It has been noted that:

  • cars are sticking out into the road
  • excessive gaps being left between cars which could accommodate another vehicle
  • cars parking both sides on the approach to the village hall car park, restricting view for residents and other parents leaving the area
  • speed of parents approaching school, and surrounding areas.

We are able to use the Village Hall car park and our staggered leave times at the end of the day should help to ease the volume of parents in the area at any one time.

Please support us and help us to keep everyone safe.

Road Safety in Rhino Class

Rhino class had the pleasure of spending the morning with a lovely gentleman called Ray Hughes, who taught the children all about road safety.

The children learnt so much and we even walked around the village to put into practise what they had learnt. The children were so sensible and a real credit to the school.

Rhino Home Learning – Thursday 4.3.21

It’s World Book Day, so today is going to be off our normal timetable so we can all have a bit of fun…. I really hope you have a great day.

Thank you to all of you that sent in your video and your clues. I’ve put a short video together for you to watch, so listen and watch very carefully. It’s not easy to guess, as you have all disguised your voices so well and your masks are brilliant.

I have also put together an answer sheet containing a picture of each masked reader and 3 clues linked to their true identity. Can you guess who each masked reader is?

The Masked Reader Clue Sheet

I will be hosting a zoom on Friday afternoon (1.15pm) to reveal who each masked reader is. For the meeting, have your masks ready to share so you can all reveal who you were. Have your guess sheet handy as well to see how many masked readers you got correct.

Today’s Task:

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to David Walliams talk about his book during the live assembly on Tuesday, which gave me an idea for a task for today.

One of the books he spoke about was called ‘Fing’

The story is about a girl called Myrtle Meek, who has everything…

But everything isn’t enough. She wants more, more, MORE! When Myrtle declares she wants a FING, there’s only one problem… What is a FING?

Mr and Mrs Meek will do anything to keep their darling daughter happy, even visit the spooky library vaults to delve into the dusty pages of the mysterious Monsterpedia. Their desperate quest leads to the depths of the jungliest jungle where the rarest creatures can be found. But will they ever find a FING?

Your task today is to design your very own ‘Fing’

Think about:

  • What does it look like?
  • How does it behave?
  • How would you look after it?
  • What is the best and worst thing about it?
  • What does it eat?
  • Where does it live?
  • What are some unusual facts about it?

Create a ‘double page spread’ for your ‘Fing’ giving as much information about it as possible.

Write a set of instructions for how to look after it as pet. Remember to include a warning if needed!

I really look forward to seeing what you create and it would be great to share these next week in class.

Have a great day
