Interesting Word of the Week
Each week there will be an interesting, useful but unusual word for the community to get to
know. We will select a word and provide a definition for it. Pupils will be asked by Miss Lewis
and Mr Procter in Friday's assembly what the word is and what it means. They will ask them to
put the word into a sentence to show they have understood the meaning. This is to help build
up pupils vocabulary through the year.
This week’s word is:
Conducive
Definition:
1. Making a certain situation or outcome likely or possible. 2. Tending to produce; helpful; favourable.
Nursery News

Water is Cool in School
We are all aware of the health benefits of drinking water, for both children and
adults. Research also indicates that drinking water regularly will help the brain
to function more efficiently. Whilst we do have a drinking fountain, we think the
best way to encourage and enable children to drink more water at school is to
bring water to class. As a healthy school, water bottles should only contain
water and not flavoured water, squash, juice or sugary drinks.
Children may bring water only in a clear plastic bottle.
Children must be able to manage the top themselves.
The container needs to be clearly labelled with your child‟s name.
Please do not put the container in the book bags as water leakage spoils books.
Each class has a plastic box or tray for the water bottle to be kept in and
bottles should be taken home daily to be refilled with water.
SAINSBURY’S ACTIVE KID’S VOUCHERS
We are collecting Sainsbury vouchers from 25th
January to 2nd May. Please donate them to the
school office to help us get some equipment for
the school and nursery.
Thank you.
Please see below the list of After School Clubs that we are offering for Term 4.
In-house clubs will start the week commencing 27th February.
If you wish your child(ren) to apply for any of the clubs please complete the attached form(s) and
