Dear Parents and Carers,

As we come to the end of another exciting  and productive half-term, I would like to thank the staff team for everything they do to make The Mead the fabulous school that it is. Lots of creative and engaging learning has taken place which everyone has enjoyed. The children as usual continue to work hard and make us proud every day. 

Thank you for your ongoing support.  We wish you a happy and safe half-term and look forward to seeing you all back at school on Monday 5th June.

Kindest regards

Mrs Creasey                                                             

                                    Attendance 

Whole School Attendance currently stands at 94.3 %. 

Attendance is strongly linked to how well pupils achieve; for this reason, the attendance of all pupils is closely monitored.

If we are concerned about your child's attendance, in the first instance we will send you a letter highlighting this to you. 

Please remember that holidays are not authorised during term time, and you may be liable for a fine if the absence is 5 days or more with in a 3-month period.

The days do not need to be consecutive.

         Collaboration and Recreation in Year 1 

Year 1 have been exploring the work of the famous artist named Vincent Van Gogh. They admired his swirly, thick and bold brushstrokes used in his paintings. They learned about the meaning of the word ‘recreate’. They looked at other recreations of Van Gogh’s work and decided they wanted to have a go themselves! Each of them painted a section of the Starry Night sky. They put it all together and realised they had forgotten the buildings and trees in the foreground.  So they used mixed media to create the buildings and trees. They had  great fun working as a team!
