Happy New Year
Welcome back to the new spring term.
I hope you have all enjoyed a very happy and healthy break. The children have been excited to share news about their holidays and are eager to take on the challenges that a new term brings.
We all look forward to continuing a positive partnership with you all to encourage your children to achieve their full potential.

Arts Week
Week beginning 22nd January we will be enjoying our annual Arts week. This year we are celebrating diversity at Fern Hill. Each year group has been given a continent and will choose a country within that continent to learn about during the week. There will be a focus on art and various art skills. We look forward to seeing the fantastic artwork that will be produced throughout the school.
Our open evenings to view the wonderful artwork on display will be on 7th & 8th February 3.45-5pm.
Year 5 School Journey
A letter has been sent home requesting the 3rd and final payment for this trip which needs to be made by Friday 9th February please.
The letter is attached below for your reference.
Cold Weather Plan
A reminder of what to do if we experience extreme weather on a school day:
- You will receive a ParentMail message from school of school closure
- Check the school website. The homepage will display a banner of urgent news
- Tune in to Radio Jackie - they broadcast any local school closures
Uniform Reminders
Can we please remind you that jewellery is not permitted in school. This includes all types of earrings. Children will be asked to remove jewellery if it is worn to school.
We have also noticed that some of our children are wearing nail varnish, this is not part of school uniform and we request that it is removed before coming to school.
Thank you.
