He visited each classroom to see all of the children. We'll be sharing more photos and our final total later today. THANK YOU for all of your donations so far!

💛BBC Children in Need💛 A reminder that we are supporting BBC Children in Need tomorrow (Friday) by holding a non-uniform day. Children are welcome to come to school in general non-uniform but yellow, spots, Pudsey ears and accessories, Pudsey t-shirt / onesies etc are also welcome. Please just make sure the children are warm enough and clothing is suitable for a day in school We ask that everyone brings in a 50p cash (or more if you want to!) donation for the charity. This should be given to the class teacher for us to add to our total. Wear your spots and let's raise lots!! 💛

Remembrance Day 11th November At 11am today, our school community will come together to mark Remembrance Day. All pupils will observe a two-minute silence as a mark of respect, taking time to reflect on and remember all those who have served, sacrificed and lost their lives in conflicts past and present. "At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them." Today, Firside remembers.

Year 3 Family Learning Afternoon What a lovely afternoon we had welcoming our Year 3 families into school for our recent Family Learning event! The children and their family members got creative together, making their very own woolly mammoths from milk and juice bottles! 🦣 This was a fantastic way to bring our Stone Age history learning to life, with lots of imagination, creativity and fun along the way. A huge thank you to all the families who came along, joined in and shared this special afternoon with us. It was wonderful to see everyone learning, creating and enjoying time together. We loved having you in school and look forward to our next Family Learning afternoon! 😊 #DREAM
