County Cross Country
A massive well done to Vivaan and Braydie from year 5 who
took part in the county cross country finals. The children
performed exceptionally well against a field of very strong
runners. Braydie placed 60th and Vivaan 73rd.
Non-Uniform Day
Thank you to everyone that donated to our non-uniform
day we raised just over £300 for our Voice in a Million
choir to sing at Wembley on the 18th March.
Year 3/4 Gymnastics
Well done to our year 3 and 4 beginner gymnastics team
who finished 5th in the recent district event. Children had to
complete a set routine of moves on which they were judged.
In the end just 0.8 points separated the 2nd place and 5th
placed team.
Falconry Experience
Children from across KS2 all had the chance to hold a bird of
prey as part of a falconry experience. Wye Valley Falconry
held a workshop for each junior class where the children got
to see a range of birds of prey close up and learned about
the birds and their adaptations which make them suited to
being predators.
Responsible Parking
The school continues to receive complaints from local
residents about parents parking irresponsibly or park-
ing across their driveways preventing them from ac-
cessing their properties. Although we appreciate that
many are parking for short periods of time for drop-off
and collection this does have an impact on local resi-
dents if parking is blocking driveways or obstructing
local roads.
Smoking
A reminder that Forest View Primary School is a non-
smoking site. This means that smoking and vaping are
not permitted anywhere on the school grounds. This
includes in the school carparks and along all site paths.
In line with the latest government advice following the Coronavirus outbreak children across the school have been having
refresher lessons on how to wash their hands properly and how to catch their sneezes. The chance of coming into contact
with the virus in the UK remains low. Nevertheless it is important for all parents to reinforce correct handwashing and
sneezing procedures at home as a deterrent to catching and spreading a whole range of illnesses.
