Followed by a wonderful dance to celebrate! How brave!

To celebrate #Diwali, @lakshmitvi.bsky.social with some helpers retold the story of Diwali, with the triumph of light over darkness! Here are some pictures of the return of Rama and Sita 🕉. @tvi-families.bsky.social @tvinfants.bsky.social @adamdobsontvi.bsky.social

Thank you to the 29 adults who came to our first Cooking Together! 🐍 had a lovely feast before Golden Time. Next week, Cooking Together is with Owls! @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social

Tomorrow, our first Cooking Together starts in Snakes! Would you be able to come along in the morning and help me out? If you can make it, come in with your child and help us make some curry, pasta, sandwiches and salads! @tvinfants.bsky.social

We’ve been busy organising sports-based after-school clubs behind the scenes and either today or tomorrow @tvijames.bsky.social and I will get something out to our KS1 families on ParentMail.

As promised, our first set of clubs (sports) are out on ParentMail - for free. Others will follow during this term, including those with a more academic or enrichment focus. (Some may have a £2 charge). If you’re seeking a provision until 6pm, then 👉🏼 www.premier-education.com/parents/venu...

My postcard came! 📫 Keep an eye out for your letter boxes this week, as Year 2 post their postcards! Learning about our local area and their own address! @tvinfants.bsky.social @lakshmitvi.bsky.social @adamdobsontvi.bsky.social

Thank you to all the adults who came over the last couple of days to discuss their careers! We had a bus driver, a content creator, a zoo keeper, a midwife, a nurse, cyber security, Deputy headteacher and a civil servant! Lots of inspired children! @tvinfants.bsky.social

Today I’ve been hearing children read in Year 2, and will be doing so all week. It’s a good opportunity to double-check in on their progress and to make sure they’re on the correct book band. Our Year 2 are doing well. Please help too by reading with your child each night for 5-10 minutes.

What a lovely Eid Party! Hippos had a wonderful time, with good food, lots of fun and togetherness. Thank you to everyone for coming! @tvinfants.bsky.social

All week in assembly we’ve been reading our favourite books for World Book Day. Tomorrow we ask our children to come dressed up as their favourite storybook characters. We’re doing a special assembly tomorrow about it, led by James!
