Monday 15th November 2026 – Friday 19th November 2026

 

We will be raising awareness with our children over the importance of road safety during this week using lessons across all our classes to emphasis important messages and raise awareness of keeping safe when out and about near our roads.

 

Just a reminder that our Parent Teacher Meetings will take place next week:

📍 In Person

 

📅 Thursday 12th November 2026

If you have not yet booked an appointment, please do so as soon as possible. Parent Teacher Meetings are a valuable opportunity to discuss your child's progress, celebrate successes and talk about next steps in their learning. We look forward to meeting with you.

On Monday 16th November, we will be celebrating Odd Socks Day as part of Anti-Bullying Week.  Children are invited to come to school wearing their brightest and most colourful odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique. Odd Socks Day is a fun way to promote kindness, respect and inclusion, while reminding us that our differences should be celebrated.  There is no need to buy anything new, just wear your odd socks with pride and help us show that everyone belongs at Medstead!

Get ready for a cosy day of reading and fundraising!  On Friday 13th November, our Young Governors will be holding a Pyjama Day and Sponsored Reading Challenge in aid of Children in Need. Children are invited to come to school wearing comfy clothes such as pyjamas, dressing gowns and onesies and will take part in a range of fun reading activities during the day.  Money raised will be shared between Children in Need and projects to improve our school. This year, the Young Governors have chosen to focus on enhancing outdoor play and learning by purchasing new play equipment and improving the organisation of our PE and play sheds.  We hope everyone will join in, get reading and help make a difference!
