It seems like only yesterday I was welcoming you back after Christmas. The children have continued to enjoy their learning this term and have made good progress in all areas of their learning. It has been wonderful to see them all embrace the Diamond Power challenges and develop their independence. Well done everyone! The Ladybirds have finished their Fairy Tale topic this week with some wonderful learning opportunities around the story of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’. I particularly enjoyed playing the part of the goat trip trapping over the bridge in the hall! Hopefully you all received your next set of WOW stickers in your child’s book bag today. We would like to invite the Ladybird parents to a ‘Stay and Play’ session on Monday 27th March at 2pm. During this afternoon you will have time to look through your child’s learning journey and there will be time for you to contribute to this. Woodland Class enjoyed learning about the postal system this week, it was interesting to see how long the letters we had posted took to arrive and the different marks that were printed on the envelopes. The children also enjoyed learning about Safer Internet Day on Tuesday and produced some excellent work to show how they can stay safe online.

The Site lay on the edge of a dispersed Bronze Age barrow cemetery, and a Scheduled Bronze Age bowl barrow (SM 27122) lay within the limits of the Site itself. Following a watching brief undertaken during geotechnical works, an archaeological evaluation was required by the Buckinghamshire County Archaeologist to provide further information regarding the archaeological potential and inform the need for further mitigation measures on the Site. Evaluation trenches were targeted at the two least disturbed areas; to the west and east of a terraced area containing the former Molins Works. Of the twenty-four trial trenches proposed, two could not be opened and a further twelve were repositioned due to the presence of live services (electric, water and gas) on the Site. Within Area 1, at the western extent of the Site, made ground deposits were present which overlay possible redeposited subsoil or topsoil layers.
