Nursery/Reception Book Fair Update

Book Fair Update – 28.2.22
Dear all
This week, we arranged to host a Scholastic book fair. Unfortunately, we have been let down and have been sent an extremely limited number of books to sell. We are so disappointed that the children won’t get the typical book fair experience and unfortunately, we are going to have to cancel our morning book fairs for Nursery and Reception parents. 
However, we would still like to give pupils the chance to browse the selection on offer as every book sold will raise money for us to purchase books for school. If there is a book your child likes the look of, they may come home with a ‘wishlist’ which you can use to pay for the book online, if you wish to order it. Please return all wishlists back to school, so we can submit the order on your behalf. 
Thank you for your support.

If you are attending the 11:10 or 3:05 events, then we ask you to collect your other children at their normal time.

The children will be in their classes as shown below. Please stand opposite your child’s class. You will then be able to take your child after they have sung.

If no one is there for your child, then they will return into school and will leave at their normal time.

Mortimer Primary Great Easter Egg Eggstravaganza 2019

By A Stelling22nd March 2019

Every child from reception to Y6 will have the opportunity to take part in our annual egg competition. Eggs will be designed and made in school.

  • Children will design and make the eggs during school time.
  • It is strictly one egg per design – although children may wish to bring a spare egg in case of accidents or ‘redrafting’.
  • As we have so many children in the school we are sadly unable to allow backgrounds for the designs. (The judging will be on the egg not the holder.)
  • Children will be given a holder for their egg design.
  • All eggs will be will be displayed at the Easter Fayre on Tuesday 2nd April and Wednesday 3rd April 2019.
  • Children will have access to a wide variety of art resources in school, but if they do need something very specific they may wish to bring it with them. Please note that although ‘extras’ can be brought the majority of the egg and attachments should be made in school.

This is a fun activity, which the children thoroughly enjoy. Thank you for your support.

Here are instructions for each particular year group: –

Nursery –

No eggs needed.

Reception and Year 1

Please bring a hard boiled egg for Monday 1st April.

Year 2 – Year 5 

All children require a hard boiled egg for Monday 1st April. Although we ask for nothing to be made at home, children may paint the egg one colour (a base colour) before bringing to school.

Year 6 – All children to bring a hard-boiled egg Friday 29th March. Although we ask for nothing to be made at home, children may paint the egg one colour (a base colour) before bringing to school.

Thank you for your continued support.

An exciting delivery for nursery

By A Stelling2nd October 2017

There was a very exciting delivery in nursery last week with the introduction of three new iPads. Children used them to enhance their topic on fairy tales and were able to listen to stories and play a three little pig game.

Staff and children talked about how to use our IPads/digital devices safely at home and at nursery.

We have had lots of exciting changes, including the start of our 30 hour free child places. (See if you can spot our new outdoor waterproof suits!)
