Comic Relief - Red Nose Day 18.03.2022
Tue 15 Mar 2022
This year sees the return of Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day!
Red Nose Day is about using the power of fun to bring serious change to people living incredibly tough lives in the UK and around the world. On Friday 18th March, we are going to make South View Federation all shades of red! Please come dressed in as much red as possible for a donation of 50p.
The good news is that the South View Federation jumper is already red so this could be part of your outfit. We will also be doing some sporting challenges, in school during the day, so please can you ensure your child is wearing trainers or appropriate footwear. We also ask that the children do not bring in their red noses but any other Comic Relief merchandise is welcome.
Thank you all for your support and we cannot wait to see how red you can be!

British Science Week 14th - 18th March
Mon 14 Mar 2022British Science Week 2022
This week (14th-18th March) is British Science Week, a celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths. This year’s science week theme is ‘Growth’ and we will be following this theme by exploring stories about growth in different forms, taking part in investigations and learning from expert scientists.
As well as celebrating Science Week through activities at school, we are holding a competition for you to enjoy as a family at home. We would like you to create a poster or plan an investigation on the theme of ‘Growth.’ For example, this could be a record of a plant you are growing, an art project about the life cycle of an animal, or perhaps a photography project showing growth in the local area. You can bring your completed project into school, or if you prefer, you can use our online platforms to upload your work. (Year R – Tapestry, KS1 Purple Mash, KS2 Seesaw). Please hand in your completed project by Tuesday the 5th April 2022. Prizes will be awarded for the most creative projects.
We look forward to seeing your entries!

World Book Day 2022
Fri 04 Mar 2022Dear Parents/Carers,
This year, World Book Day falls on Thursday 3rd March. However, across The South View Federation, we will be celebrating on Friday 4th March. World Book Day is a day set aside every year to celebrate reading, books, authors and illustrators. World Book Day celebrates the joy and value of books and reading, especially for children. To help get them started on their reading journey, every child receives a £1 World Book Day Book Token that can either be exchanged for one of the ten special £1 World Book Day books or used to get £1 off any book costing £2.99 or more. You can find out more about the books and ideas on how to share books at home at worldbookday.com/books. The books will be available to buy from Thursday 17th February.
On Friday 4th March, we are giving children the opportunity to dress up as a word of their choice as this will be linking to the book that we will be looking at across the federation. The word could be an adjective like black, stripy or adventurous or you could come dressed as a noun like a pirate or a witch. There will be prizes for the best thought out word!
Reading for pleasure is so important and to celebrate that, we are also giving the children an opportunity to take part in ‘Book Bingo’. On Thursday 17th February, your child will be given their ‘Book Bingo’ card. They will have until World Book Day on Friday 4th March to complete either a line or the whole board! They need to write the title of the book on each square as they’re completed. There will be certificates for the winners!
We look forward to seeing everyone dressed as words and taking part in a selection of exciting reading activities.
Kind regards,
Miss Sheldon & Mrs Flynn
