Foxes
Welcome back to a new school year! I hope you all had a fantastic summer and I am so excited to be welcoming you back to Sigglesthorne for a very exciting year ahead. This year, we shall continue to raise the profile of attendance and the children will receive a golden ticket for five consecutive days in school. We have some wonderful prizes up for grabs. We also have some exciting enrichment days this term- more details to follow.
Please find below a link to our Autumn Term newsletter which provides information on routines we follow in class and how you can support your child with Reading, Maths, Spellings, and key information on PE, Forest Schools, Homework and Communication with Parents.

Welcome Chester – our School Dog
From time to time Chester our School Dog visits the school to work with the children. full risk assessment has been completed which will be available on our website. Chester is nearly 2 years old, a labradoodle (hypoallergenic) and belongs to myself (Mrs Owens).
There has been extensive research about the many benefits that can be seen by having a school dog.
- Dogs teach children about responsibility – by children having to remember to feed and give water to the dog it can give them a sense of importance and satisfaction that they may not get from other responsibilities.
- Dogs teach children patience – they do not always do as they are told first time!
- Dogs teach children compassion – just like us dogs feel pain and emotion.
- Dogs teach children about socialisation – by the children learning how to interact with a dog they can better learn how to socialise with other children.
- Dogs are fun – they greet you with a wagging tail every day and put a smile on your face, even on a bad day.
