Dear Parents and Carers,

Weekly roundup – Infants

Bedtime story

This week has flown by! It started splendidly with Bedtime story. Thank you to everyone who braved the cold with their children in their pj’s to come and enjoy this event. Thanks also to the PTA who made a sterling job of organising and serving hot chocolate and biscuits to the children and teas and coffees to the adults, the teachers who didn’t mind donning their nightwear to read stories and decorating their rooms to create cosy spaces, and lastly thank you for the donations for the Book Trust. We will let you know the total once the school council have met to count it. For Bedtime story photos click here.

Zelda said, ‘I loved bedtime story. I brought my teddy and we had hot chocolate and a chocolate biscuit.’

The Green Team and Christmas Jumpers

The Green team have been elected. Louise has briefed them on their responsibilities to be Power savers and Recycling Champions. The children will help their classmates to turn off lights when not needed and think of creative ways to reuse, reduce and recycle.

Lyra said, ‘We recycle, reuse and reduce waste so that turtles and fish don’t get stuck in plastic.’ Marigold added, ‘So that animals don’t choke on little bits of plastic.’

Freddie said, so animals don’t die.’

Frank said, ’We need to turn off lights and things so that we don’t waste electricity.’

With her Eco hat on, Louise is running a Christmas Jumper stall after school on Tuesday 29th on the pavement between the two schools. If you have any Christmas jumpers that are now too small that you would like to donate, please bring them to either the Infant or Junior office. For Green team photos click here

Fareshare

As you know we get a delivery every week from Fareshare. What we receive varies from week to week, but I know that it is greatly appreciated within our school and local community. To ensure that as many people have access to it as possible, we will be aiming to keep the food covered until 8:45 when there may be more families on site dropping off children. Fareshare will continue to be for any member of our local community. If you would like access to Fareshare but can’t be here at that time, please contact the infant office.

Junior Weekly Roundup

Fri 25 Nov 2022

Dear Parents and Carers,

Weekly Roundup – Junior School

This week has been an exciting week!

Boys Football

On Tuesday, Miss Markwell took the Year 6 boys to the football tournament. The boys represented the school so well. They worked together as a team and even won some of their matches! Thank you to all of the parents who helped with this event and to Mrs Merrett for organising this. There will be pictures to follow next week.

Free dance performance for Year 6

Today, year 6 were lucky enough to watch a dance show in the hall by a company called ‘Aka Dance Theatre’. The show was called, ‘A Real Fiction’ and was an interactive performance and a story based dance based on people’s memories from the public e.g. a weather man, tennis commentator etc. All of the children loved the show: the year 6 teachers told me the children danced back to their classroom after the show and said it was the best day ever! There will be pictures to follow of this exciting performance next week.
