Dear Parents

School

School re-opens on Tuesday 4th November.

Operation Christmas Child

Please note that the closing date for bringing shoeboxes in is Friday 7th November. The children watched a video this week about the impact these boxes have on the lives of many, many children who are less fortunate than our children. I am sure they found it moving and very thought –provoking.

After-School clubs

After-school clubs resume on Tuesday 4th November. Unfortunately over the past few weeks, I have received reports of children misbehaving and being disrespectful to staff during After-School clubs. These clubs are run by staff on a voluntary basis and should be enjoyed by everyone. They are obviously slightly less formal than lessons during the school day, but I still expect the same standard of behaviour. If I feel any child is behaving in an inappropriate manner they will not be allowed to take part in the clubs.

Summer Reading Challenge

Well done to five of our children who completed the Summer Reading Challenge and read 6 books during the summer holidays. Brilliant!

Celebration of Achievement

I would also like to congratulate Rowena (Y4) and Tom (last year’s Y6) for the awards they received at the Celebration of Achievement on Wednesday. Well done both of you.

Pink Day

Thanks to all who took part in our fundraising day today for Breast Cancer Awareness. The children looked fantastic and we raised much needed funds. Thank you again.

Headteacher’s Award

This week the award goes to Year 4 for their very interesting assembly. The children have worked hard and presented the assembly very clearly and sensibly. Well done!

SAM

This week, Sam was won by Class 3 with 98.2 % attendance. Well done!

I would like to say thank you to all staff for their hard work and to you for all your support this half term. Have a good break and if you are going away, I hope the sun shines for you! I am going to Ireland so I’ll get rained on!

God bless

P Randall
