The vaccination team should be in school on Thursday 20th November to administer the flu vaccine to anyone who has given consent but missed the first session.

Our H.S.A are looking for donations of any old Christmas decorations that you no longer want, to help decorate Santa’s Grotto at the Christmas Fayre. Any Christmas trees, lights or baubles that are in working order and you no longer need would be gratefully received. Please see a member of the H.S.A to arrange drop-off of any items.

Many thanks.

Just a reminder that if you would like to place any orders for the Christmas Cards your child brought home, the deadline for the online shop is Wednesday 19th November.

We have been advised by IQ Cards that any orders placed after this date will be classed as late orders and we will not receive any funding and unfortunately parents will have to pay for a Royal Mail Tracked delivery service.

Thank you again for your support, all funds raised will be used to benefit the children.

Well done to all of our children who have been so sensible and helpful on such a wet and windy day!

It has been a very busy week, with children representing the school in football and gymnastics.  As always, the children represented our school brilliantly  – thank you to all of those who took part.

It was a privilege to be invited to lay the wreath at the Wall Heath Cenotaph, on Sunday.  I was so proud to see so many of our children there in their uniforms to participate in the parade.

Staff and pupil feedback to the change to the start of the day arrangements has been positive.  Please ensure that you are still supervising children in reception and years 1 to 4 into the school grounds and to the relevant doors.  The prompt start to school day at 0850 provides very valuable learning time, in the classrooms.  It has provided us with time to practise maths fluency as well as spellings. Your assistance with ensuring that your child is in school on time, is very much appreciated so that they do not miss this valuable learning time.

We look forward to next week, when we have non-uniform day and school discos to look forward to!

Our thanks to Father Chris who led our act of worship, this week. Father Chris taught us a new hymn, which he led us in with his electric guitar.  We then learnt about Joseph, The Dreamer.   We thought about Joseph’s capacity to forgive his brothers and how he was able to show the value of generosity, despite having been treated so badly, by them.  Father Chris asked us to reflect on the story throughout the week, and think about how we can show patience, forgiveness and generosity in our thoughts, words and actions.
