We will be holding our annual book fair from 23rd November to 26th November. More information will follow shortly.

Just a reminder, the catch-up flu vaccinations will be taking place on Tuesday 10th November. Year 5 will be receiving theirs on 18th November.

We had our termly Eucharist service, this week.  It was lovely to welcome members of the church and wider community to school to take communion with us.  The children listened and participated in the service thoughtfully and respectfully and it is lovely to see their understanding of the significance of the service, growing. Thank you to Father Adam for leading us through a very thought provoking act of worship.

A huge thanks to Evie Pickerill and to the HSA for our visit, this week.  Tuesday’s assembly was tremendous fun, learning about Evie’s work with CBeebies and how she came to work there. We learnt about her studies and her past experiences and how the first time she applied for a job with the BBC, she was not successful.  We learnt about resilience and not giving up on our dreams and ambitions. The assembly was concluded with Evie reading us the story of The Gruffalo.

We have had a great week, following the half term holiday.  It has been lovely to welcome the children back to school.

Please can I remind all adults accessing the school site that we are a smoke free site and that the use of cigarettes and vapes is not permitted on school grounds.  Please could I kindly ask that you pass this message on to any adults that are dropping off or picking up, to ensure the health and safety of our school community.  Many thanks for your support with this.

We have started to roll out our OPAL activities, this week.  The children have been very thoughtful and considerate now that the playgrounds have been mixed and it is a pleasure to see children of all ages playing together.  Thank you very much for all of the kind donations that we have received to support our outdoor play and learning.  So far, the children are really enjoying the lego and construction activities.

We thoroughly enjoyed the visit from Evie Pickerill, this week and loved being able to join in with a story with her. Thank you to the HSA for organising the visit and to the children for your super participation.  I think that we all enjoyed the opportunity to come to school in our pyjamas/ comfies.

Thank you very much to our House Captains and other school representatives for visiting the church and adding our contributions to the poppy tree, ahead of the Service of Remembrance, on Sunday. Mrs Peters will be laying a wreath at the service, on behalf of our school and I know that many of our children and families will also be attending.  Children who are members of uniformed groups are very welcome to attend school in their uniforms on Wednesday 11th November. 

Thank you very much to our Open the Book team who led our Collective Worship, this week.  They acted out the story of Jesus choosing to have dinner with Zacchaeus, despite him not being popular due to cheating people on their taxes.  We learnt about the example that Jesus set of seeking out the people who weren’t included. We learnt about the value of forgiveness and the importance of moving on.

Father Adam visited us in school, on Thursday.  We heard the story that Jesus told of the Good Samaritan.  We considered who behaved as a good neighbour and what qualities they had displayed.  Father Adam asked us to consider the ways in which we can be good neighbours. The children gave some excellent examples, such as being generous, not being boastful and supporting someone if they are upset.
