Christmas Jumper Day

On Wednesday 16th December, we are having a non-uniform day as a treat for all the children’s hard work this term.  Children can come to school wearing a Christmas jumper or something festive and they do not have to pay/make a donation this time.

Choir Performing at the Coop

We are looking forward to the choir’s annual performance at the Coop next Tuesday morning and you are welcome to come and support the children.  If you have not yet returned your child’s permission slip for the various choir events, please can you do so as soon as possible. Thank you.

Christmas Parties

Class 4 and 5 will be having their Christmas party on the afternoon of Tuesday 15th December and Classes 1, 2 and 3 on Thursday 17th.  Lists for party food etc will go up on the windows of Class 2 and Class 4 next week.

Clubs

Christmas Fayre – whole school

Have a great weekend.

Mrs Johnson

To all, please come along and help plant 7 fruit trees and 20 raspberry canes for our school.  Some digging has already been done, so hopefully all ages can help.

Looking forward to seeing you Sunday morning 10.30 onwards.

Many thanks, Catherine and all FOBS

We have a number of plates and storage containers which have been left in school after the cake sale. They are in reception for collection. Thank you.

Christmas Lunch

We know it may seem a long way off yet but the school kitchen have asked if you could let them know if your child would like the Christmas lunch on Wednesday 16th December.  We will put class lists up next week for you or your child to tick their name if they think they would like a lunch on that day.

Cold weather

As the weather looks as though it may be turning colder next week, please could we remind children to bring a coat to school.

Letters home this week

Have a good weekend.

Mrs Johnson

Children In Need – Thank you!

Thank you for such a fantastic effort with children’s costumes today and for the donations of cakes, biscuits, sweets and not forgetting donations for not wearing school uniform.  By the end of morning break we had raised over £180 and with more cakes sold after school we raised a grand total of £241.86!  Thank you again for all your support with our fundraising efforts today.

Shoe Boxes

Many thanks for the shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child.  If you are planning on filling a shoe box, these will be collected from school on the morning of Tuesday 17th November.

Swimming Gala

You may have noticed that our area swimming gala is being held next Wednesday at Oswestry.  Originally we were intending on asking some of our Year 4 children to take part but we have such a strong group of swimmers in Year 4 that there simply aren’t enough events for them all to compete in.  Therefore only Years 5 and 6 will be competing this year but we are definitely looking forward to seeing our current Year 4 children taking part next year!

Craft Club

Just a reminder that there is a small charge of £1 a week for children attending Craft Club on Wednesdays.

Arthog

We need to give Arthog the final numbers by Tuesday so please could you return the letter and deposit by Tuesday morning.  If you have any questions, about the visit prior to booking your child’s place, please do not hesitate to speak to myself or Mrs Jones.

Year 5 Brass Forms

If you would like your Year 5 child to take their brass instrument home to practise, please could you return the form to confirm that you have home insurance in place to cover the instrument. Thank you in advance.
