Fantastic Footballers!

A huge well done to our U9s who all played brilliantly on Wednesday evening at Sundorne.  They came top in their group and will now progress to the next round which is due to be held on 10th December.  A letter will be sent out once details have been confirmed. Thank you to all the parents who went along to Sundorne and gave fantastic support to the children and staff.

Y5/6 Athletics

Well done to the Year 5/6 children who took part in the athletics event at The Corbet on Thursday evening.  They came 2nd overall and showed real sportsmanship, cheering each other on.  Thank you very much to parents who helped with transport to and from The Corbet and who came along to support us.

Home-link books

Please can we remind parents and guardians to write in home-link books if children are staying for clubs and/or if they are going home on the bus.  We cannot stress enough how important this is.

Jars and buttons needed

If you have any glass jars (with or without lids) or buttons, please could you leave them at the Office for projects being done in Classes 4 and 3 respectively.

P.E. Kit

Please could children remember to bring their P.E. kit, including trainers/pumps, into school at the start of the week, as we are having to lend kit to children more frequently at the moment.

Letters home this week include:

Stottesdon residential visit (all children in Years 3 and 4)

Milk (free school meals children)

Hockey (for Year 6 children involved)

Update regarding Mrs Johnson’s acting head position and Mr Davies’ secondment

Xmas raffle tickets have also been sent home

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Mrs Johnson

Well Done everyone, we raised a total of £236.30.

Children In Need

Thank you for your support with our fundraising efforts today for Children In Need. The children (and staff!) looked fantastic and we are so grateful for the efforts put into the various outfits/costumes.  We raised over £200 from the donations for non-uniform, the cake sale and the sale of Pudsey ears! This is an amazing effort and we will confirm the actual total on Monday.

Collecting Children from Clubs

Please could we ask that children are collected from the Hall on Mondays after Dance Club and not from the playground.  We have reminded children that they are not to go back to their classrooms but to wait for parents/grandparents etc to collect them from the Hall.

Punctuality

We have seen an increase in the number of children arriving late in the morning.  Please could you ensure that your child is at School for 8:55 when the bell goes as the School’s punctuality figures are monitored closely by the Local Authority as well as children’s attendance.  Thank you in advance for your support with this.

Classes 4 and 5 Carol Service

This year we have decided to hold a Carol Service where children in Classes 4 and 5 will perform in Bicton Church on Thursday 18th December at 6:30 pm.  Miss Barratt has started to rehearse with both classes this week and we would be grateful for your support to help your child learn the carols and any readings they are given (to follow in the next couple of weeks.)

Buttons needed

If you have any old buttons, please could you leave them at the Office for a project that Class 3 are doing. Thank you.
