Festive Pot Painting

Dear Friends,

We still have some spaces left for our festive pot painting evening at the Mission Church in Bomere Heath. Do not fear if your enthusiasm outweighs your skills! The evening will be hosted by a local artist, who will help us to do a lovely job, whatever our ability. There will be refreshments throughout, and the event is suitable for older children (over 12 years old). The finished pot will make a lovely present for a friend or relative.
To book a place, either phone Pat Hall on 01939 290637 or reply to this email, and I will pass your name on. The details are:
Wednesday, 20th November
7pm 
The Mission Church in Bomere Heath

With thanks and blessings,

We would be very grateful for donations for our children’s gift shop, which we are running again this December. ( eg – toiletries, games, chocolates, etc).

Children will be able to purchase small gifts, starting from £2.00 which will be labelled and gift wrapped for them to give to family members.  All donations can be left in the school office.  Timings and dates will follow nearer the time.  Thank you for your support.

Spooky Disco

The first FOBs event of the year was a huge success! Thank you to all of the parent volunteers who made this wonderful event happen.  The children had a fabulous time and raised over £340 for the school – money that will go directly towards resources to support teaching and learning.  Thank you to our amazing community for making this happen.

Dance Performances

Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to watch our PE dance performances.  We were very proud of the children to perform so confidently in front of such a large audience and to show such great coordination in their routines.

Attendance and Punctuality

We have been delighted to see a huge improvement in attendance this half term (96.2%) compared to the same half term last academic year (93.8%).

We have also seen a significant reduction in lates from 137 in Autumn 1 last year, to 57 this year! This is a brilliant effort from everyone and we are very grateful for your support.

Head of School Message

It has been a jam-packed final week of this half term and the staff and children are all ready for a break!

It has been lovely to see so many parents/carers in school for our parent drop-ins and to see the children’s PE dances this week.  I hope you enjoyed looking at the work the children have done so far this year.  I have been really impressed at some of the progress made by children over the last 8 weeks and it was lovely for teachers to be able to share that with you this week.
