Hello everyone,
We have had a very busy week in school and it was so wonderful to be able to visit the pantomime on Wednesday and see the children (and staff!) so excited! We have a few things going on in school next week and we thank you in advance for your support.
Christmas jumper/outfit day and Christmas lunch
On Wednesday 8th December, the kitchen are serving Christmas lunch and we would like all children to come to school wearing a Christmas jumper/sweatshirt. If they don’t have one, please don’t buy one – we are happy if they wear anything festive!
Children’s Christmas gift shop
Next week, from Tuesday onwards, our Christmas gift shop will be open for children to visit to purchase a gift for a family member. They will visit in their classes during school hours. If your child would like to purchase something for 50p – £2, please send the money in with them in a labelled envelope/purse from Tuesday onwards.
Co-op Christmas tree decorations
Thank you for the fabulous response to the Co-op tree decoration competition. They are collecting them from us on Monday afternoon so if your child has not yet brought in their decorated wood slice, please make sure they do so on Monday morning.
Donations for Christmas Fair
Thank you for all the donations sent in for the gift shop and the Christmas Fair. If you still have any bottles or other items you wish to donate for the raffle or tombola, we will happily take them off your hands!
Grab a jab in Shrewsbury
Last weekend’s pop-up vaccination clinic at the Darwin Centre in Shrewsbury was such a success…we’re doing it again!
You can grab a jab on Saturday at the Shropshire Local unit on the top floor of the shopping centre between 9am and 5pm.
You can get the 1st, 2nd or 3rd dose, or the booster if you are eligible. 12-15 year olds can also get a jab but must be accompanied by a parent or carer.
Please be aware that vaccines will be given on a first come, first served basis. The clinic may close early if all vaccine has been used.
Open letter from Shropshire Council
We, alongside our neighbours in Telford & Wrekin and NHS colleagues, have written an open letter to residents.
We’re asking you to play your part in supporting our health and care services ahead of what is set to be an incredibly challenging winter.
The demand already this winter is unprecedented and is expected to get worse before it gets better.
Your actions and decisions can make a big difference.

And finally…
Thank you for all your support over recent weeks, especially if we have contacted you to arrange a PCR test for your child. We know the testing centre has been very busy this week but hopefully by getting children tested, we can keep everyone safe and well leading up to the end of term.
Have a lovely weekend.
