The PTA are looking for more helpers next week to help the Christmas Fair run smoothly. Any spare time you have (even if its for one hour) would be most welcome. Remember these events help raise funds to benefit the children at the school and give them those 'little extras'.
Today is a day of remembrance. The children have been learning about and creating poppies for Armistice Day. Visit our Gallery page to see just some of the activities they have participated in and our Poppies.

Its been another busy week. We have had children taking part in cross country and I'm very proud of the way they represented the school. We had a hall packed with Super Heroes on Monday evening (see PTA page for photos), parents attending Building Blocks in Reception and it was our Year 2 Class Assembly today.
We hope you like our new website and would encourage you to link our calendar with yours. This will ensure when new events are added they are automatically updated on your calendar.

Guitar - there will be no guitar lessons for the following two weeks (11th and 18th November). Catch up sessions will be arranged.

Dear Parent/Carer
The children will spend time next week learning and understanding about Armistice Day which falls on Friday 11th November. Poppies are currently being sold before school on the playground.
This year the children will also all be involved in making poppies to be placed on our infant playground on the morning of 11th November. Please take a moment to see it when you drop off or pick up your children for school. As is tradition, we will hold a period of silence for a minute and this year we hope to be able to do this beside our field of poppies at 11am.
As part of the Remembrance Day events we would like it if you could send in a photo of any relation that you would like to be remembered for the part they played in any conflict. We will take a copy of any photo’s you send in to school and the originals will be returned to you. Please clearly write the name of the person on the back of the photo, your child’s name and their class. We will need the photos here, at the school by Wednesday the 9th so that copies can be made. The photos will then be displayed on your child’s poppy which they will bring home.
We hope to make this a positive learning experience for our school community.
Kind regards
Mrs S Snowball
Assistant Head Teacher
