Dear Families,

 

We seem to have been really busy this week.  The early years children and KS1 children have started their preparations for the Christmas plays.  We’ve had visitors in school offering to help find funding pots to help with trips and resources as well as helping with our CRL (careers related learning).  The Co-op Community Pioneers have lots of links to a variety of people in business who can come and talk to our children about their jobs, which will be exciting for the children.

 

Year 5 gymnastics
I had the pleasure of taking 6 children to the Crewe & Nantwich Gymnastics centre on Tuesday.  The children had so much fun learning about gymnastics and various elements needed for gymnastics routines.  We’ve got a few more practise sessions before the girls are in a competition.

 

Small & Tall
We’ve had a new member of staff join us, Miss Pattinson.  The children were great at showing Miss Pattinson ‘the ropes’!  

 

Next Week:
Anti-bullying week – the theme is Power for Good.  All of the children will be learning about what bullying is and how we can tackle this.

Children in Need - We are asking children to come in their own clothes in exchange for £1 (or more) donation. The payment can be made on Parentpay and this link will take you directly to the page  Children in Need donation 

 

School Age Immunisation 
The School Age Immunisation team will be in school on Wednesday 26th November to administer the Nasal Flu spray to the children. You should have received an email with the details on how to register. If you have not received this, please let Mrs Dean know in the office. This is only for Reception – Year 6 children.

 

Dojo
Please can I remind you that staff struggle to answer any messages throughout the day due to them teaching.  Messages in the evening, weekend or in the holidays will be answered on the next work day.
