Dear Parents/Carers,
Dear Parents and Carers,
Taking part in competitive sports is a great opportunity for pupils to grow. On the pitch our pupils learn how to work as a team, communicate clearly and solve problems under pressure. Our Boys’ and Girls’ Football teams are regularly competing against other teams in the local authority. This week it was the turn of the boys’ football team.
They played their first competitive match of the season, against St.Vincents Primary School. It was a match the boys completely dominated, creating lots of chances. The boys were disappointed as they conceded a goal towards the end of the match- narrowly losing 1-0. The team have learnt a lot from their first game and will now take that into their next match. Good luck boys!
We would like to invite parents and carers to our upcoming Book Look. This is a great chance to browse your child’s books, celebrate their progress, and see the learning they are so proud of. Teachers will be on hand to answer any general questions about the curriculum and how we support pupils’ next steps. We hope you can join us and share in the fantastic achievements across the school.
We would love you to come along to join us for this year’s nativity performances. This is a wonderful chance to celebrate the children’s speaking, singing and acting skills. More information to follow.
There’s a great opportunity for parents and carers of our pupils in the school choir, school Rock bands and Music groups to come along for a festive treat. The pupils will be showcasing their work from this half term to share with you. We look forward to seeing you there. More information will be sent via Parent Mail.
Our Disco Parties will take place during the final week of term, giving every class the chance to celebrate together. Parties will all be 4-5pm. Book via parent pay!
Children should come dressed in the best party outfits. We will provide the party snacks, music and games. It’s a lovely way to end a busy term and enjoy some seasonal cheer as a school community. Details for each year group have been shared by parent mail. Tickets are £3 each and payable in advance on parent pay. If you have any questions please see your child’s class teacher!
Thank you to all our families who supported the school to raise money for Children in Need. We raised £108.75 in our red donation buckets. Thank you to all!
Our extra – curricular clubs are in high demand. If you would like to book your child onto one of the clubs available please complete the interest form that was sent earlier this week via Parent Mail.
We understand that these are challenging financial times for our families. Please remember that we may be able to offer support in a range of ways including access to food banks, uniform assistance, support with access to extra curricular clubs and school trips. If you are finding things difficult please come along to speak to us in confidence, we are here to help.
Our uniform swap shop will start next Monday 17th November. Nearly new items will be available for you to purchase at a very low cost or be available to swap with an item of uniform that you no longer need. Please come along to the breakfast club entrance which is next to the dining hall. If you are unsure where the entrance is please ask your child’s class teacher.
Every week, we learn about a different musician in school, from different time periods, cultures and styles of music. This supports our knowledge our music through time and the artists, composers and musicians who created it. This term we have been listening to a wide range of genres including Pop, Rock and Classical. The children are exposed and discuss the music theme in class each week.
