Headteacher's Welcome

What a busy term we have had in school! There has been so much going on and the children really have settled so well into their new classes. The Reception children seem so confident and happy and are showing increasing independence all the time - well done! Today the Reception children have visited the Firth Homes in Nether Green to deliver a Harvest hamper - thank you for your kind donations! The children entertained the residents with some super harvest singing and their visit was very well received by all - well done Reception! 

After such a  long term I think everyone is ready for a rest! I hope you all have a lovely week and manage some quality family time together. 

Take a look at the Learning Gallery to see more photos.

Healthy Selfie Challenge!
We would like to invite our children and their parents/carers to take part in a holiday 'HealthySelfie' challenge! We would love for the children to take a selfie photo to show an aspect of 'health and fitness' that they undertook during the holidays. 
This could be anything from some fun physical activity, taking part in a sport, making a healthy snack or even something you have done to positively affect your mental health! We hope to show the children their photos in assembly once we are back at school. Please could you send your HealthySelfie photos to the school office. 

Hello! 

Half term is here! Have a lovely break. Here are some things to do on a rainy day: 

Christmas Cards - Templates were sent home last week! 

All of the instructions are on a leaflet included with the template, but in summary:
 
1. Encourage your child to design a Christmas card on the blank side. This can be a drawing, painting or collage. Even glitter glue is allowed (but not sprinkle glitter). See Xmas4Schools for further information. Christmas designs are encouraged but it could be anything! 
2. Once dry (!), please complete the form on the back.
3. Return to school by Mon 4th Nov (first day back after half term).
4. Xmas4schools will send you a unique order link for your child’s artwork. Use this to order.
5. Everything you order will be delivered to school at the start of December.
 
A great opportunity to have your child’s design printed onto some lovely products and support school too. 

Second Hand Uniform

Have a sort out! If you have any uniform that no longer fits and it’s in good condition please consider bringing it to the office! The online website has been a success and so far raised £93.13 and available all year as long as we continue to receive your kind donations. 

Grown Out of It - Order Second Hand Uniform - order here

School tea towels are back!! These make fantastic Christmas presents!

This week children have been busy drawing self portraits. These will create a fabulous whole school tea towel! Forms to order will be sent home first week after half term and will be delivered in plenty of time before Christmas!
