You may remember that last term the children took part in a festive Elf Run to raise funds for St Raphael's Hospice. We were able to help raise vital funds for this fantastic local charity who rely heavily on the support and generosity of the community. 

 

 

We raised an incredible £2,207.19!!

 

 

A big thank you to everyone who donated, and of course to the children who worked so hard to complete the run.

 

 

School Christmas lunch will be on Wednesday 7th December 2022.

 

If your child would like a Christmas meal on this day, please log into ParentPay and make a payment of £2.30 on the payment item entitled ‘School Dinner Money’. Please find attached a link to the booking form which must be completed if you wish to order a Christmas meal. This form should still be completed even if your child usually has a lunch on a Wednesday.

Payment can ONLY be paid online via your ParentPay account. As we keep our school dinner prices as low as possible, we must have payment in advance. This also helps us to order the correct amount of ingredients.

 

Please note that payment must be received by Monday 28th November. We cannot take requests after this date. If you are entitled to Free School Meals you do not need to make a payment but you do need to complete the form.

 

 

 

Next Monday 14^th November marks the start of Anti-Bullying Week and the theme is ‘Reach Out’. We will be doing lessons in class to discuss bullying and talking about how we can be kind to others and reach out when someone might need help.

 

As part of this week, on the Monday we will be joining in with the Anti-Bullying Alliance and celebrating ‘Odd Socks Day’. This will be an opportunity for children to talk about what makes us all unique and celebrate our differences. All the children need to do is come into school on Monday wearing their uniform as usual (or PE kit for Year 5 and 6) and 2 odd socks! No financial donation is required.

 

 

 

We will hold a sale of a range of items on Wednesday 9^th November. This will take place in the School Hall.

 

Children:

1. Can donate one toy, book or game they no longer need. It must be in good condition.
2. They should bring this in on Wednesday morning (9^th November) 
3. May bring some money to spend at the sale.  £1- £3 would be fine; (certainly not more than £5) and this should be in a purse, wallet or named envelope. 
4. They will visit the sale during the afternoon with their class.

 

Adults:

• You are invited to visit the sale after school on Wednesday.
• Please bring cash - preferably coins.

 

 

Here is some information about meal offers during the October half term holidays which parents/carers might find useful.

We understand that Robin Hood Infants have advised parents of changes to their school day timings from next September. We do not need to make major adjustments to our day however Mrs Bracey and I have liaised on this and from September 2023, the Juniors’ school day will end at 3.20pm. No other changes are needed however this should give parents picking up from the Infants at 3.10pm a little extra time in the afternoon

 

 

 

On Friday 30th September 2022, we are celebrating our own version of European Day of Languages which we like to call World Languages Day. This will be a celebration of different languages and cultures. This year, in order to mark the day, the children will have the opportunity to study different pieces of art from around the world and discover the meaning and motivation behind the art.

 

On this day, all pupils and staff are invited to come to school dressed in any colours from any chosen flag. This could be the country where your family is originally from; a country that you have visited or even a country that the children just like the colours of the flag.

 

There is no donation needed for this day.

 

 

If you wish to place an order for your child’s school photograph, you can do this by using your unique link on your photo proof or visit www.tempest-orders.co.uk  

 

Any orders made online before Thursday 29th September 2022, will be processed and sent back to school to be sent home with your child with no additional charges. Any orders placed after this date will incur a £5 post and packaging fee to be delivered back to your home address.

 

 

We held a second hand uniform sale on Tuesday 13^th September, and it was a huge success! A big thank you to everyone who donated pre loved uniform for the sale.

 

We are hoping to hold another sale later again this year. If you wish to bring in any unwanted, good quality uniform, please bring it in to the school office.  We particularly need larger sizes, especially skirts!
