Attendance Matters - The Only Way is UP!

We have had a much more successful week with attendance - our whole school figure was 94% which is higher than last week - we are still aiming for 96% or above so keep sending your children in.  We had three classes who had above 96% and they will be celebrating with an extra playtime.  The class winner was Year 3 who had a perfect 100% - you are all amazing!  They won a new classroom game on our Attendance Wheel, they were able to add four stickers to the attendance challenge board (where the prize will be a trip to Infinity at the end of the term for the winning class) and they get an extra playtime.  I am so proud of you all in Year 3 for being in school every day and on time - keep up the great work!  Let's see if we can have more classes achieving 100% and keep on raising our whole school attendance %.

Winter Fair

Thank you for your donations towards our Winter Fair - you have been so generous and we really do appreciate it; especially when times are hard.  Our Winter Fair is taking place on Thursday 19th December from 3:15pm in the hall.  We have a Name the Elf stall, each class will be selling things they have made in class as part of a Grow Your Fiver challenge and there will be hot drinks and biscuits on offer.  Not only that, there will also be the world famous Bag Stall and Mrs Peacock will be making a guest appearance!

PTA - Come and join us!

Our PTA are fantastic and have been busily organising everything for our Winter Fair.  They are running a Decorate the Classroom competition, they are organising food and drinks for the end of term parties and every Year 6 pupil will be able to go and choose a bauble to hang on our Christmas tree.  I would like to thank them personally as they do such an incredible job - they embody our Co-op Value of Show You Care.  If you would like to join our PTA, please get in touch with us.

And finally...

We hope you have a wonderful weekend, it looks to be a good day weather wise on Saturday and perhaps a bit rainy on Sunday.  I will be having a girlie weekend with my daughter, Mr Watson will be designing a new bathroom for his house, Ms Pascoe is decorating the house for Christmas and Mrs Shirra is doing the same!  Whatever you decide to do, we hope you have a super time doing it.  We look forward to seeing you bright and early on Monday morning where our doors open at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am!
