Panto at the Alhambra Theatre

 

We had the most amazing time at the Panto 'Cinderella' on Tuesday - the children's faces were amazed throughout!  The magic tricks, the singing, the dancing, the laughs were simply brilliant!  None of it could have been possible without the support from Emma Ainsworth, our Chair of Governors, who set up the crowdfund.  Thank you to each and every one of you who donated - it meant such a lot.

Attendance Matters

 

This week's whole school attendance is 91.7% which is below the government target of 96%.  Our class winners this week were Year 2 who had 94.2% - well done to them!  Next week, any class who reaches 96% or above will have an extra playtime; you have to be in it to win it!

 

Number Day 1st February

 

We are going to be taking part in the NSPCC Number Day on Thursday 1st February.  We will be taking part in lots of fun maths activities and games throughout the day and your child can come to school dressed as something number or shape related.  You might want to simply write numbers onto a t-shirt, you could come dressed as something to do with maths or number.  

Time to Talk Day 1st February

 

On Thursday 1st February, we will also be taking part in Time to Talk Day in association with the charity Mind.  We will be having a 'Walk and Talk' playground where all staff will be out in the playground with the children.  At lunchtime, we will be holding a Time to Talk lunchtime club with cosy mats, beanbags, blankets and lots of things to talk about.  The charity has a fabulous website which you can have a look at for ideas with what you can do at home:  https://timetotalkday.co.uk/

 

Lunchtime Clubs

 

At lunchtimes, our KS2 children from Years 3 to 6 are able to join a lunchtime club which is run by members of the Senior Leadership Team.  Each day has a different club: 

• Monday - Story Club with Mrs Shirra
• Tuesday - Movie Club with Mr Watson
• Wednesday - Mindfulness Colouring with Mrs Wierzbianski
• Thursday - Lego Club with Ms Pascoe
• Friday - Chromebook Club with Mrs Wierzbianski

 

And finally...

 

We hope you are able to get out into the fresh air this weekend and do something you enjoy.  Mrs Wierzbianski will be going shopping with her daughter (send help!), Mr Watson will be going out for a meal with friends, Mrs Shirra will be relaxing and keeping cosy in the winter weather and Ms Pascoe will be catching up with family.  We will see you bright and early on Monday morning where our doors will open at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am.
