Weekly Update Friday 20th September

We finally had a full week of sunshine and the children have thoroughly enjoyed their playtimes in our lovely grounds. This weeks 'Celebration Assembly' saw lots of children in Year 1 and 2 having a 'Star of the Week' sticker for their fantastic maths learning. It was great to see so many children becoming more confident in their mathematics. 

We had our annual PTA  AGM on Wednesday. There was a lot to be discussed, with the successful events of the summer term. We are still raising funds to develop our corridor area with new books spaces, learning/teaching spaces and quiet book nooks, and every penny helps towards this. The PTA needs one parent from each class to be the class REP. The role will consist of keeping up to date with PTA events and informing parents on their class app groups. Fox Class have Shez as their new REP, and the PTA need more! Please let the PTA or school office know if ou are able to do this role! They are also in need of somebody who is excellent at social media, and would like to do this/have the time to do this. Please contact Claire Rawlings, our PTA chair if you would like to do this (Robin Class).

You may have seen the posters for our Year 1 and 2 Disco, which is our first PTA event. We will also be having our shopping Bazaar day in December, and our annual Christmas raffle. If you/your company would like to donate a prize for our raffle, please bring it in to our school office.

Our Special Mentions book is still empty this September. If your child has done something great in September, please come and write in to give them a mention in celebration assembly-this can be for laying the table, learning to ride their bike, reading some tricky words- the list is endless! Special mentions can also be emailed in. We also have our achievements book, where we stick in certificates/pictures of children wearing medals etc, for their talents and hobbies achievements. Pleas don't forget to send these in.

Next week we have our Open Morning on Wednesday 25th September. Please let any friends know if they have a child who will be starting school in September 2025.

We have had three full weeks of our new lunches now. With some dishes being more popular than others, we are working with Clever Chefs regarding the menu. From next week onwards, every Thursday, the meat free option will be margherita pizza, which was very popular last week. Below are some of the yummy dinners we had this week and last week.

We hope you have a lovely weekend with your families.

Best wishes
