Weekly Update Friday 6th December
As I write this update, I can hear the children practising their Christmas songs and they sound brilliant! You will be in for a real treat with their performances this year. Thank you to everyone who have brought their costumes in. We do have spares in school, if you are unable to bring one in. Please let us know in good time if you need one of these.
Next week is our School Shopping Bazaar day, on Tuesday 10th December. This will be our 15th year of running the Bazaar, and we cannot wait! Each gift will cost £3.50 each and there will be tables set up for males/females/children/babies. Each child can choose up to 6 presents for their family. These will then be wrapped and can be put straight under your tree. Please remember to send in:
Your child's shopping list (these were sent home in their bookbags on yellow paper this week)
The correct money in labelled envelope/purse
A carrier bag with their name on it.
If you would like to come and help with the shopping/wrapping, please put your name down with Claire, our PTA chair. It really is a very special time, and the children love giving their families their surprise gifts on Christmas morning.
Our PTA have been super busy this week organising raffle prizes and our lovely Christmas tree at the front of the school. Thank you so much! We are very very grateful! Our amazing Learning Support Team have been sprinkling their magic everywhere too, and the school looks very Christmassy-thank you to all who trimmed up!
We are saying goodbye on Wednesday to Mrs Labram, as she is starting her maternity leave then. Today Fox class met Miss Felicty Martin, who will be Fox Class's teacher until Mrs Labram returns. We wish Mrs Labram and her husband all the best for this exciting new chapter in their lives. It will be a magical Christmas for them all. We would like to welcome Miss Martin to our Year 2 team, and also welcome Mrs Biscoe as a LSA in our Year R team.
If anyone has any raffle tickets to still sell, please bring the stubs back. Each child was given two books in their book bag. If you aren't selling them, please give the tickets back in, so that we can sell them from the school office.
Rocksteady parents are in for a treat on Monday afternoon, next week, as it is the first Rocksteady Concert of the school year. We look forward to seeing you, and finding out which tunes they are playing this year!
Please note that this year, our Creche can only run during the morning performances in the school hall. There are only 2 tickets per family and all children junior school age and younger, will need to be booked into the creche/ have care organised. Thank you for being so understanding for our children's performance on stage.
Art Club's poppies are displayed outside our staffroom and they look beautiful. All the staff have commented on how individual they are. We are now painting our last picture, which is a snowy Christmas night. Year 2 had their amazing geography outcome and some of their fantastic models are in our photos at the end. We have also had some amazing angels from Year 1 on their display on the ramp area, and some brilliant Gruffalo cave drawing are on the walls outside Year R. What talented children we have!
We look forward to you joining us for our Christmas festivities.
Best wishes
Mrs Riches
Headteacher
