Children return to school

We’ve also had a reasonably quiet week in school which is unusual but quite pleasant as it’s always nice to be able

to take stock and appreciate a normal school day! Tonight we have our first-ever Year 6 Giant Sleepover - so please think of us this evening - we have 75 Year 6

children sleeping over - sleep may be in question! Have a lovely weekend!

The non-uniform day for anyone who has achieved their RED award so far this academic year is on:

FRIDAY 28th February .

Post-Ofsted Celebration Day On Thursday 13th February, we will be celebrating our

recent Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ judgement. To celebrate this huge achievement, the children will be

able to wear non-uniform (no make up, no crop tops and no ultra short shorts please). There will also be a special

menu for lunch, which the children have chosen themselves -

Hot Dog (frankfurter in a bun) or Veggie Hot Dog Chips

Sweetcorn or Peas Sugar Ring Doughnut

During the afternoon, as a special treat for our amazing children, we will be having a ‘film afternoon’ - again, the

children have selected the films to be watched. We are all looking forward to a super day - a small

reward for the to celebrate them being so wonderful!

Menu Change - Tuesday 25th February 2020 Unfortunately the school hall is unavailable on Tuesday 25th February so we have designed a ‘Grab a Bag’ lunch which the children will eat in class. The menu is below:

Sausage roll or Vegetarian Sausage Roll Potato Wedges Carrot Sticks

Ice Cream Please accept my apologies for the change although I have a feeling the children will find it quite exciting and not mind

at all!

Year 6 Giant Sleepover - tonight at 6.00pm Final Reminders -

NO mobile phones please, NO sweets/crisps/snacks

Please bring a water bottle, nightwear and bedding - inflatables are best avoided unless your child can

inflate them independently

Please administer medication before arriving

Pick Up - Saturday morning, 9.30am

‘Quingo’ On Wednesday we had a Friends’ Association event with a difference - one for the parents instead of the children!

It was a very popular and fun evening with the various quiz rounds, bingo competitions and lively banter from the Skittleman, keeping everyone thoroughly entertained!

Thank you to our Friends’ Association for organising the evening which raised £365!

Assessment Week Well done to all the children in Years 3, 4 and 5 who

admirably rose to the challenge of the various tests they faced this week. We were very proud of their positivity and

commitment. Thank you to the year group leaders and teachers for all the time spent planning the complex

timetables and to all the teaching assistants who supported individual children. Thank you also to the other teachers in

the school who released their own teaching assistants as required. A very successful week all round.

Out of School Success Well done to Edie McLellan (3P) who recently passed her

Primary Ballet and Grade 1 Modern exams with distinction.
