Children in Need On Friday 15th November we will be trying to raise as much money as possible for the charity Children in Need. The theme this year is ‘Be a Hero.’ We would love to see the children dressed up as either their favourite superhero or maybe someone they look up to or admire. Please send in between 50p and £1 if your child is dressing up. We’re also planning to fill a giant Pudsey Bear with loose change so if you have any spare coins then dig them out and send them in – thank you for your support with this. OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD Once again we will be filling shoeboxes for the charity Samaritan’s Purse. Your child has now brought home a letter – please browse it and see if you are able to help by sending in anything listed on the leaflet or a cash donation. We appreciate this is an expensive time of year so are most grateful for any support you can give.

Latest update

Mr Stink arrives in 4B and 4N!! Wow!! We're so lucky to have Bigwood School visiting us every Monday afternoon for the next 4 weeks. They're reading the hilarious book 'Mr Stink' and we're very busy working on activities linked to it. HOMEWORK - Each week we will be asked to complete various tasks linked to Mr Stink and bring the booklet we have been given back into school for the next session on a Monday afternoon. Investors in Pupils Each half term the children are set targets. Why not ask your child about their target and how they think they're going to reach it. Is there anything they could be doing at home to work towards their target? Each term the classes are given a budget of £30 which they can then decide how to spend. We will be talking together about how to spend this money either at the end of each term or save it until the end of the year. Christmas Play This year we will be performing 'The Button Box.' Year 4 will be taking the parts of 'sailors' and we'll be in touch shortly about any costumes that will be needed.
