Pre-loved School Uniform Station

Thu 14 Dec 2023

We have set up a pre-loved school uniform station in our main entrance next to the school office. (please see attached picture)

Items such as school uniform, PE kit, shoes and coats will be stored in here. Items will be organised into the baskets and labelled with the appropriate age.

Please feel free to help yourself to any of these items throughout the year. You do not need to inform the office, please just come and take any items you need for your child.

We have started to put some items in the baskets already but if you have any pre-loved school uniform or any items mentioned above in excellent/ washed condition, we would really appreciate it if you could send these to the school office. This way we can keep the uniform station topped up throughout the year for those in need.

Many thanks for your co-operation.

Thank you to Santa's helpers

Many thanks to all those that came to help Father Christmas (who is rather busy at the moment) with the wrapping of presents. Our children are so good at school, and Father Christmas knows how much we love reading, that he brings all of our children a new book for Christmas.

Christmas bauble competition

Tue 12 Dec 2023 Anna Cvijetic

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for your support and involvement in our recent Christmas bauble making activity.

The Christmas bauble making project was a tremendous success, and I am delighted to inform you that the results were simply outstanding. Our students showcased their design technology sewing skills, creating beautiful baubles that truly captured the essence of the holiday season.

These remarkable creations are being proudly displayed on our school Christmas trees, adding a touch of magic and festivity to our surroundings. The baubles looked absolutely amazing, and it is a testament to the talent and creativity of our children.

I want to extend a special thank you to all the parents and grandparents who took the time to sit with their children and support them in making the baubles. Your involvement and encouragement truly makes a difference, and it was heartwarming to witness the bond between families as they worked together on this project.

Additionally, I would like to congratulate the winners in each key stage. Your baubles stood out amongst the many remarkable entries, and it is evident that you put a great deal of effort and thought into your designs. Well done!

I would also like to express my gratitude to Mrs Fowles and Mrs Bielby, our DT leaders, for their creativity and dedication in coming up with this wonderful idea and organising the activity. Their commitment to providing enriching experiences for our children is truly commendable, and we are fortunate to have them as part of our school community.

Once again, I want to thank each and every one of you for your support and participation in this endeavor. Your involvement in your child's education is invaluable, and it is through our collective effort that we can create a nurturing and inspiring learning environment.

Wishing you all a joyous and peaceful holiday season.

To enter the competition, you must:

Design and make a Christmas bauble!
Bring it to school by the 1^st of December.

All decorations will be used to decorate our school!

5 winners will be chosen and awarded PRIZES during the festive light switch on assembly!

Bring your Christmas decoration in an envelope / plastic wallet with the child’s name, year group and class name. Hand them in to school office.

Below are some ideas for the baubles but feel free to create new and exciting designs!

We are looking forward to see your creations!

Christmas Events

10th November 2023

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are really looking forward to all of our Christmas Celebrations this year. The children will be doing lots of lovely Christmas activities in class too. Please read the information below regarding all Christmas Events that are coming up here at school.

Christmas Card Post Box

From 1^st December, there will be a Christmas Card Post Box in the Nursery, Reception, Infants and the Juniors. The children are welcome to post their cards to be delivered to their friends and teachers in this box. Please can you ensure that they have the child’s full name, year group and class on to help our post people get them to the right person.

Christmas Wrapping Morning

Father Christmas would like a little help with wrapping the presents, as his elves are so busy already. We would like to ask if there are any parents or grandparents who feel they can give us an hour or two of their time on the morning of 6^th December to help, starting at 8.50am after dropping off. We will provide the wrapping paper, scissors and sellotape. You will be rewarded with a mince pie, beverage, some Christmas tunes and good conversation. If you are able to help please contact the school office. We will meet at the junior site.

Christmas Lunch & Jumpers

Christmas lunch is a lovely opportunity for the school staff and children to celebrate Christmas together. Children can also come to school wearing their Christmas Jumpers on their lunch day.

Date of Lunch	YEAR
Tuesday 5^th December	Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2
Thursday 7^th December	Years 3-6

A Google form will be sent to you shortly via text/email so you can let us know if your child will be having the lunch. Please complete this by Friday 24^th November. After this date, no other numbers will be added as the food will be ordered. Please complete one form for each child.

If your child in Year 3 to 6 does not want a Christmas Lunch, they will need to bring a packed lunch on this day as there will be no other options. (This does not apply to Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 children as they will all have the Christmas Lunch, please still fill in the online form to let us know if your child will have the meat or veg option)

Children in Reception, Year 1 and 2 are covered for this lunch by the Universal Free School Meals. All other years, the cost of the meal is £2.60; this will be paid for by the usual Parent Pay System. Please ensure your child has enough funds in their account on the day of Christmas Lunch.

Christmas Lunch Menu

Mains: Roast Turkey or Quorn Roast

Sides: Roast Potatoes, Pigs in Blankets (not for Nursery), Stuffing, Carrots, Broccoli and Gravy

Dessert: Festive Chocolate & Vanilla Ice-cream Pot

We are delighted to invite you to our Christmas Carol Concerts this year. The children are all working really hard to make the concert festive and entertaining; we hope you will be able to join us at this event.

A letter will be coming out shortly for you to reserve tickets for your child’s concert. Unfortunately, due to fire regulations we are only able to offer 2 tickets per family for the concert. We look forward to seeing you there.

Each year group will be having a Christmas Party. We would like the children to come to school in their party clothes on their party day and wear them all day.

We would appreciate you helping with food for the parties. The children will be having a normal school dinner on their party day, but some treats for the parties would still be appreciated. Please could you send the treats in with your child on their party day and they will be distributed for the children to share. We request that you make sure there are no nuts, strawberries or bananas in anything to ensure children with allergies are safe. School will provide drinks, cups and plates. This year we are asking for;

the boys to bring in savoury items. Please send some vegetarian options too as lots of our children are vegetarian (for example pakoras, vegetable sausage rolls, cheese bites, crisps)
the girls to bring in the desserts (for example cakes/ buns, biscuits, chocolates)

The Christmas parties will take place in the afternoons on the following dates.

Date of Party	YEAR
