KS2 Pantomime Visit
Next Wednesday 30th November Years 3, 4 ,5 & 6 will all be visiting the Theatre to watch Beauty and the Beast show, finishing at 4:30pm. Coaches are booked to bring the children back to school for approximately 5:15pm. It will be dark and we need to release the children safely after they have collected their belongings from the classrooms so please do not wait on the pavement for the coaches to arrive. We will open school gates as normal and you should collect your children from the playground where you would normally pick them up. Children in Year 6 will not be able to walk home and will need collecting please.
Year 4 Roman Day
Next week Year 4 are having a Roman Day to mark the end of their history topic. Children may come to school in fancy dress.
- Dolphins-Tuesday 29th November
- Whales-Thursday 1st December
Please can we ask that children bring in a cereal box to school for crafting and for a contribution of £4.20 towards the workshop on ParentPay if you are able too.
Eco Council Drop & Swap Recycling Scheme
The Drop & Swap trolley in the foyer will be used to collect any Christmas Clothing you no longer need and you may have a look to see if anything takes your fancy! This is a great way to recycle children’s outgrown Christmas Jumpers.
Christmas Shoeboxes
We will be working with the charitable organisation ‘Little Bags of Kindness’ to support people in our community who need some festive cheer and help this Christmas. If you would like to fill a Christmas Box or Gift Bag at home for a child in need, we will be collecting these in the school foyer in the run up to Christmas.
Christmas Performaces & Elfridges
Our Christmas Performances are coming up soon so don’t forget to see the dates on the website Calendar page. These are being held at Holy Trinity Church. More about these and Elfridges next week.
We hope you have a lovely weekend and I’ll see you at the school gates next week.
Kind Regards,
T Larkham
Mr T Larkham
Headteacher
