Christmas Cards

Good evening all,

As we approach the Christmas season I have had to make a few decisions to ensure the safety of all children and staff in schools.

We would still like the children to write Christmas cards for their friends and teachers but we must insist that they only write them for people within their bubble / class. We will not be having a post box within school this year so each class will collect their own cards. The cards will need to be quarantined for 72 hours before handing them out to children. We are asking that all Christmas cards are delivered to school no later than Friday 11th December and they will be handed out in the last week of term for children to take home.

Sadly, we will not be having a Christmas Fair this year but we will be having a raffle. Information has been sent out by the Friends of School today regarding the selling of raffle tickets starting on Monday 30th November.

We are currently in talks with Father Christmas about ways in which we can safely get him to come to school to visit our children. We obviously need to make sure that he is fit and healthy for his very busy Christmas Eve – I will update you on this as soon as I can.

Christmas Dinner day will go ahead in the last week of term. We will send information out about this next week.

Christmas jumper day is Friday 11th December.

Enjoy your weekend

No Pens Day – Year 5!

We have had a lovely day in Year 5 making the most of the opportunities to work without pens!

We completed French activities based around describing feelings, listened and responded to music, made (rather fiddly) Christmas decorations for our school tree and completed a drama lesson this afternoon!

Our communication skills were used all day and the performances of the Wormy Spaghetti scene from The Twits this afternoon required lots of imagination and focus!

Keep your eye on your class’ Seesaw page for photos and videos.

No Pens Wednesday

In year 6, we have enjoyed using story prompts to create stories to share and act in front of the class. We also had great fun ‘speed meeting’ where we had to decide which questions to ask a friend to get to know them better before they moved on to the next person. We then had a debate to decide whether or not we would choose to have a Covid-19 vaccine.

Art in Year 5

The teaching of art and design at our school instils an appreciation and enjoyment of the visual arts. Year 5 children have certainly enjoyed their curriculum this term – exploring a range of mediums to help them communicate what they see through the elements of colour, texture, tone and pattern. Here are some examples…

Odd Socks Day and Anti-bullying Week

On Monday, if the children (and staff) would like to, they are invited to wear odd socks to school! We will be celebrating differences and appreciation of what makes us unique! In classrooms the children will spend the week focusing on anti-bullying and all of the wonderful ways we can make each other feel safe and happy.

Pudsey fun in Reception…

‘We bring money because children need some toys like me’.

‘It’s because all the children don’t have stuff so we get money’.

‘We raise money to help people and to keep children warm’

Remembrance in Reception

‘We wear poppies because of the soldiers, some of them died, but some didn’t.’

‘We’re thinking about the soldiers who were in the war and died. There are poppy wreaths. A man wrote a poem about the poppy fields and he saw some bright red poppies in a field when they’d finished fighting.’

‘It was scary for the animals in the war’.
