With everyone having to stay at home again, we are very grateful that school is still open. This is our school family and we at least have the normality (a new normality) of our days full of laughter and learning.

The staff and I are so blessed to be able to witness so many of those small things that occur in the dinner hall and on the playground that makes lunchtimes such a special time of day. The acts of kindness, selflessness and compassion that is shown and shared so many times between the children so effortlessly, fills our hearts with joy on a daily basis. and this week has been no exception.
The playground has rung out with laughter, as games have been played, jokes shared and friends simply being together. Unicorns and vets have visited us this week, alongside a cone shop and the mighty power rangers! Super heroes with an array of special talents have been busy saving the day, whilst races have been won and tennis matches played. There is never a dull moment to be had!
Mr Nay has continued to deliver varying activities for all the children to enjoy. It is so lovely to see them beaming with achievement and joy during his sessions, along with their rosy cheeks!

Christmas, a time of Charity.
Its been a wonderful week for Mrs Webster, with her mask firmly in place she has visited all the school councillors to discover how they have been enjoying their role so far and to hear any feedback from their classes.
What an interesting time it is in school this month as we have all been thinking of how we can continue our Christmas tradition of raising money for local charities ( who, as we all know are struggling right now.) We have had to be very creative as obviously with the current restrictions we can only raise money within our classes, but that hasn’t stopped us, we have had some wonderful ideas - from a Santa dash in Christmas jumpers, to chasing Father Christmas for a mile around the field. Miss Hornby is very excited to hear our final ideas in the next week. ( check your class web page for updates.)

You will need an old, named t-shirt to go over your school uniform, to keep you clean during our ART lessons this half term. These will be kept in your tray’s in class and brought with you to each ART lesson.
Remember the Create room is a little chilly with the doors open so an extra layer on Art days is advisable. Thank you for your co-operation.
