It is World Christmas Jumper Day on Friday 10th December so all the children are welcome to come into school in their Christmas jumper with their usual school skirt or trousers. Any donations can be given to your child’s class teacher on the day and will be gratefully received and donated to Springhill Hospice. Staff will be also be joining in and making their donations! We look forward to seeing some festive wear!

Thank you to all the children who applied for school council: the enthusiasm demonstrated by all was incredible. Each class were presented with their applicants and the children voted for a girl and a boy representative. We now have eight new School Council members. Congratulations!

Due to an increase in Covid cases we are asking that all parents wear a face mask when in and around school including the school playground. Thank you for your continued support.

We are now holding our annual elections for Head Boy and Head Girl. The three year 6 classes have each selected a boy and a girl to put forward. The classes have made posters and written speeches and the six candidates will be visiting all the classes to make their speeches, then all the children will get the opportunity to vote for their favourite candidate. The boys will be voted for on Friday and the girls will voted for the following week. Results will be announced when we have them! 

On the 1^st December 2021 the children in the Hearing Impaired Resource Base will have some visitors from the National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS). The National Deaf Children's Society is the leading charity for deaf children and young people. The NDCS will be visiting our school for the day with their own Roadshow Bus. The Roadshow Bus is also available after school (located on the school car park) and we invite the children’s parents to attend. This is an excellent chance for parents to see the latest technology, meet members of the NDCS, ask questions and gain valuable support.

If you would like to know more about what the Roadshow Bus offers, then feel free to follow the link:

On Wednesday 1st December the school photographer (Tempest) will be in school to take photographs of the children. Please ensure children come in their school uniform. Year 1 and Year 4 will also need to come in their school uniform and will be doing PE in their uniform on that day. Thank you.

Here are the results for the TT Rockstars for this week. Please note these are weekly averages rather than competition scores.

Well done everyone!

Year 6 have been looking at artwork from artist Frida Kahlo who was considered one of Mexico's greatest artists. She was famous for her sugar skull paintings and the children have been using clay to make their own skulls based on her work.

Here are some pictures of the children working on their sculptures.
