Please join us at the allotment for an afternoon of winter wreath making. This will be a relaxing session with refreshments provided. There will be a separate session for children. Pre-booking is essential as there are a very limited number of places. The event will take place on Saturday 6th December 2-3.30pm.
As part of our commitment to being a school that promotes active and healthy lifestyles, we have linked with Junior Parkrun. This takes place every Sunday at the War Memorial Park. We will be inviting families to join us there as part of a school group on the last Sunday of every month in term time. Following the children’s run, you will be welcome to come back to school to join us for sausage and vegetarian sausage sandwiches, pastries and hot drinks. Our first session will be on Sunday 30th November. We will be sending a form out to ask if you are intending to come and if you hope to come back to school for refreshments. This will help the PTA with buying the food.
Congratulations to our dodgeball team who participated in a School Games event this week. They played extremely well against some very strong oppositions and were delighted to be awarded third place medals. Well done!

Congratulations to our football team who had a fantastic result this week with a 6-1 win at All Souls. Many thanks to Mr Gascoyne for organising the event.
Following on from parent consultations, we are in the process of developing a new school website. This will include a new format of the newsletter which will make it easier to read on a range of devices. We are hoping that this will go live soon after half term. We will keep you updated.
We are delighted to announce that the Scholas-tic Travelling Book Fair will be in school from Wednesday 5th November until Wednesday 19th November.
Having a book shop in school is always an ex-citing event for the children– each class will have the opportunity to visit the book shop and the children will be able to browse and buy books with their classmates during the school day. Please look out for a separate letter with more information- money raised by the book fair enables school to purchase more books for class libraries. Thank you in advance for your support with these additional events.
Our robotics teams have made a fantastic start to the new sea-son. They have participated in two VEX IQ tournaments - one at The Cotswolds School and one at Landau Forte College, Derby. The judges were im-pressed with all our teams who have scored very highly. Well done for teamwork, resilience and creativity.
A huge thank you to our Primary Plot and our allotment team who
have grown many pumpkins for our Reception children. This year
the children have been able to have their very own pumpkin hunt
in the school garden, counting the pumpkins and were even allowed to each take one home! They have also been able to sort them, describe them, hammer them, paint them and see the inside of them!
Our Year 6 pupils have had a fantastic week of outdoor adventurous learning at Coventry’s residential centre Dol-Y-Moch in Wales. They have taken part in wide range of exciting activities including kayaking, mountain climbing, beach exploration
and orienteering. The children not only had a fantastic week but also were resilient, respectful and took responsibility. We are very proud of them.
