Community Ambassador News

As part of our partnership with St Raphael’s Hospice we would love the children to make Christmas Cards, at home, to send to the residents there.

The theme for the cards this year is ‘Lights’.

Please post your finished cards in the Red Post Box in Reception by Friday 10th December.

We hope you have as much enjoyment from making them as the residents will get from receiving them.

We cannot wait to see the wonderful designs you come up with!

The Community Ambassador Team

Christmas Cards/Stationery Fundraiser

If you wish to order any of these items, please complete the form on the back of the design and return it to your child’s class teacher by FRIDAY 12TH NOVEMBER.


Please support the school by ordering!

This Week's Personal Learning Goal...

To be a thinker

I aim to...

  • reflect on my strengths and weaknesses to inform next steps in my learning

  • reflect on where I have been successful in my learning

  • imagine solutions to problems

  • use the ideas of others for inspiration

  • ask questions to extend my learning
