We began this week with our KS2 Instrument Concert. I would like to say a huge well done to all of the KS2 children for their beautiful singing and their efforts when playing musical instruments. This was a lovely event and a great way to start the week. I would like to say thank you to Mrs Williams for organising this event and to Reverend Nicky for letting us use the Church.
On Wednesday we had our Christmas Fair, I would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Rawling and the PTA for organising and running this event. It was lovely to see so many of you attend this event, we hope you all enjoyed it.
Next week is set to be another exciting week with lots more Christmas events including: EYFS/KS1 Nativity, KS2 Carol Concert, Christmas dinner, Christmas Jumper Day and Christmas Parties. This will hopefully be a fun way to end the term.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Mrs H Penning

Reminder - We are a Nut Free School
Can we please remind you we are a nut free school.
We have several children who have very serious nut allergies that can develop into a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. For this reason all nut-based products are not allowed on the school grounds.
An allergic reaction or anaphylaxis can occur as a result of digestion, inhalation or any other contact with nut-based products. Please remember to check the labels of all food and even if it says may contain nuts, then please do not send that food product into school.
For example:
• Spreads, e.g. chocolate spreads like Nutella
• Cereal bars
• Biscuits
• Cakes containing nuts
• Condiments e.g. sauces
Please note, if a member of staff notices a pupil eating a nut product, the product will be removed politely and they will explain why this has been done.
We thank you for your ongoing support and co-operation regarding this matter.

The holiday season is a time for celebration, relaxation and spending well-earned time with loved ones. While this period will hopefully be calm, it’s important that parents and educators acknowledge there are still things we can do to make these weeks as safe as possible for the young people in our care.
Of course, it’s not immediately obvious what can or should be done to stay safe over the festive season. This free guide offers expert advice on the steps you can take to enjoy a less fraught winter break, safeguarding any youngsters who might be present for the celebrations.
