Mr Moore's News Update
Dear parents and carers,
It was a pleasure to see so many of you this week at parents' evening on Tuesday and Wednesday. It was evident that there were rich conversations about all aspects of development and celebrating achievements thus far. I hope you left feeling well informed heading towards the Christmas break. If you were unable to secure an appointment but still wish to meet with the class teacher then please email into the office to arrange a suitable time and date. We apologise to parents of 4SM who had booked in for Tuesday, sadly Mr Smith was unwell but we hope that you are able to make the rearranged slots for next Tuesday instead. We will do all we can to ensure you all get seen before the Christmas break.
We are heading full steam towards Christmas and we hope you are all able to join us for our celebrations. We are very thankful that St Andrew's Church have been able to accommodate some of our performances. Please do check the date, time and location of your child's performance so as not to arrive in the wrong place, we know how much these performances and celebrations mean to the children.
Yours sincerely and have a lovely weekend,
Mr Moore

Competition Rules
Students are invited to sign up with their class teacher to take part in this year’s talent show!
Perform solo or team up with up to 4 friends.
Each year group will hold a heat to select the top three acts, who will then advance to the final on 18th December.
Please think carefully about your choice of music or type of performance. While we can accommodate a variety of acts, space is limited, and props must be reasonably sized.
We can’t wait to see the amazing talents our students will share!

#WakeUpWednesday is a campaign by the National Online Safety organisation. It's designed to help parents and carers stay informed about the latest online trends and platforms that their children might be using.
Every Wednesday, a new guide or resource is released, offering simple tips and advice on how to keep children safe online. These guides cover a range of topics, from popular apps and games to general online safety issues like cyberbullying and privacy. The goal is to start a conversation between adults and children about staying safe in the digital world.
We will upload these guides/resources here every week.
