Well, what a great job our reception, years 1,2 and 3 children did performing this year's nativity! We hope you all enjoyed the performances! Thank you to everybody who helped to make this happen and to you all for being a great audience.

We are keen to gather your feedback once again and would be grateful if you could click on the link found on the School Spider app.  Many thanks.

A few weeks ago we welcomed Paul Dorkings into school to present the project 'Make sense of pence'. 

Year 4, 5 and 6 thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and found it incredibly educational. They had so many questions which was fantastic to see. 

We are extremely grateful to Paul for his time and delighted that we have secured every pupil in Year 4, 5 and 6 a copy of the activity book!

Thank you very much, Paul!

Book club - there will be a maximum of 15 children on a first come first served basis. There will also be a requirement to purchase the book that the children will be reading; the link to buy will be sent to you via a book club group message on the school spider app so please make sure you still have the app downloaded.

Young Voices will take place on Tuesday 9th January as a last practice before the concert on Friday 12th. Any YV children wishing to do Book club can sign up and start in week 2 as Young Voices takes priority in week 1.

The Spring cross country races at the Vineyards (years 4-6) will take place on Thursdays 8th, 22nd and 29th February and there will be a practice at school on 1st February. 

On Monday 18th - Year 4, 5 and 6 will be singing a selection of festive songs and performing some Christmas poems and readings at St Mary Magdalene's Church.

The performance will start at 6pm. The children should arrive from 5.40pm to be ready for the performance.

These start on Thursday 11th January and run every Thursday in terms 3 and 4 (10 weeks). Please can all children come to school in warm PE kit (as changing is easier) and bring swimming costume/shorts, towel and goggles in a drawstring bag.

We need two parent helpers each week to assist with changing. Please email Mrs Bowen as soon as possible so we can form a rota. We particularly welcome those with a current school DBS certificate but can apply for one for you given time to acquire the relevant documents from you and send them for processing.

Please remember that all school dinner account balances should be in credit on parentpay at all times. Many thanks.

Due to increasing numbers, it has been necessary for us to find a new venue for our residential. We are delighted to have found a wonderful centre with excellent accomodation and very large grounds. It is the Noah's Ark Children's Venture, Macaroni Wood, near Cirencester : https://www.macaroniwood.org.uk/  We will have sole use of the centre and all facilities. Letters to children in Years 3&4 will follow shortly.
