Weekly Newsletter - 20/11/2020
Dear Parents,
We are very much looking forward to welcoming our Nursery children back into school on Monday and desperately hoping that we can have all our children in school between now and Christmas.
PLEASE DO NOT STOP/PARK ON THE ZIG ZAG LINES OUTSIDE OUR SCHOOL GATES-I HAVE HAD A REPORT OF ANOTHER NEAR MISS INVOLVING ONE OF OUR CHILDREN
I am putting this message on every week and whilst fewer parents are stopping here there are still a few who are totally ignoring my plea-We ALL have a responsibility to keep our children safe!

The Fiver Challenge - Year Six

Year six are participating this year in the Fiver Challenge, a national competition for children aged from 5 – 11 years. The Challenge is free and run by Young Enterprise (www.fiverchallenge.org.uk) the UK’s leading enterprise and financial education charity, helping young people to develop the skills they need for life and work. This will run after school for the next two weeks.
The Fiver Challenge offers your child the opportunity to set up a mini business with £5 and create a product or a service they can then sell/deliver at a profit.
The children are in full control of any profits they make and will decide what they would like to spend it on or donate to any charity.

Jamaica's Trip to Central Park
What a wonderful time the children in Jamaica class have had today. First we went to Central Park and had lots of fun playing on all the amazing equipment and then when we returned to school we enjoyed our picnic all together on the field.
The children's behaviour was exemplary at all times from walking nicely to the park, always holding the hand of a friend to helping each other on the equipment, "I am helping to push the swing" said Sebastian, "then we will swap over and Ashton will push me." What lovely turn taking!
Whilst having our picnic, the children chatted to each other about what was their favourite part of the afternoon:
Bella-Leigh - "I liked the swing the best cause it was going soooo high!"
Matteo - "The game was my favourite, the one where you needed to tap the colours."
Ashton - "The twirly slide was my favourite...it make me dizzy!"
Rose - "The swings were my favourite cause I could go as high as the clouds."
