Well done Years 3 and 4 for a fantastic Christmas Show

The children in Years 3 and 4 did a great job in our K.S.2 performance of Cinderella (the version told in the poem by Roald Dahl).
Lovely singing and acting! The costumes looked brilliant! Well done to everyone!
A big "Thank you" to Louise for her piano-playing,- and to Grandad Tim for his fantastic trombone!

Christmas jumpers on last day

 

It has come to our attention that tomorrow is causing some confusion as to whether children can wear jumpers or not. We are aware that tomorrow is a National charity day which highlights the wear of jumpers in support. We have chosen due to our three big fund raisers this term not to ask you to support this charity. We are also aware of many parents and children who wish to wear a jumper tomorrow and have been asking the class teams.

So, the simple is yes, jumpers can be worn, but we will not be collecting for charity. If you do wish to donate, then please use the website link highlighted in the press.

We apologise for the lateness and confusion, this event seems to have grown since last year, we will therefore be clearer next year with plenty of time to plan accordingly.

Also -Games are also allowed on the last day of term, named please and nothing expensive in case bits are lost!

Merry Christmas!

WELL DONE!

A HUGE well done Year 3 - a super performance - there are definitely some budding actors and actresses, as well as singers among you!
I hope you have all managed to be able to come along and see the performance - they are spectacular! The children will all need a good rest!
Well done, we are very proud of ALL of you!
Thank you to all of you too for the excellent costumes!

Finally a MASSIVE thank you to the Year 3 and 4 teams for all their hard work as "stage crew" and "set designers", as well as the excellent musicians too!

Well done again and thank you

Mrs. Johnson

DT competition results!

We had excellent DT entries brought into school on Friday for the DT Christmas competition. A particularly good amount of entries from the Reception class and Year 1 class, so well done to these two classes.

All entries were super, lots of thoughts had been placed into designs, clearly child participation in all entries and all were able to attach to the Christmas tree and look eye catching.

What was also pleasing to see was the good sportsmanship from all children, never mind if they ‘won’, it was super to see such kind hearts and congratulations being given to the winner with handshakes and pats on backs!

Each class had a winner:

Reception: Philippa Hoskin

Yr 1: Thomas Grant

Yr 2: Odette Mistry-Dyer

Yr 3: Millie Goldstone

Yr 4: Alex Mistry-Dyer

 

Well done to everyone and their family helpers for participating in the competition. These are now on display in the foyer area near the ‘big’ tree.

Friday 18th December

POW Carols – everyone welcome, come and join us singing carols, to begin in hall from 2.45pm.

Musicians – please dust off those old instruments you may have once played (like myself) and come on in and join the parents/ community group, we gather around the piano and offer our sounds to compliment (?!) the pianist and the school singing. We have simple music to follow; sight reading is an easy level. The children love seeing the adults who turn up and show off an instrument! Any qus, please pop by the office and come and see me.

Christmas Performance Costumes and Help on Christmas Technology Day

- Christmas Performance Costumes - and  - Help on Christmas Technology Day

Dear Parents (Year 3),
Just to remind you about the children bringing in their costumes for the Christmas Show a.s.a.p. (Our “Dress Rehearsal” is on Monday.) They should bring their costumes in a named plastic bag please. If you have any difficulties providing the costume, do please let us know.

If any of you would like to help out on our “Christmas Technology Day” this Friday (11^th) your help would be greatly appreciated at any point during the day. The children will be going to different classes in mixed-aged groups to take part in “making Christmassy things”.

Many Thanks,
Duncan MacBean

Home learning – Year 3 Europe Map Friday 4th December

Home learning – Year 3              Europe Map    Friday 4^th December

The children in Year 3 have been given a map of the outline of Europe. I would like them to find where some of the countries of Europe are and label these on the Map. They may also like to shade in some of the countries with different coloured pencils.

I do not want the children to do all of the countries as this would be really tricky. (There are 51 independent countries in total – depending on one’s definition of a “country”.) They should try to select some of them.

How about 15?

Many thanks,

Duncan MacBean

Musicians assembly -Monday 7th Dec

On Monday 7^th December it is our Musicians Christmas assembly at 10am in the school hall. This assembly gives all children who are learning instruments the opportunity to perform to an audience. Your child should have received a letter if they have been chosen to play. They therefore need to remember their music and instrument too!
