Attendance Winners

Well done to the whole of Year 3 for being the best class for attendance across the whole of KS2 for the whole of autumn term. We got 96.7% as a class. It shows how dedicated you all are to your learning. We also won the award for autumn half term (October 2019). Keep it up in 2020!

 Welcome back to school from Tuesday 7th January.The children will be doing 'Folk to Spade' this half term every Thursday afternoon (9.1.20-13.2.20). The children are able to come in their own clothes, on Thursday, as they will be outside during these sessions. Please send wellies in a separate bag for them to change into for the afternoon activity. 

 The children  made wooden Bambinelli's (figures of the baby Jesus) which are keepsakes for their Christmas present from Mrs Barnett and Dr Gould. We hope you have put them away for next Christmas.

Reminder

 We will then return reading books, homework and spellings on 7/1/20.

Please send in PE kits this week so we can start Gymnastics on Monday 13th.

Please put your child's name in any coat, hat, gloves and scarf as this will help when things go missing especially as this term can often be very cold.
