We all enjoyed the visit from the author Adam Guillain
on Wednesday. He shared stories with the children and demonstrated in the
workshops how story telling can enhance writing. Assembly stories may never be
the same again! We have focused on National Book Week throughout the school
with the children engaged in many activities related to books and stories based
upon the theme of heroes; they have all enjoyed dressing as their hero for a
day.
Thank you to everybody who contributed to the
Harvest Festival collection. We collected an amazing eleven boxes of food for
the ‘Open Door’ charity which have now been collected. Your support was greatly
appreciated by the charity. We were pleased to welcome Mr Fellows to lead the
Harvest Festival assembly.
Well done to the Learners of the Week,
we are very proud of you all.

Bag2School Clothing Collection Monday 8thOctober 2012
Please return your bag filled with your unwanted textiles to the front of the school, by 9am this Monday 8th October, for our clothing collection.
Remember you can fill it with any unwanted
textiles - this can include adults’ and children’s clothes, shoes (tied
together please), hats, belts, bags, soft toys, curtains and bedding (not
duvets or pillows). If you fill the donation bag and still have more, then you
can use any other bag to donate your items. Don’t forget to ask grandparents,
friends and neighbours to have a sort out as well!
For every kg of textiles donated we will
receive 50p and as well as raising funds for our school, we will also be
helping the environment by diverting unwanted textiles away from landfill.
Many thanks indeed for helping us with this
unique fundraising opportunity.
