We’ve had a very busy half term, with a lot of visitors in and visits out of school to enhance our curriculum offer.  A huge well done to everyone who has represented school in sporting events this half term and thank you to Mr Mountford for organising all of these. On Monday this week, the school council delivered an assembly about respecting each other, ourselves and property and the sign language club demonstrated the skills they have learned with Mrs Lamerton this half term.  They were all brilliant.

A reminder for when we return after half term, that we are a nut free school.  We do have some children who have severe allergies and even contact with someone who has been touching or eating nuts can cause a reaction.  Please try to ensure that you do not send in products with nuts in for snack or lunchtime.  Thank you for your continued support with this.

Well done to everyone who has received a Headteacher Award this week:

We’ve had a fantastic healthy body, healthy mind week. On Monday, the lunchtime team had training in developing happy lunchtimes, looking at different activities and behaviour strategies. It was a fantastic day and after half term we will be making some changes to lunchtime activities. The safeguarding squad has delivered two assemblies about safer internet use. Thank you to everyone who has completed their parent questionnaire. They will use the results to plan future work on online safety.

Well done to everyone who has received a Headteacher’s award.  We had a lot to celebrate this week!

Last Friday, we took a group of 50 KS2 children to the Young Voices concert in Birmingham and it was an absolute pleasure to share the experience with them.  Their behaviour was exemplary, they threw themselves into the experience and they were all a real credit to the school. A huge thanks to the staff who gave up their Friday night to take them and to all the parents and carers who supported us.

Next week, we have our Healthy Body, Healthy Mind week which includes Children’s Mental Health Week and Safer Internet day and all classes will be taking part in a range of activities to support these themes. The theme for safer internet day this year, is making space for conversations about life online.  This is a really important focus this year, as we do experience issues in school that have started with online gaming or social media chat groups where children are confusing the virtual world with reality or behaving in a manner online that they would not do face to face.  The link below has some very useful parent resources to support conversations with your children about what they are doing when online.

We have had another busy week and managed to have get out and have some snow fun earlier in the week.  As always, when it snows, we do everything we can to remain open. In the unlikely event that school has to close, we will text parents (priority 1 contact) and post a message on our website and twitter.  Please let us know if your mobile number for the priority 1 contact has changed.

Again I have received very positive comments from the staff who have taken children swimming and to Arthog outreach this week.  The behaviour of the children has been fantastic.  Well done to everyone who has received a Headteacher Award this week:
