Year 2 PE – 13/10/23

Year 2 had great fun doing dance for PE when the rain interrupted their outdoor PE session!

School Car Park 13th October

The school car park is for staff, visitors and blue badge holders only.  Parents and Carers should not be parking on site for the normal school day drop off and collection without the blue badge.  If you are parking in a disabled bay, then please ensure your blue badge is on show when you leave the car.

When dropping off for breakfast club and collecting from after school clubs, please ensure you use the one way system on the car park and avoid parking in the disabled bays.  The entrance to the car park is quite narrow and there have been some near misses lately.  We want to ensure that our staff and children can get into school safely.

Thank you for your continued support.

Operation Sceptre Art Competition – West Mercia Police (06.10.2023)

Operation Sceptre Art Competition

West Mercia Police are holding an art competition for schools as part of Operation Sceptre. They are asking children to design a poster. Details for the theme for each age group are as follows:

Age 4-8: Design a poster about The Police and Safety.

Age 8-11: Design a poster with a slogan or artwork with the theme of ‘Anti knife crime’.

The prizes are £50 in vouchers to the winner and £25 in vouchers to the runner up of each age group. The winning art work will be displayed at Malinsgate Police Station initially, then around the borough with partner agencies.

If your child is interested in entering the competition, their design should be on a piece of A4 paper (please ask your child’s teacher if you would like a blank piece), and write their name, school and age on the back. All entries should be returned to school by Monday 6th November so that we can get them back before the closing date.
