Headteacher’s Message 06.10.2023

We have had a lovely week, sharing kindness around school.  I’ve heard about some lovely activities and have seen lots of children using the buddy bench on the playground. Thank you to everyone who sent in a donation to support our NSPCC Kindness challenge, we raised £157.74.

Thank you to everyone who has booked their parent consultation for next week.  We are really looking forward to seeing you in school next week and sharing your children’s work. The booking system will be live until 12pm on Monday 9th October.  If you wish to book an appointment after this date then you will need to contact the office.

Mrs Thorpe, SENCO, will also be available to speak to parents regarding special educational needs.  If you wish to book an appointment to speak to her, please contact the office by phone or by A2190@taw.org.uk

For our Geography lesson this week we completed a travel survey of the traffic passing our school. We have been learning about our local environment and today we were focusing on the importance of taking survey’s. We saw lots of cars passing, some vans, 1 lorry and 1 bus. We were also very excited when we saw a Police Car drive past.

This week in school we have been celebrating ‘Diversity Week’. We have been taking part in lots of different activities such as; ‘Doodle of the Day’, where we listen to a selection of music from different cultures and spend a couple of minutes doodling to the music, we have been thinking about what kindness means to us, and also celebrating the diversity within our own class, thinking about what makes us special and unique.

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.
