Harvest Donations

Well, it is raining today, but that has certainly not dampened the generosity of our families, all of whom have brought in the children's donations towards our Harvest Festival celebrations. I have no doubt this will be well received at the local food bank, so thank you. 

The Reception children have been making some bread this week, which has occupied their focus, but also covered them, the staff and the floor in flour mix. I always think the amount of mess is a gauge as to how engaged the children were. There was certainly lots of kneading going on.

The Halloween disco took place on Wednesday and thanks must go to the PTFA and DJ Kev for organising and providing the entertainment respectively. Thank you to all staff and helpers who ensured everything ran smoothly. The costumes, masks and face paints were very spooky, so lots of thought had clearly gone into achieving this with parents at home. 

Next week, we have parent-teacher meetings so hopefully you have all received the relevant class links via Dojo to book in with the teachers. For convenience for all, these are either via telephone or virtual and specific face-to-face meetings will be arranged directly with the teachers should these be required on Thursday 22nd October. Additional SEND clinic meetings will be held after half-term for any parents of children with SEND who may require one.  These will be arranged with the SENDCOs. On Wednesday, we will be heading up to Church for our Harvest Festival, so we hope the weather will be nice and on Friday we will be holding our first Virtual Competition of the year with Premier Sports, so all children need to be in sports clothing on that day. We also have our Stay Safe: Speak Out workshops next week. 

Have a relaxing weekend everyone!
