Dear All,

Thank you to the PTA for the disco on Friday everyone had a good time and they raised over £300 for your children.

Well done to the Gymnastics squad who had a great time at the competition on Friday.

Also well done to the Map Quest teams who enjoyed the challenges they were set in Manor Park.

Today is house challenge afternoon. This is one of the children’s favourite afternoons when they organise themselves in their houses to complete as many of the challenges as they can.

We finish for half term today with the children returning to school on Monday 30th October.

That first week back is very busy with;

 the rescheduled cross country on Monday 30th
 Bag 2 school on Tuesday. This is an opportunity for you to get rid of any old textiles and shoes, the company will recycle them and give us money for school fund – win, win. In fact I need to have a sort out myself. Please bring your bags of textiles and leave them under the porch on Tuesday.
 Sports Award Evening on Wednesday when the Prime Minister, Deputy prime Minister and Chancellor will pick up our Gold award.
 NSPCC in on Friday 3rd to work with the children on their Speak out Stay Safe project. This means there will be no family assembly that day.
 Football League matches after school on Friday.

Tuesday 31st is Halloween or the Christian Festival of All Hallows Eve which many families celebrate. The police have asked me to remind you about keeping the children and the community safe. If you choose to allow your children to trick or treat please make sure they are accompanied by an adult and only go to people they know. Many older people get very anxious about people knocking on their door after dark, especially if they are dressed up and have their face covered. Please do not go to any house which has not signalled that they are open to visitors e.g. they have a pumpkin in the window.

I hope many of you had the chance to meet our school Governors whilst you were here for parent’s evening. If you didn’t meet them they asked me to pass on their greetings. They were also asking parents to fill in the parent view survey which can be found at https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk please do take the time to do this.

Have a lovely half term.
