Bloom's British Icon Workshops 

 

Coming up this week we have our Bloom's British Icon morning workshops for all our pupils across the school. The whole school has been divided into 6 groups and will have an opportunity to take part in the 6 workshops over the 3 mornings. 

 

Pupils know which group they are in and know when they need to come to school ready in their PE kits for the Mo Farah Workshop (don't worry we will text parents when your child needs to come to school in their PE kit) 

 

Parents are invited to join me during our learning walk on Wednesday 23rd October from 9am - 10am. Photographs will be posted on the school website and on both Twitter and Instagram. 

 

We can't wait! 

 

 

A call has gone out for schools to join a fund-raiser for potentially life-saving treatment for Oscar Saxelby-Lee. Oscar’s school in Worcester has asked all schools to hold an ‘Oscar Day’ with pupils wearing non-uniform day for a £1-per-person donation. The major fund-raising drive was launched after it was discovered the brave five-year-old’s cancer had returned just months after successful stem-cell treatment. We will holding our ‘Oscar Day’ on Thursday 24th October.

 

As we aiming to become a ‘cash-less school’ we would urge anyone that is able to make their donation directly. Visit https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com or https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Team/HandinHandforOscar and search for Hand in Hand for Oscar for more information.

Harvest Festival

Thank you to all our families that filled St John’s church this morning and made our service so special. 

The pupils decorated the church with their harvest art work, sung a selection of Harvest theme songs and read a range of Harvest poems. 

Thank you for all the Aldi stickers that have been sent in, we have now completed our first poster of 300 stickers. Please keep sending them in though as we have a second poster to fill. We still have a month to reach our target of two posters to send off at the beginning of November.
