We were very lucky this afternoon to get a visit from Father Christmas! He came and gave everybody a lovely gift to take home with them. We then finished the afternoon with our annual Christmas party.
School was full of spots and colour today, as the children wore their spots with pride, in aid of Children in Need. They all looked superb!
The children created some wonderful outfits and the staff had the tricky job of deciding a winner from each year group.
Thank you for your continued support and donations, we raised a ‘spotacular’ £45.50. This money will go directly to Children in Need in order to help those children less fortunate than ourselves.
Our week commenced with a very informative and enjoyable visit from Kate and her team from The Guide Dogs. They were also joined by Bree and Lilibet, who were extremely well behaved guide dogs. The children explored the impact blindness can have upon your life – they experienced total darkness in a sensory tent and with blindfolds. They also enjoyed learning about the vital work The Guide Dogs do to help make a difference.
Thank you to all those who brought their amazing pets to see us in school this week – the children were captivated by them. We had a wide range of visitors from dogs and cats to a pony!
Throughout the week, the children have enjoyed learning about their pets and a wide range of animals. They also enjoyed completing various animal themed arts & crafts activities. This has been an amazing week. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a truly memorable experience for the children.
Our Pet Week concluded with the children celebrating in non-uniform and making some delicious animal biscuits. Thank you for your kind donations, which will help The Guide Dogs continue their important work.
On Friday 10th October, our Wellbeing Warriors planned, organised and led a day of exciting activities to promote the importance of wellbeing. We wore bright colours to represent positivity, learned some new breathing techniques in assembly, learned about how the brain works and took part in some fun crafts in the afternoon, supported by our pupil leaders.
It was lovely to see so many of you in church this morning for our Leavers Service. It was wonderful to see the wide range of achievements being acknowledged (sports, academic progress, creativity, courtesy, music, determination, perseverance, behaviour, outstanding team spirit and many more). Our overall Sports Day winners this year were St Andrew’s – well done!

The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves at Whitehough; it was a wonderful day and we all managed to stay dry! It is always amazing to watch the children working together and helping each other to solve problems. We were very proud of all the children and especially those who overcame their fear of heights on the crate stack challenge and leap of faith. The children also enjoyed the obstacle course, survival skills (toasting marshmallows) and archery. Thank you to all the staff for organising such a wonderful day and for actively participating within the events.
Thank you to all those who were able to join us in school yesterday for our VE Day celebrations. It was lovely to see families sharing precious time together reflecting upon the significant sacrifice made by others. A special thank you to all those who very kindly donated cakes and snacks for the celebration – they were delicious! I would also like to thank all those families who donated money in our FORS donation box – thank you.
