• Merry Christmas

  Fri 22 Dec 2023 Mr Hopkinson

  I just want to wish you all a merry Christmas and I hope 2024 is a year filled with good health, joy and happiness for you and your families.

   

  I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and your children during the autumn term and I really appreciate the warm welcome and kindness you have shown to me. I appreciate there have been some slight changes to certain processes since September, but please know that these, and any future ones, are made with the school’s, children’s and your best interests at heart.

   

  Today is Christmas Jumper Day (number 3!) and the children have enjoyed taking part in lots of Christmas activities and will be tucking into their Christmas dinner too. They have also had a very special visitor to their classes - Santa has been to deliver some books to each class. As you can imagine, we had some very excited children (and staff) - thank you, Santa!

   

  Here’s to a wonderful 2024 for everyone involved with Ordsall Primary School.

  

• Christmas time

  Fri 15 Dec 2023 Mr Hopkinson

  Christmas is nearly here and everyone at Ordsall has fully embraced the festive spirit! So far this month we have had two Christmas jumper days, the school is decorated with tinsel, lights and Christmas trees, and Nativities have been performed for parents. Everyone is very much looking forward to Christmas dinner day next week, Christmas parties, another Christmas Jumper Day and many more festive activities!

   

  This week also saw some of our choir visit Retford Oaks for their Christmas Cabaret. It was such a lovely experience and it was great to see some past pupils of Ordsall performing.

   

  Lastly, I'd like to wish a merry Christmas to all of our wonderful school community. Your ongoing support during the autumn term has been incredible and is greatly appreciated by everyone at school. I hope you all manage to have some special family time together over the festive break.

  

• A week of celebrations

  Fri 08 Dec 2023 Mr Hopkinson

  There has been lots to celebrate this week! Firstly, I am incredibly proud of our year 6 children who worked so hard to complete the Drug, Alcohol and Resilience Training (DAaRT) programme, with one of the children saying, 'We are the future'. Well done children!

   

  Also, this week has seen our year 2 children perform their Nativity, A Twinkly Nativity, to their parents and families. The children were fantastic, with plenty of singing and dancing, and the odd joke thrown in too. Seeing the smiling faces on the audience's faces says it all. Great work everyone!

  

• Ordsall community does it again!

  Fri 01 Dec 2023 Mr Hopkinson

  I feel incredibly proud this week after witnessing the immense kindness and generosity of our wonderful school community.

   

  Working closely with the Nottinghamshire Fire Service, we have been collecting donations of toys and books in support of Women's Aid. When the fire service came to collect the donations, they were astounded by the number of items donated.

   

  On behalf of everyone at Ordsall Primary School and the Nottinghamshire Fire Service, I would like to say a huge 'thank you' to everyone that supported this amazing cause.
