Paralympian Visit

The School Councillors started the week off by visiting the Tree Festival at St Swithun's Church and the Star & Nativity Festival at The Grove and Methodist Centre.  They completed trails and quizzes and listened to the organ being played.  There was even a treat of juice and biscuits which was very well received.

On Wednesday, we held our Winter Disco. The children who attended had a wonderful time.  There were some brilliant dance moves on show!

 

 

On Thursday, our Year 6 children had the opportunity to meet and train with a Paralympian.  Maddie Thompson has competed as a Paralympian in women's wheelchair basketball.  She led PE sessions and spoke to the children, reminding them that 'Being DIFFERENT is a good thing'.

Christmas Toy Collection – We are once again supporting the Children's Toy Collection.  If you would like to donate a new toy, please can toys be brought to school by Thursday 4th December

Reminders – We have our first Christmas Jumper Day on Monday 1st December. Please donate a Christmas hamper item, if you are able to. 

 

Congratulations to all of our Stars of the Week for proudly displaying our RESPECT values: Resilience, Effort, Support, Passion, Enrichment, Compassion and Teamwork.
