Live in Faith, learn in love together
Dear Parents,
School Prayer Book - November
We offer our prayers and thoughts this month to: Mrs
Grogan recovering from her operation and Mrs
Collette Leake who continues to undergo treatment
and all the special people on our Remembrance
Wall.
Remember these special people in your prayers
during November.
The Month of Remembrance - reminder
As mentioned over the past month, the photographs
will be added to the display and returned at the end
of the month, so please write your child’s name on
the back of anything that you send in. The names will
also be transferred into our School Prayer Book
displayed in the entrance foyer. As always, if you
would like to come and view the display please come
through to the main office. I am sure it will prove to
be a spiritually moving display of everyone we have
lost but remains so special to us.
‘Don’t be sad about people who die…
they will all live again with God’
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18))
We need you!
We are desperate now for someone to be available to
make toast each Thursday morning. If you are
available PLEASE let the office know.
Attendance & Punctuality
We are proud of our attendance and see great value
in children attending school on a regular basis.
Attendance this week was won by Year 5 who had
98.2% and Years 5 and Year 6 has won the award for
punctuality with only 2 lates each
throughout the whole week. Each week
any class who have achieved 100%
attendance are rewarded with a nonuniform day the following Friday.

Fire Drill
The whole school took part in a fire drill on Monday
morning. The school was evacuated in just over 2
minutes, which is excellent. Well done to everyone
involved in ensuring our school is a safe place.
School Council Christmas Fair
This year the school council are organising the
Christmas Fair. There will be a range of stalls, with
things to buy and games to win prizes. They do need
your help and would hope that you could send in:
 Toys, books, bric-a-brac and games
 Filled jam jars (containing small gifts,
sweets etc.)
 A non-uniform day on Thursday, 4th
December, when KS1 would kindly send in
Cakes, Years 3/4 chocolates and Years
5/6 a bottle for the tombola stalls.
Christmas Lunch
This year’s Christmas lunch will take place on
Thursday, 11th December, at a cost of £1.70. A
letter with a reply slip was sent out yesterday and we
your replies by Wednesday, 3rd December.

Extra-Curricular Clubs
These are the clubs on offer during the Autumn Term.
Please encourage your child to get involved. All clubs
finish at 4pm. If you are going to late collecting
your child, please telephone school to avoid them
being placed in the After-school club which would
then incur a charge.
