The school has been busy since half term collating items to fill shoe boxes to send as part of our response to the needs of others at Christmas time.
Our boxes will be going to Romania, where we hope they will bring some of the joy and hope that Christmas is all about.

At the going down of the sun
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

A time to remember
This week we begin our annual focus on remembrance. This is when we take time to reflect on memories that are important to us, but also to consider the difference and the sacrifice made by men and women who have served our country in the field of conflict.
Our main displays in the corridor reflect this and also exhibit our recent work as part of a multi faith response to the history and significance of the 1st World War. Our focus was the distribution of John's Gospels to all serving soldiers and a group of children have worked together with staff over the past few weeks to put a very imaginative presentation together. The tree and the banner that are on display in our corridor are the outcome of their work.

A Pirate's life for me
Today we were treated to a wonderful assembly all about PIRATES, by class 1/2F.
They enthralled us with their stories of different pirates, their costumes, flags and their wanted posters!
A wonderful rendition of the well known pirate song - the day I went to sea, wrapped up the assembly and a final pirate roar brought the proceedings to a conclusion.
Well done to all the staff and children involved and many thanks to parents for the wonderful array of costumes.
Foundation artistic expression
This week FS2 were set the challenge for homework of creating a piece of art related to Bonfire
night or Diwali. Some excellent results!
It was also great to see a new display appear in the classroom - a funny bones display - using the skeletons they had created with art
straws.
