Blog – 10th December 2021

This week, our assemblies were based on the theme of Mutual Respect and Tolerance  on Monday and we reviewed all our Character Education virtues.

Trust Carol Service

Choir worked really hard on Wednesday recording their 5 songs for the Trust Carol Service.  A green screen was used by Mr Stogdale, and he will combine our singing and readers with the work from the other academies. Thank you to parents and carers for ensuring the children were here on time and looking immaculate in their choir uniform. We look forward to seeing the final Carol Service which we will put on the website and social media.

Christingle

We undertook our Christingle service virtually on Monday.  Many thanks to Miss Riley for organising the service and Mrs Smuk and Mr Nixon for preparing choir. All the children watched and joined in with the service from their classrooms after making their Christingle.

Dates for your Diary

COVID update

Due to increased COVID cases, we ask that parents wear a face covering if speaking to staff, coming to Reception or attending any meetings.

We also ask that children do not bring Christmas cards into school again this year to share with their friends.

Many thanks for your co-operation in this matter.

Lunch Menu

The menu for week beginning 13th December is Week 1. Please see below.

If your child usually has a packed lunch, please inform the academy office ASAP if they would like a Christmas dinner on Friday 17th December.

Attendance

Congratulations to B3G who have won our Awesome competition this week with 97.1%.

Please remember to phone the academy if your child is going to be absent

Times Tables Rockstars

Practicing times tables is so important in improving maths and is a huge part of number work from Year 2 upwards. Please encourage your child to use their account to get as fast as they can which will help them be able to apply their knowledge to different areas of maths.

Congratulations to the highest coin collectors this week!
