Good afternoon,

What a wonderfully busy week it’s been here at school! Our corridors have been full of energy and creativity, with lots of exciting learning taking place. Year 5 impressed everyone with their fantastic parent assembly on Baghdad - a real celebration of their hard work and confidence. Across the school, children have been immersed in Design Technology projects, showing brilliant teamwork and innovation.

As we reach the end of this half term, I’d like to say a huge thank you to all our staff, children and families for your continued support and enthusiasm. It’s been a productive few weeks and everyone has certainly earned a well-deserved rest.

Wishing you all a lovely, relaxing half term - enjoy the autumn colours and time with family. We look forward to seeing everyone back, refreshed and ready for more learning adventures on Monday 3rd November. 🍃🍂✨

This year, each half term we will be focusing on one of our school values. For this half term, our value is Love, with the scripture “Love your neighbour” (Matthew) guiding our reflections and actions.

Collective Worship Reflection – Respect | Peace

Collective Worship Focus
This week in collective worship, we have been reflecting on the 80th anniversary of the United Nations, an organisation set up in 1945 after the Second World War to help countries work together and prevent future conflicts. Today, 193 nations are members and the UN plays a vital role in areas such as peacekeeping, human rights, health, and climate change.

As we think about the importance of working together to solve global problems, we have also linked this to the Bible’s teaching on peace. The Bible reminds us that those who strive to bring peace are following God’s wishes for a more peaceful world. We have been considering what it means to be a true peacemaker - someone who works to avoid conflict and builds good relationships with others.

Please find attached the key school dates for the academic year 2025–2026.

While we have planned carefully, some dates may be subject to change.

We wanted to share these with you early so that parents and carers have as much notice as possible.

As always, please continue to monitor your child’s Class Dojo, where any updates or changes will be shared promptly.

Thank you for your continued support.

Please find attached the information regarding taking holidays during the school term. This guidance is provided to school from the Local Authority. We will keep this item on the newsletter as a standing item and as a reminder to all families.

I would like to remind families that if they are choosing to take a holiday during term time that they ensure that they notify school that they are absent with the genuine reason for absence. It is important that we know this for safeguarding matters.

Kind Regards,

Mr Robinson

Our school expectation is that pupils will read 5 times per week.

This is monitored by staff in school and at the end of each half term, pupils who have consistently read will be rewarded for their tremendous effort.

If any parents require support getting logged into 'Boom Reader' can access this each Wednesday morning at the start of the school day.

Thanks,

Mrs Roberts
