POKEMON CARDS

The children have been bringing their Pokemon cards into

school to play with at playtimes, but unfortunately we have

had a number of incidents linked to Pokemon cards and

this week there was a nasty attack on a child over

Pokemon Cards.

For this reason the children will no longer be able to bring

their Pokemon cards to school to play with at playtime.

They may still be taken to Twilight.

REMEMBRANCE SERVICE

Thank you very much to the

PLT who helped to lead the

Remembrance Service at the

Chapel-on-the Hill on Sunday.

The children planned the

service with Marie and led

many aspects of it, including

teaching the congregation

one of the songs we sing in worship. Father Kevin also

attended as it was decided this was the service where the

children could get more involved. We look forward to

continuing to work with Father Kevin and Marie for future

church services.

GOOD WORK WORSHIP

Congratulations to Year 3 who did an amazing Good Work

Worship on Wednesday. They shared with us so much

learning from Circus School, which the children had

thoroughly enjoyed, to Ancient Egypt and the gruesome

mummification process, to their new topic about the

Rainforest. All of the children spoke confidently and sang

their very amusing mummification song with enthusiasm.

Well done Year 3.

I look forward to seeing the fantastic learning that Year 2

have been doing next Wednesday at 9:05 am. Parents and

family are invited to attend.

CHILDREN IN NEED

Thank you to everyone that supported Children-in-Need

today. The children looked great in their colourful clothes

and Pudsey themed items of clothing. A big thank you to

everyone who supplied cakes and biscuits as well. We will

let you know how much we raised next week. THANK YOU!

CHRISTMAS DINNER

We are having our school Christmas Dinner on Tuesday

18th December; this is also our Christmas Jumper Day.

If you would like your child to have Christmas Dinner on this

day then it needs to be ordered using ParentPay by

Wednesday 5th December. As every school is able to

select on which day they have their Christmas Dinner it is

not possible to put the Christmas Dinner Menu on

ParentPay’ so I have attached a copy of the menu.

If your child would like the Roast Turkey select main and if

they would like the Quorn Roast select vegetarian. The

jacket potato and baguette options are not available on

this day so please don’t order these.

If you don’t have access to your ParentPay account you

will need to ask Mrs Hardes for an activation code.

Have a lovely weekend.

WORSHIP THEME - ANTI-BULLYING WEEK Choose Respect

This week in worship we have been thinking about the Anti

-Bullying Week theme of Choose Respect. The children

wore odd socks on Monday and thought about the words

of the Odd Sock song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of5CxXz662Y

We looked at all of our odd socks and how this made us all

look very different, but in fact we are all the same. The

children were encouraged to see what is the same about

us and use this to be friends and unite rather than focussing

on what is different. We thought about how you can either

focus on the fact that you support a different football team

and see that as negative or celebrate the similarity that

you both like football.

We also talked bout how we can be scared of new and

different things, like different foods, but actually sometimes

we end up really liking them if we give them a try. We

need to give new people a chance before making up our

minds we don’t like them because they look different.

On Thursday afternoon each of the classes shared some of

their work and learning from Anti-Bullying Week. Reception

made masks to turn them into Anti-Bullying super heroes

championing kindness, Y1 made a beautiful patchwork

piece of art work celebrating what was different and the

same about the children in their class. They were

encouraged to see the beauty in difference. Y2 designed

their own socks and celebrated their differences. They also

shared some books they had read about being kind. Y5

took this a step further by adding top tips to their socks on

how to deal with bullying. Y4 and Y3 shared some poems

they had created about the effects of bullying and last but

not least Y6 created some detailed PowerPoints with Anti-

Bullying quizzes.

Finally the children were reminded that choosing respect is

not just about Anti-Bullying week, but it is a life choice and

something that they need to do each and every day.
