Dear Families

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! That’s it… we’ve reached the end of Spring 1 and are looking forward to all of the exciting things that we have planned in Spring 2 but first… a half-term holiday.

Assembly

Monday was our termly celebration assembly! A highlight at our school. A huge well done to all of our children who achieved a golden ticket, certificate, badge or phone call home! Our proud points are now firmly embedded in our school life (like our house points) and it is lovely to see how hard the children are working for them. A special well done to this terms’ Community Champions – children who have been recognised by their peers and selected by their adults for consistently showing our school values and rules! We are very proud of them.

Year 3 and Purple Class Assembly

Today we were treated to an extra special assembly by Year 3 and Purple Class. They sang, danced and performed amazingly. It is so wonderful to see all of their hard work come to fruition. Another brilliant year group assembly with very few dry eyes. Thank you to Katie and Lottie, from Limelight Theatre, for supporting us with our dancing.

Year 6 - Young Citizen Scheme

On Tuesday, Year 6 had a fantastic opportunity to visit the Deco Theatre and participate in an event run by the Young Citizen Scheme. The aim of this event was to heighten awareness of personal safety and promote community awareness and responsibility.

As part of the trip, children participated in six workshops and watch a drama performance which will covered:

• Fire and water safety
• Road and rail safety
• Substance misuse
• Hate crime
• Crime prevention
• Healthy relationships

It was a really successful trip and complemented our PSHE curriculum brilliantly. The children’s behaviour was also exemplary and they were a credit to their families and our school.

House Event

After a wonderful half term, it was brilliant to end with a House Event – our annual book and biscuit! Throughout the afternoon, children from the different houses joined together to share books and biscuits with each other. There was laughter and the joy of story was evident. Thank you to our House Leaders, Captains and Sarah Halsall who made the event happen so smoothly. Our House Events really support our sense of community and belonging.

Saints Shirt Presentation

On Saturday Daisy and Jansen went to Franklins Gardens where we had a very special shirt presented to us to mark the close partnership and work we do with the Saints. Thank you to Mrs Linnell for organising and overseeing such a memorable and important event.

Fundraising!

Our FEHPS BINGO event raised a staggering £680 - thank you to all of our families for supporting these important events – every penny donated will support your child’s education in some way.

So, that’s it for Spring 1… see you on Tuesday 25th February (we have a training day on the 24th). Have a lovely break and I look forward to hearing all of the holiday stories when the children return.
