Welcome back, what a busy week we have had, we have been practising our class assembly every day. We are excited for you to watch us on Tuesday. I have been very impressed with the children learning their lines, and they have been working hard on making sure their voices are loud and clear, they have been brilliant!
As it was All Saints Day on Tuesday, we have been inspired by the Saints, we learnt about a different Saint each day: Saint Clare, Saint Pio, Saint Frances, Saint Martin and Saint Therese. We attended Mass on Tuesday to celebrate all the Saints . The children sat and sang beautifully and it was lovely to hear positive comments from other members of the church about our children.
The children are enjoying their phonics sessions and are making good progress, keep reading lots at home and please remember to bring reading folders in every day.
Today we discussed Fireworks and Bonfire Night and how we can all stay safe, we were excited to have Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 together. We enjoyed our creative activities and we learnt a poem!

In Art we learnt about Andy Goldsworthy and how he uses the environment to create his own art work. We went outside and created some wonderful art using resources we found outside.
Let’s Celebrate:
Well done to these children for super listening during our assembly practise, they know their lines, when to come on the stage and have supported the children around them.
Have a lovely weekend with Henry :).
Reminders:
Our Class Assembly is on Tuesday 8th November at 9:10 for KS2 and 9:35 for EYFS and KS1, you can stay for both performances if you would like. Please continue to practise lines and songs.
On Friday 11th November, we will be visited in school by Stuart Robinson. Stuart is a gold medal-winning Paralympian, who represented GB in the recent Olympic games in wheelchair rugby.
Stuart’s visit is part of an event for Sports for Schools. This is an opportunity for the children to take part in a sporting event organised by Stuart, and to then hear about his story as part of an assembly. He will be with us all afternoon. This event is also an opportunity to raise money for our school - for PE, Sport and Active Learning.
The children have all brought a sponsor form home for them to collect as many sponsors as they can before the event next Friday. Please can all children come in their tracksuits on this day - Friday 11th November.On Thursday 17th November at 6pm, we will be welcoming both parents and children into school for Curriculum Evening. We’ve been unable to hold the event for the last couple of years due to Covid, so we are looking forward to comingtogether as a whole school community once again to share how we promote that love of learning in our children. More information will be given about the evening.
Have a lovely weekend
