As the week has drawn to a close, the lunch time team have been overcome with the kindness and calmness of the children as the week has unfolded. It has been such a joy to see that in such difficult circumstances, they have had moments to be themselves and to have time with their friends playing, laughing and having fun. The love and compassion they have shared with one another has been quite humbling.
Table of the Week: The Team have decided that All houses are star table, children, you have been absolutely wonderful this week, thank you.
Role Model and Marvelous Manners: Again, the Team has decided that each and every child should receive both role model and marvelous manners. We are so proud of you all. Thank you so much children.

Imaginations have been running wild this week at lunch time. With glimpses of witches flying high in the sky and their echoing cackles ringing out across the school, the children discovered that with a little imagination, anything is possible. In fact, I do believe that one was spotted today running amok in the playground. Apparently, she has long, red, curly hair, a rather large nose, black dress, pointy hat and of course a broomstick. If you should see her flying around, then please do let us know!
Meanwhile across the rest of the playground, we have had games of Sardines, Disney character charades and a persuasive letter being written to Boris Johnson with an urgent appeal to tackle global warming.
Mr Nay, with the assistance of Mr Lyons, a past pupil, has delivered fun filled sporting activities such as bean bag target throwing and catch, cricket and general ball skills. The children have such a wonderful time with him and are always eager to share their sporting experiences with us.
Table of the Week: Keystage 1 table of the week goes to Bamber and for Keystage 2, Marsden. Thank you and well done children for making the dining room a delightful place to be.
Role Models of the Week: Role Models of the week for both Keystages are; Chloe Reception, Max Y2, India Y3, Reuben Y6. Thank you and well done to you all. You all have such wonderful qualities that shine through on a daily basis.
Jaqui’s Marvelous Manners: This week, Jaqui has been serving up a variety of delicious meals from a mid week roast to cheese whirls, followed by mouth watering desserts. The children have been leaving the hall looking very full, replenished, bursting with energy and ready to take on the afternoons learning and challenges. Marvelous Manners goes to: Rex and Sofia Y1 and Isabella and Jack Y3. Well done to you all and thank you for having marvelous manners.
Have a lovely weekend, let’s hope the sun keeps shining so that you can all enjoy some outdoor fun.

What a wonderful start to the new year! It was lovely to see the children return this week with a smile on their faces and a sparkle in their eyes as they played.We really do feel blessed that we are able to share such wonderful moments with your children.
Every week we are finding it increasingly difficult to pick a Role Model and a a child with Marvelous Manners due to them all being so delightful in the dining room and outside. They show each other such kindness, love and compassion. With this in mind, we have decided that two children each week will receive these accolades.
Table of the week: KS1, We have started the new term off with a draw in keystage 1. Well done to Harcourt and Plessington. KS2, Harcourt. Well done to you all!
Role Models of the Week: KS1, Micheal and Natasja Y1. Well done to you both, there isn’t a day that goes by where you do not have a smile for those around you. Ks2, Frankie Y5 and Mary Ann Y6. Thank you and well done for being such role models to the other children in the school.
Jaqui’s Marvelous Manners: KS1, Lorrenzo and Grace Reception. KS2, Isabella and Rhys in Year 5. Thank you so much children for always being polite and using your manners.
Have a wonderful, fun filled weekend.
God Bless

Wishing you all a happy and Holy Christmas, filled with magical moments with your family.
As the week has drawn to a close, the dining hall has been filed with an air of excitement and yet a sense of calmness and reflection. Christmas songs have played in the background as the children have dined. Yesterday, the children were joined by members of staff to have a delicious Christmas dinner. Thank you Jaqui, Sharon and Francis for providing such a wonderful feast!
A huge thank you must also go out to the Year 6 children, who have helped so graciously throughout the term, inside and out. It has truly been appreciated. Thank you to you all.
The Autumn term has certainly flown by and it has been a privilege to be able to witness some magical moments as the children have relaxed during the lunch time period. We have been fortunate to capture some of these moments on camera……..
Thank you children for such a wonderful term!
We look forward to sharing more magical moments with you in the new year.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
