“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” —Winnie the Pooh

The staff and I are so blessed to be able to witness so many of those small things that occur in the dinner hall and on the playground that makes lunchtimes such a special time of day. The acts of kindness, selflessness and compassion that is shown and shared so many times between the children so effortlessly, fills our hearts with joy on a daily basis. and this week has been no exception.

The playground has rung out with laughter, as games have been played, jokes shared and friends simply being together. Unicorns and vets have visited us this week, alongside a cone shop and the mighty power rangers! Super heroes with an array of special talents have been busy saving the day, whilst races have been won and tennis matches played. There is never a dull moment to be had!

Mr Nay has continued to deliver varying activities for all the children to enjoy. It is so lovely to see them beaming with achievement and joy during his sessions, along with their rosy cheeks!

The Lunchtime Team

Christmas, a time of Charity.

Its been a wonderful week for Mrs Webster, with her mask firmly in place she has visited all the school councillors to discover how they have been enjoying their role so far and to hear any feedback from their classes.
What an interesting time it is in school this month as we have all been thinking of how we can continue our Christmas tradition of raising  money for local charities ( who, as we all know are struggling right now.) We have had to be very creative as obviously with the current restrictions we can only raise money within our classes, but that hasn’t stopped us, we have had some wonderful ideas - from a Santa dash in Christmas jumpers, to chasing Father Christmas for a mile around the field. Miss Hornby is very excited to hear our final ideas in the next week. ( check your class web page for updates.)

Welcoming our New Councillors

What excitement this week for our new class councillors when they had a surprise visit during their lessons from Miss Hornby and Mrs Webster (who were wearing masks) to present them with their smart councillor badges. Everyone looked proud and confident as they received the badges, together with a huge round of congratulatory applause from their classmates.
Despite these extraordinary times, councillors are putting their heads together with their classes and thinking of a project they can achieve within their classes, to help enrich our school family with generosity and gratefulness - there are so many possibilities.

Although our meetings may now have to take place remotely we have great hope for the year ahead.

Here are some of the things our councillors said they were looking forward to:

‘ I want to make the school an even happier place.’
‘ I am looking forward to helping my classmates.’
‘ I am looking forward to asking lots of questions.’
‘ I want to help guide people to make the right choices.’
‘ I hope to keep the school community full of friendship.’
‘I just want to look after everyone.’

 We are all looking forward to working together.
