𝕎𝔼𝕃𝕃 𝔻𝕆ℕ𝔼 to everyone who walked, cycled, scooted or hopped on our Walking Bus to school today. 𝐅𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂!

We loved seeing all the 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 outfits to help 𝔻𝕀𝕋ℂℍ 𝕋ℍ𝔼 𝔻𝔸ℝ𝕂 as we move into the darker mornings and evenings.

We were delighted to have some of our parents able to join us in the hall afterwards. Thanks to Lynne and Emma for the catering.

Anti-bullying week 2024 will take place from Monday 11th November to Friday 15th November. With the the theme: Choose Respect.

Odd Socks Day is taking place on Tuesday 12th Novermber, with the children being encouraged to wear odd socks to celebrate what makes us unique.

𝔻𝕀𝕋ℂℍ 𝕋ℍ𝔼 𝔻𝔸ℝ𝕂 Day is an active travel day and aims to raise awareness of safe travel to school during the darker days - we encourage our school community to walk, scoot, cycle or park and stride to school wearing the BRIGHTEST clothing they can!

Children are invited to get creative with their outfits. The possibilities are endless – bright clothing, fluorescent orange socks, a pink tutu, a neon green wig – get bright, brighter, brightest!

Parents, you are more than welcome to join the fun yourself! Please feel free to dress to impress in your best neon bright clothing and travel to school actively with your child on the day! 

We understand that it might not be possible for everyone to actively travel to school the whole way, particularly if you live far away. Why not hop on to our 𝕎𝕒𝕝𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝔹𝕦𝕤 leaving The Witch's Hat in the Crescent at 8.30am.   

Hot dog breakfast available in school after registration. Please order from The Shop on SchoolMoney to inform the catering staff. 

We are looking forward to a whole school active travel day! 

Many thanks for your continued support.

This year we are are working with Team Hope again to help bring joy to children at Christmas time.

Each child will be sent home with a leaflet with instructions about how to put their shoe box together. The focus is the 4 Ws:

• Something to WEAR;
• Something to WASH;
• Something to WRITE; and Something to make them go WOW!
• £4 contribution towards delivery

Shoeboxes should be returned to school by Wednesday 6th November for collection by Team Hope.
