This week, I challenged our pupils to use their creativity to help solve a problem. We want to ensure the safety of pupils and adults on the roads and paths around our school. Portacre Rise, Kings Furlong Drive and Upper Chestnut Drive are particular areas to improve.

I asked our pupils to design a poster on A4 paper that clearly shows a colourful and bold message about keeping safe. This could be to do with wearing a helmet if cycling, asking drivers to go slowly or park carefully, or encouraging more children to walk.

Posters will be put up temporarily around our community, and given out to drivers. The posters should be given to me by Friday 9th October!

Mr Applegate.

This week, our theme is creativity. Our children show this is so many ways- through art, drama, writing, maths, science- even solving problems on the playground!

There is a Year 6 meeting for parents about the upcoming residential on Monday night, 6:30pm.

Also, a reminder that Parents’ Evenings are next week, 5th and 8th October.

Don’t forget our Three-In-One morning this Friday- see below!

On Friday 2nd October, we are a) raising money for Cancer Research UK b) helping parents to understand the new assessment systems in place as levels have gone and c) giving an opportunity to come into your child’s class!

FOR PUPILS

Cake sale at break time – bring money to buy the scrummy cakes on sale – profits go to CRUK

Non-uniform day – to take part, please bring in cakes which will be sold! Remember, no nuts in cakes please!

FOR PARENTS

We need some helpers to run the coffee morning- please let us know if you can. Finally, could you bake a cake for us? Please bring it along on the Friday if so! Thank you.

Special thanks to Dijana, Maria and Alimah for helping to organise this event!

We had a special time in assembly today when we sang the National Anthem as a school, after discussing how amazing Queen Elizabeth II really is! We’ve put this on her twitter feed, so perhaps she may watch our pupils sing to her!

Social Media sites are very popular now! However, even though the age restriction is 13+, many parents still allow children younger than this to use the sites.

Be sure that you know what they are up to, and what information, photos or videos they are sharing with others. Check out the NSPCC parent support website for really helpful information.
