Junior - Weekly email - Friday 4th November

Dear Parents / Carers
 
This week we have celebrated Outdoor Learning day and despite the wet weather many of the classes have had some lessons outside. Please remember to send children in with coats this term.
 
Travelling Books book fair - the book fair will be visiting our school next week. All classes will have a chance to visit the fair during the week and to buy some books if they wish. Further details here

New Governor - Mr Clive Jones, an Infant School parent, was elected unopposed to be our new Parent Governor. Thank you to him for stepping forward to take on this role
 
Odd Socks Day - we are supporting the Anti Bullying Alliances Odd Sock Day again this year and we are looking forward to seeing lots of wonderful brightly coloured socks in school on Monday 14th November. There are more details about the Anti Bullying Awareness Week on their website here https://anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk/anti-bullying-week/odd-socks-day Please note this is an awareness day only and not a fundraising event. During the week, the children will talk about how to address bullying and the importance of the 'Stand up, Speak out' approach.  We will also be using resources from the NSPCC to help the children stay safe and know where to seek help.
 
Poppies - these will still be on sale at break times next week.
