So, another week flies by and we literally have 5 more get ups until a well-deserved break 🙂 

It's hard work having a few 'resident' elves - glad there are only 5 more days to sort (if you know, you know)- ha ha ha 🙂

This will be the last summary for this year - we will send out a reminder for the 1^st week back on our new J2E platform 🙂

So, this week looked a bit like this: - 

• Year 3 had an enjoyable day at COSFORD - they all had a great time and enhanced their classroom learning.  A big shout out to staff and parent volunteers who went along to help out 🙂 They all came back with beaming smiles and chatting away about the knowledge they had absorbed: 🙂

• Year 5 enjoyed their fencing experience with Progressive Sports on Wednesday 🙂 

• A big thank you to all of you who ventured out to support our XMAS FAYRE.  Our busiest Xmas Fayre yet!!  Once we get a final total raised, we will let you know.  Thanks to all staff and PTFA members who helped out - very much appreciated.  A special 'shout out' to Miss Young for organising everything 🙂 Raffle winners will be posted on Facebook at some point next week - so keep your eyes peeled 

• Year 3 had a smashing day over at Forest Schools 🙂 

• We finished the week with our TRAVELLING PANTO - everyone absolutely loved it 🙂 It's still not too late to pay if you haven't already done so. 

• Reports have been handed out today - so search in your child's bag - good luck 🙂 

No more Forest Schools or Progressive Sports Sessions now until the NEW YEAR as we have lots of Xmas Activities and Performances next week. 

Looking ahead to next week: - 

• On Monday EYFS (Nursery/Reception) are welcome to come to school in Xmas PJs for a Xmas Slumber Party Treat 🙂   

• Year 6 at camp all week - a reminder that children need to be taken to Laches Wood and collected on Friday - more details have been issued previously.  It is an expectation that Year 6's not going to camp come to school each day. 

• KS2 Sing A Long on Monday 15^th December @ 9.15am - only turn up if you have a ticket as we are sold out!  Year 3, 4 & 5 need to wear a Xmas Jumper with full school uniform. 

• KS1 Nativity on Tuesday 16^th December @ 9.30am and 2.15pm - only turn up if you have a ticket as we are sold out! 

A reminder for ALL of our performances - we are a NO MOBILE PHONE SITE and no photos will be allowed during the performance 🙂 

• Xmas Lunch and XMAS JUMPER DAY (with school uniform) on Wednesday 17^th December - if your chid hasn't pre-ordered a lunch then they will need to bring their own packed lunch from home 

• STAY N PLAY - EYFS @ 10.45am on Thursday 18^th December - again NO MOBILE PHONES - please leave them at home - EYFS children to wear a XMAS JUMPER on this day with full school uniform 

• EYFS/KS1 have a special visitor to school on Thursday 18^th December - I wonder who that could be?  Remember to ask them on collection at the end of the school day 🙂

• Friday 19^th December is PARTY DAY - All children can come to school in PARTY CLOTHES but must wear sensible shoes and bring a coat as they will be outside at break and lunchtime 

And that's a wrap - this will be the final facebook/MM summary for this year - we will let you know arrangements for the 1^st week back in the New Year 🙂 

Enjoy this weekend doing all things Xmasy 🙂 

See you in 2026.  We return to school on Monday 5^th January 2026. 

Mrs B and the FL Team 🙂
