‘The best that I can be’
Ephesians 4:31-32
Get rid of all rage and anger, fighting and gossip. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as through Jesus Christ, God forgave you.
World Book Day
Children enjoyed celebrating World Book Day on Thursday with a special dressing up assembly. Staff read their favourite poems and we talked about the importance of books and reading. Thank you to parents for the wonderful array of book character costumes. The handwriting competition winners were announced for each year group as follows: Reception – Adaora Emechebe, Year 1 – Chloe Taylor, Year 2 – Sapphire Hagon, Year 3 – Chinaza Osaji-Okai, Year 4 – Tiffany Sosanya, Year 5 – Aimee Bradley and Year 6 – Dhiya Chagger. We had many beautifully written and presented entries and the standard of handwriting was very high. Winning entries will be displayed in the foyer.
Mothers’ Day Tea Party – Y1 and 2
At the time of writing, Year 1 and 2 very much look forward to the tea party that they are hosting for their mums. We will be serving tea and cakes that we have decorated and giving our mums a special handmade gift and card. We have also learnt a couple of Mother’s Day songs and will be reading some of our thoughts and thanks for all the things that our mums do for us. We wish all mums a happy and restful Mother’s Day on Sunday.
Sporting Success!
Our netball team won both their games on Wednesday night: they beat Squirrels Heath Junior and 5-3 and Mawney School 4-2. Well done, team! The children have written match reports, which will be displayed on the PE board.
Lent Games
Don’t forget to send in your coins for lent games, which the children have organised and which will be continuing until we break up for the Easter holidays. We hope to raise enough money to pay all of our sponsored child’s school fees this year.
Children and Social Media
Sadly, we have had more than one incident where children have made upsetting and inappropriate comments to one another on ‘Instagram’ this week. Please be vigilant and check what your child is writing and receiving through their mobile devices. If your child does not want you to see their phone, this could be a warning sign. Children should not have passwords or accounts that their parents cannot access, as this could make them vulnerable to cyber-bullying, or even online grooming. We have spoken to the children in school about how to keep themselves safe online, but would like to ask parents to play their part too.
Special Easter Menu
The special Easter lunch menu on 21st March will be: Thumper’s Southern Style Chicken Fillet, Flopsy’s Salmon Goujons, Cotton Tail’s Cheese and Onion Puffs with Easter Cornflake Nests.
