Newsletter - Friday 20th November, 2020


Headteacher: Mrs L Nicholls 

Dear Parents and Carers,


Virtual School

Thank you so much for your engagement this week with our virtual school and for your attendance at our virtual assembly. We understand how challenging it has been for you at home but please know we appreciate everything that you have done to continue your child’s learning journey. We hope the children are looking forward to Thursday as much as we are. 

Children in Need  We had a wonderful day last week for Children in Need. Thank you all for your very generous donations, we raised over £300 which is marvellous. Aspen, Rowan and Redwood were the class winners of our dress Pudsey bear competition. Some of our pupils took fundraising into their own hands by participating in a sponsored cycle/scoot around Raphael Park and raised £175! Please read the blog post here. We are so proud of all of your efforts and for demonstrating job number 3 which is to be kind. 

Bikeability - Year 6 Year 6 pupils who are interested in taking part in the bikeability level 1&2 course please return your permission forms as soon as possible. If you are unable to return digitally please bring your hard copy back to school on Thursday. The instructor has extended the deadline for us but we must know numbers by the end of Thursday 26th. 

S.M.I.L.E Christmas Appeal
The deadline for donations has been extended due to the school closure. Please ensure that you bring any final donations into school by Thursday 26th, we must deliver to the charity on Friday 27th so that they can make sure they get to people who need them. 

Many children will not receive anything from Father Christmas this year as they are living below the breadline. Therefore S.M.I.L.E are providing shoe boxes full of treats and delivering them to families who need the most support. Every year the numbers of families in need grow, and as a result of this they are always in need of donations from our community to fulfill this Christmas miracle. 

Creating your Christmas box ... 

1 - Choose an age and gender 2 - Find a suitable showbox 3 - Wrap with Christmas paper (please wrap lide separately so that the box can be opened easily 4 - Shop for presents to fill your box 5 - Bring your box into school no later than Friday 20th November All gifts must be new in sealed packages to comply with Covid-19 policies. 

Please select an age range for your box from the groups below 

  • Babies

  • 3-6 years old

  • 7-12 years old

  • 13-16 years old 

  • Adults (male and female)

Suggested items to add to your box ... 

  • Dolls / cars / games / puzzles / age appropriate books 

  • Pencils / pens / colouring books 

  • Make up / perfume / aftershave / toiletries

  • Sweets / chocolates

  • family board games

If you are not able to donate a full box of items maybe you could donate an item that we could add to another box.

  2. I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com
