It has been a terrific Autumn Term at Blidworth Oaks and I sincerely hope your children have enjoyed it as much as we have.

 

Christmas Performances

What a privilege it was to watch the Lower School production of The Grinch and the Foundation Production of Whoopsy Daisy Angel. The children looked and sounded superb and had clearly put a lot of effort into it. What’s more, they had huge smiles on their faces! Well done children and thank you for coming to support these events.

 

High 5 Rewards

The High 5 Reward afternoon and Camp were a great success. At the children’s request, we hired a huge bouncy castle and inflatable obstacle course (both pictured) for them to enjoy. Please remember, the competition for next term’s High 5 has already started. The same rules apply—please see our website for details.

 

Goodbyes

We have said goodbye today to two members of our staff team. Phil is a well known member of staff who has spent the last six years at the school. He will be sorely missed and we wish him all the best for the future. Another member of staff leaving us, often unseen in school, is our Head Cook, Louise Ashmore. Louise has worked at the school for 24 years and has overseen so many changes over the years. An amazing achievement; thank you for all that you have done for the school and, again, we wish her the very best for the future.

 

7th January—First Day Back and Learning Carousels

The first day back at school is Monday the 7th January 2019 for the majority of school, including Little Acorns. The only exception to this is our F1 (nursery children) who will be starting back on Tuesday the 8th January.

On the first day back (7th January) Classes 3-14 will be holding learning carousels for family members to come along and join in with as we launch our children’s new topics. Please come to the main entrance for 1.30pm.

 

Finally, thank you so much for the electronic Bingo Machine that I was given to day as a present in assembly! What a surprise! Hopefully you will see this on it’s first outing at the Big Family Breakfast on the first Friday back. Merry Christmas to all of our Blidworth Oaks Community and a very happy 2019.
