  BOPZONE

  A great start to BOPZONE clubs this week – thanks for continuing to support these. There are still a few places left so contact a member of staff if you would like to know about these. Thank you for supporting us with the new access routine with our security fences. I am sure you can appreciate that, while inconvenient, this helps to make our grounds more secure while outdoor clubs are taking place.

   

  Upper School Monkey Bars

  Now the winter weather is set to arrive, we will be closing our monkey bars on the Upper School playground in a morning. This area can get extremely slippery and is unsupervised before school starts. Thank you for your support with this. The area will still be used and supervised as usual at playtimes and lunchtimes when the ground has thawed.

   

  Boccia

  Well done to our three Boccia teams that entered the tournament this week at Joseph Whitaker school. There were 17 teams and we came 4th 5th and 6th. Well done!

   

  Year 6 Trip to the Houses of Parliament

  Year 6 set off for London very early this morning to be given a guided tour of the Houses of Parliament. They also plan to take in the sights of Buckingham Palace, Downing Street and Trafalgar Square amongst others.

   

  No Pens Day – Wednesday

  This Wednesday is No Pens Day – a national event where we put down our pens and pencils in order to understand all different forms of communication that exist in the world and, in particular, to understand what it is like for those who find communication difficult. The school day will be the same as normal but all of our lessons will be free of pens and pencils!

   

  Good luck to the Y5&6 Cross Country Team this weekend!

  Welcome back everyone! We have had an amazing start to the school year—superb working attitudes and over 2500 Value Points!

  Congratulations Miss Winfield and Welcome Mr Punni

  You may have noticed a change in our PE teachers already this year. We are delighted and very proud to inform you that Miss Winfield has now started her adoption leave! We wish her all the very best and hope to see her and baby soon! We are very lucky that Mr Punni has stepped into the role so quickly and efficiently and I am sure you will make him very welcome at our school.

  Girls Football

  Girls football has already started with a BANG!There were three girls events this week: a mini friendly tournament against Sutton Road School; a 1-1 draw against Kingsway in the first league match of the season; and a 2-1 win for our Y5 girls against St. Mary’s in Edwinstowe. What a brilliant start! It is the turn of the boys next.

  TLCs

  It was great to see so many of you at the TLCs this week. We always do these meetings early to give you a chance to meet your child’s new teacher and discuss plans for the year.

  BOPZONE

  BOPZONE Starts up again Monday (Please note: Wednesday clubs start the following week). We do still have some spare spaces—please call in at the office. If you are unsure of which club your child is in, contact any member of staff who can find this out for you. I hope everyone enjoys this great club offer!

  Tue 18 Sep 2018 Mr Walker
  Welcome back to the 2018-2019 academic year! I hope you all had a wonderful summer and I hope all of our children are ready to get stuck into some fantastic learning we have planned for them this year. Our building work is all now complete with a new main entrance (just off Haywood Avenue) and back office and the refurbishment of three classrooms. We hope you find the changes beneficial but please bare with us while we all still get used to things!
