Reading Day

We have had an exciting day to launch our Bookfest and Reading Miles journey. We set out to inspire all our children with a pyjama day and lots of reading activities. Each class are taking part in their own ‘Bookfest’ and we have purchased new books, thanks to the PTA, to support this project. Children were so keen to read through their lunchtimes too! What a wonderful day!

Message from the Head

The Boccia teams played well on Monday and both got through to the quarter finals. Well done to Sophie, Halle, Lilly, Oliver H, Jake and Connor!

Blue Class enjoyed their visit to Birmingham Rep to see Peter Pan. The production was fantastic and they had had a great time. We were grateful to the PTA for the water and cookies during the interval. We were proud of the children’s good behaviour on the day.

Next Monday, the choir are off to Young Voices at the Genting Arena in Birmingham. They have rehearsed the songs and actions and will have a wonderful time. Don’t forget a pack tea, your YV T-shirts and plenty to drink through the afternoon!

We are looking forward to the reading day on Wednesday and children can come to school in pyjamas. We will be launching the Bookfest for Blue, Red and Yellow class  and Reading Miles for Green class. We have purchased some new books for all classes. Please come to the reading workshop at 6.00pm if you can as we are going to share the structure of the Bookfest and how to support your child with their reading.

PHONICS (Green class parents)- We are also sharing some of the strategies for hearing your child read and phonic sounds in a workshop on Friday 24th Jan at 2.45pm if you would like to drop in.

End of term Christmas dinner

We were treated to a wonderful Christmas dinner today! Our cooks worked so hard to provide the whole school with a fantastic meal.

 

 

Message from the PTA

We are delighted to announce that we have made a fantastic £565.59 on the raffles which took place during the KS1 and KS2 plays, a fabulous £220.25 on breakfast with Santa and a brilliant £204.41 from the Christmas shop! That’s a staggering £990.25 raised over the last two weeks of term to be spent on exciting projects and experiences in the new year for all the children in the school enjoy! The PTA cannot thank the parents enough for all of their support with our fundraising projects, without you and the enthusiasm of all the kids wanting to join in, we couldn’t do this.

We would also like to thank all the parents that have helped during the events and the staff for all of their support in organising the children.

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas break and look forward to seeing you in 2020. From all at the PTA

Arthog 2019

Year 6 had a fabulous week at Arthog and the weather held out until the Thursday. After a five hour journey, on which  the children were remarkably patient, they were allowed to let off steam by herding sheep together on the top field, and then having a run on the beach where they witnessed the most beautiful sunset.
Day 2: Spent canoeing down the  Afon Mawddach in the morning, and gorge walking in the afternoon- a favourite amongst a lot of the children.
Day 3: Involved scrambling and rock climbing at Barmouth slabs. Many fears were conquered and children once more showed they were ready to meet the challenge. The Nightline- a blindfold obstacle course- in the evening  proved to be hilarious!
Day 4: Despite heavy rain and strong  winds, the children completed a hill walk and reached three peaks including Birds Rock. They were rewarded with a mud slide down part of the mountain.

PTA Christmas Shop

Thanks to all the PTA who bought and wrapped some lovely gifts. The children enjoyed buying presents for their families!

Poster Competition Winners!

Claverley in Bloom organised a competition for the children to design a poster to encourage people to pick up after their dog. Well done to the winners of the poster competition: Isla, Jack, Ruby-Rose and Eliza. They each received a WHSmith’s voucher which was presented by Janet Ryan.  Let’s hope they are effective!
