Reminders
Year Group Weekly News
Don't forget to check the Google Classroom for your year group's weekly update and any important reminders from your teachers for next week.
Coats & PE Kits
With the colder weather, please ensure that your child wears a warm coat to school - break times will always be spent outside, even if there is a little rain. For outdoor PE, children should now be wearing black tracksuits or jogging bottoms and a long sleeved jumper or jacket, not just shorts and a t-shirt.
Lost Property
A lost property box is located just inside the entrance of the school. Please check this box for lost items before contacting the school office. We will always endeavour to return items to their owner, so please make sure everything your child brings to school is clearly named (first name and surname), including water bottles and packed lunch containers. Items not collected by the end of every half-term are disposed of.

Anti-Bullying Week and Odd Socks DayPositive Noticing Day
On Wednesday next week, the children will celebrate Positive Noticing Day. This is an opportunity for them to focus on, and celebrate, positive behaviours together. They will be thinking about what they notice about their classmates in terms of kindness, character, effort, attitude, skills and talent and each child will create a positive noticing label for a friend to take home.

Fundraising for the BBC Children in Need Appeal
On Friday 14th November, we will be supporting the BBC Children in Need Appeal with a fundraising mufti day - the children don't need to wear school uniform, but we do hope to see lots of spotty and yellow clothing! In return, we'll be asking for a donation to the Children in Need charity. A limited number of Pudsey pin badges and wristbands will be available to buy at drop off and pick up on Wednesday and Thursday. Please look out for more information early next week.
School Book Fair
We will be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair during the last week of November, just in time for your Christmas shopping! And, as usual, all purchases will earn rewards towards buying new books for our school. The fair will be open from 3:30 - 4:30 pm in the Junior Library on Tuesday 25th, Wednesday 26th and Thursday 27th November. You can browse the books that will be available on the Travelling Books website here. If you cannot attend, you will have the opportunity to pay for books online which will then be sent home with your child after the Fair.
Book Fair Poster Competition
We also have some book fair vouchers available to win for the best posters advertising the fair, using the details above, including your child's favourite books and book characters. Posters can be delivered to class teachers or left on Mrs Rouillard's desk in the Junior Library and all entries must be handed in by 9:00 am on Tuesday 18th November. Please remind your children to put their name and class on their poster!
Remembrance
|
|---|
Next week, children and staff will commemorate Remembrance and the whole school will join a two-minute silence on Tuesday 11th November, which is Armistice Day. Thank you to our Year 5 children who have been selling poppies this week - and to all the families who have generously donated to the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal.
Flu Immunisations
If your child missed their flu vaccination at school on Thursday, the School Health Team are running catch-up clinics in Kingston over the next two months. Click here for further information.
Class AssembliesClick here for the dates of all our class assemblies this school year. Assemblies are held in the Large Hall. Entry and exit to the Large Hall will be via the external doors (past the black gates by school reception) and not through the school building. Assemblies will be recorded and uploaded to the Google Classroom, for families to watch together at home. |
