Dear Parents and Children,
On Friday 15th October we are going to have a Bring and Buy Sale to raise funds for the victims of the Pakistan floods. Fields and crops have been ruined not just for this year but also next year as they will not be able to sow the seeds. Lots of families in Pakistan no longer have homes and have to sleep in tents.
You can bring in some toys that you no longer use and you would like to donate for the Bring and Buy Sale so you can help towards helping the people who suffered in this terrible disaster. The toys have got to be in by 14th October. Don`t forget how lucky we are compared to them. PLEASE HELP US!
The sale will take place from 3pm on Friday 15th October
THANK YOU.
Yours sincerely,
Ollie Louch, on behalf of Y4/5J.

Dear Parents and Carers,
Bring and Buy Sale – In support of the victims of the Pakistan flood disaster
This morning Mrs Joseph's class presented a moving assembly about the flood disaster in Pakistan. The children told a story of personal disasters (many not being too serious), the disaster in Pakistan, they then thanked God for what He has given us, and they sang a message of hope for the future. Next Friday the class will be running a Bring and Buy sale to help people in Pakistan. We hope you can all support this event. The sale will be held in the hall from 3pm. Next week please bring in any unwanted toys, books, games or dvds which are in good condition and could be sold at this sale. It is a good opportunity to clear out a few cupboards!
Community Celebrations
Last year groups of parents and children from different parts of the school community organised a number of exciting events. These included a celebration of the Polish Constitution Day and the Keralite Feast of St Thomas. These days started with a special assembly and ended with parents being invited in to share some food and drink.
We hope to repeat this success, by inviting all parts of the school community to be involved in organising a similar celebration. Please see Mrs Workman or myself if you have an idea for such an event.
Parent Information Meetings – Mrs Mantle’s Class
These meetings enable teachers to share important information about the school year and learning with parents/carers. This includes this year’s curriculum and the class policy on things like homework. This meeting will be held at the start of term 2 on Tuesday 2nd November at 3pm. Apologies for this meeting being delayed.
Internet safety
Can I remind all parents that it is important that children’s use of the internet is monitored at home. In particular, children’s use of social networking sites. We will be having another e-safety week later in the school year.
Parents Evenings - School Governors
School Governors will be attending the parent’s evenings over the next couple of weeks. They will be seeking the views of parents regarding how the school shares information about learning. Please can I ask you all to give a couple of minutes to tell them what you think.
School Attendance
Mrs Mantle’s class achieved 97% attendance, Mrs Bell’s class achieved 98% and Mrs Ford’s and Mrs Joseph’s classes achieved an amazing 100% attendance!!! As a special reward, both classes will have a non-uniform day next Friday (15th October).

Celebration assembly
In assembly today Mr Sherwin shared some useful websites he had seen on Tim Rylands blog. The first was a virtual tour of the Sistine chapel, which allows you to zoom in to see the wonderful paintings on the walls and ceilings. The other site, telescopic text, demonstrated how a very simple sentence can be edited and improved into a high quality piece of writing.
