Dear Parents,
Thank you to everyone who sent in a donation for Children in Need last Friday we raised over £250. It was a busy Friday as we then had Film Night and Year 4 Sleep Over. I know there were some issues around tickets for Film Night and the PTA are going to discuss this at their next meeting. Year 4 sleep over went well with all the children actually sleeping! A great time was had by all.
The rehearsals for the Kestrel’s, Peregrine’s and Osprey’s Christmas Play are coming on well. You should have had a ticket letter come home last night, if it hasn’t made it home just let us know. All the children will need their pumps in school for this.
Tomorrow 25th November is Non Uniform day for donations for the Christmas Fair. Children in Kestrels, Peregrines and Ospreys are asked to bring in chocolate tombola prizes and the other children are asked to bring in items for the wrap stall. This is a stall where children can buy their Christmas presents and the staff will wrap any purchase for them. They are asked to bring in different colours, but any colour will do. Kites colour is silver, Harriers is gold, Eagles green and Merlins red.
This Friday 25th November Kite’s are leading our assembly and the week after on the 2nd December Harriers will be taking the lead. Please join us if you can.
The children are still enjoying the special class menus and this Friday it is Kite’s menu, Friday 2nd is Osprey’s and Thursday 8th is Peregrines. Christmas Dinner is also coming up on 15th December, this where just about everyone has a dinner. Staff and children eat together and enjoy each other’s company. If your child normally has packed lunches but would like to join in this very special event just let us know and send £2 in a labelled envelope into the office if your child is in Key Stage 2.
Next week is the last week of swimming for the term.

Friday 2nd December is our much anticipated Christmas Fair 5.30-7.30pm, everyone is welcome. If you can not make the fair but would like to participate in the raffle, tickets can be purchased at the school office. Tickets are £1 a strip and prizes include; a bumper Christmas Hamper, £20 voucher for The Sett Valley Trail cafe, and prizes from Forever Love, Harvey Leonards, Row House, Barbarella and Active Tameside amongst others. This year we are also running a quiz, attached is the quiz sheet have a go at it and if you want to enter your attempt send it in with £1.
