Dear Parents,
We have now managed to catch up with all the postponed Bikeability sessions. The children all did very well and are now much more confident about cycling on the road.
We have been getting excited messages from Mrs Clayton all week! She is in London being trained at the Houses of Parliament in how to teach children about our government and legal system. She is having a fantastic time and learning loads. We are looking forward to hearing all about it. She will then help us develop our teaching. Thank you to Andrew Bingham who told us about the course.
Glossopdale Drama students came into school on Wednesday to perform a show they had developed around friendships and internet safety. The children all enjoyed it and learnt a lot.
There is no clarinet lesson this week for Harriers but they will restart on Friday 3rd February. They will be preparing for their rescheduled concert on Friday 10th February.
This Friday 27th January the Kites are leading our assembly, from what I have seen as I have been walking around school it is looking good. Do come if you can. The Harriers will be leading the assembly on Friday 3rd.
Friday 3rd February is also the date for the PTA disco – very exciting. The theme is characters from films and books, if the children would like to come dressed up that would be great but they don’t have to.
The children have all been given two poems to learn as part of our annual House Verse Speaking Competition. Every year the whole school learns one poem I have chosen and one poem their house has chosen. They then decide as a house how it will be performed. On Friday 10th February they will perform both poems to our esteemed judge. It seems like a lot two poems to learn off by heart but every year the children do it and do it well. Any help you can give your child to learn their poems would be appreciated.
