Dear Parents,

We have been having a really interesting week this week. It is RE week and across the school we have been considering big philosophical questions.  The children in Kestrels, Peregrines and Ospreys have been thinking about how and why we celebrate special times.  They have been thinking about their own family celebrations and celebrations from different faiths.  The older children have been considering ‘what are the deeper meaning of festivals?’ and ‘Why is a pilgrimage important to some religious believers?’ They have again been starting from their own experiences and then looking for connections with and between the major faiths. I am looking forward to Friday’s feedback assembly at 2.30 to discover what they have been finding out.  If you would like to join us feel free.

As we will be assembling in the afternoon on the 17th there will be no family assembly in the morning.  On Friday 24th October The Peregrines will be leading our assembly at 9.05am.

The boys football team did really well last week and will be playing again tomorrow.

Remember it is the PTA disco on Friday 5-6.30. The boys can come straight from their matches.

On Monday Osprey Class are going on their trip to Staircase House.

Next week is Parents Evenings if you haven’t yet asked for an appointment please do so.

On Wednesday 22nd the children will be having individual and family photos taken.  If you would like a family photo with preschool children please come to school at about 8.30am.

 

On Thursday 23rd The children in Ospreys will be taking part in a cluster multi sports event.  They will walk up to St Philip Howard School and be back in time for lunch.

We finish for half term on Friday 24th October.  School reopens on Monday 3rd November.

During half term Glossop and District Embroiderers Guild are holding a children’s workshop on Wednesday 29th October 2-4 at Bradbury House.  It is open to children between seven and eleven years of age.  They must be accompanied by an adult.  If your child is interested just turn up for the session.  Further information available from Dorothy Hodgson 01457 854181

Please send in any outstanding Glossop Jog Sponsor Money.

 

Yours Sincerely
