Recycling Christmas Cards in the New Year

Please help us recycle your Christmas cards for the Woodland Trust Scheme.
We're asking you to recycle your Christmas cards to help us turn your cards into trees!

For every 1,000 cards dropped in to Marks & Spencer stores for recycling throughout January 2017, a new tree can be planted!

In the New Year, please bring any Christmas cards to the foyer outside the school office where there will be a bin. Do bunch these together and place a slip with the amount you are posting into our bin - this way the children will be able to calculate quickly whether we have collected enough to plant one or two trees. Please do not put loose cards in. The recycling bin will be in the foyer form the start of term. If you can, please do support this worthwhile venture. We will then make arrangements for the cards to be transported to Marks & Spencer at the end of the January 2017.

We wonder how many trees we can donate?!

Year 4 Wednesday 14th Dec 2016 - Friday!!!!!!!

Congratulations Year 4, your performances so far this week have been hugely successful!!!! True professionals!!!!!!! You should be very proud of yourselves...........we certainly are!!!!

Tomorrow is our last one, so sing and act your hearts out - I hope all your families have enjoyed watching you, or if they haven't seen you yet, I am sure they will love it!!!!!

Friday morning, please bring along a table top game that can be shared with friends - although do not bring in anything too precious or with pieces that can be easily lost!!!!!! After first play we will be playing party games with year 3 in the hall, followed by our party lunch!!!!!!!! (I can't wait, lots of fun!!!!) You can also wear a christmas jumper on Friday and bring a £1 donation for Save the Children.


And, of course, don't forget our christmas carols at 3pm in the school hall to ensure we all finish feeling super christmassy!!!!!

Thank you for all your generous gifts and cards!

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. J and The Year 4 Team

Year 4 Monday 12th December 2016 - this week and food!

Good evening Everyone!

Many apologies for not blogging recently, there have been a few technical problems - hopefully now though things have been solved!

I am sure you are all looking forward to our Christmas performance - the children are very excited to perform and have been working hard towards it, whilst also suffering with various illnesses, proving how resilient and determined they all are! A HUGE thank you too for all the fantastic costumes, we are very grateful for the superb effort and support you have shown!!!!!

I hope you all received the e-mail about our party on Friday, re the surprise pizza delivery, again, if there are any queries please do come and speak to me! The children are allowed to wear a festive christmas jumper on Friday too and are asked to donate £1 - this is a national charity fundraiser!

Keep going Year 4, you're doing so well - I recommended a quiet evening, eating all their dinner, plenty of water or orange juice followed by an early bedtime (to fight off all the germs!!!!!!!)

See you all tomorrow,

Mrs. Johnson and The Year 4 team.

Technology day (9/12/16)

A ‘Christmassy, art and crafty’ day was enjoyed by all on Friday 9^th December. It was the POW school annual ‘Technology day’ when children select three activities in which they wish to create a Christmas themed piece of art/ design work.  The manner in which children moved around the school, worked well within the mixed up age groups was superb. All children were displaying our resilient tortoise in tackling activities and the older children were lending a hand in helping organise the younger children’s work, showing the next steps in how to produce an item. Super skills from one and all! Some products made have been added to this blog.

Thank you finally to all parents who managed to join for some/ or all of the day, the extra pairs of hands very much helped!

 

Christmas fair, 2nd December

What a busy, Christmassy feel to the school yesterday evening! The school was full of children and our families making the realisation that Christmas is nearly knocking on our doors!

The school would like to thank you for your support, for the goodies donated and for spending those pennies! All which will be ploughed into making the children's learning and environments a richer place to learn in.

A huge thank you also to everyone who has helped in preparing for the Christmas fair, preparations, laying out and running stalls to tidying up at the end. Thank you to POWSA.
