More than I am

Head Girl & Head Boy Report
Last week Year 6 was at Borwick Hall – we had lots of fun and we are now a better team. Year 3 did a really good Worship about hand washing. We also had our open day on Wednesday and our House Captains showed the prospective parents and new starters around the school.

Breakfast Club at St Josephs - There is no breakfast club next Thursday or Friday as St Joseph’s are on Half Term holiday.

School Dinners – You should have received a new menu this week. Please write your child’s name and year group clearly on the menu and circle their choice of main course then return to school. This will enable us to ensure your child has their preference of main course each day. The new winter menus will start on Monday 14th November, the second week back after half term.

Operation Christmas Child – Shoe Box Appeal

Once again, we will be supporting the Christmas Shoe Box Appeal.

This year, purpose made shoeboxes from the charity can be purchased from school for just 50p or just use your own shoe box.

All shoe boxes need to be brought into school ready for collection by Tuesday 8th November. There is a leaflet coming home tonight to give you the information on how to pack your shoe boxes. Thank you to Miss Groves for organising this for us and to Year 5 for telling us all about the appeal in Worship this week.
