Dear Parent/Carer,
Celebration Fridays
Our Celebration Friday dates for this Half Term are:
Key Stage One - Friday 28th January
Lower Key Stage Two – Friday 4th February
Upper Key Stage Two – Friday 11th February
Please come along to your child’s class after the Friday Celebration Assembly to see the great work that they’re doing in school and celebrate all of their fantastic achievements with us.
My thanks to those parents who have joined us this week for our Parent Information Meetings about the Learning Platform.
Wii
Miss Mees Wii Fit Club began this week. My thanks to Miss Mees for her innovative idea. This is an ideal way of motivating children to take regular exercise. Miss Thackeray is also using the Wii with the Y34’s currently in PE.
Robert Madungha
Robert had a wonderful time at Robin Hood this week and really made a very big impression on our children and staff. Our pupils were able to meet a partner from our Connecting Classrooms project in real life and to find out at first hand about life in Uganda and Africa in general. Robert brought photographs showing Ugandan school children wearing Robin Hood sweaters and football kit and receiving our gifts. This is what makes our project real, meaningful and valuable… the work that we are doing together as a school community having a positive effect upon real lives. Robert’s photographs will soon be appearing on our displays in school and on the school website.
Robin Hood’s Got Talent
I would heartily encourage any parent/carer who has not already done so to attend at least one of our Celebration Assemblies to witness the fantastic performances that we are treated to weekly. The standard of our acts just gets better and better. My sincere thanks to Miss Oxley for her hard work on making this feature a wonderful part of our weekly celebration.
On a wider note, congratulations to Daniel Brady and Stephanie Lund, who have been identified as potential future diving champions after a recent visit to school by the Diving Development Team.
Have a brilliant weekend,
Mr Wilson
