Well done to all of our fantastic winners! 🙂
Christmas Bingo Tickets on sale this week
This week, Year 6 will continue to sell tickets for the ‘Christmas Themed Family Bingo Night’ being held in the school hall on Tuesday 9th December. Last year’s events were a huge success and lots of fun was had by all who attended them.
This is a family event therefore all children must be accompanied by a grown-up so that they can play the game. Entrance tickets cost 50p per person – a ticket must be purchased for each person attending the event. Admission is by ticket only due to fire regulations.
If you would like to purchase tickets, please send money in an envelope clearly labelled with your child’s name, class and the number of tickets required. The Year 6 children will collect money from classrooms and allocate tickets accordingly.
Doors will open at 5:30pm with ‘Eyes Down’ at 6:00pm.
The bingo cards for each game will be on sale on the night and there will be 6 different coloured games during the evening with lots of Christmas / chocolate themed prizes. Bingo cards will be sold in booklets of 6 coloured strips for £5. Each coloured strip consists of 6 bingo cards. You can choose whether you want to buy a booklet each or buy a booklet and split it between your family. If you prefer you can buy 6 individual coloured game cards for £1. Of course, you can play as many cards as you can manage in each game. Check out some of the prizes that are on offer below.
Refreshments will be on sale during the evening and all funds raised are to go towards the Year 6 leavers and end of year celebrations.
I do hope you will be able to support us at this event. The more people who come the better the atmosphere so please do try to fit this event into your diary. Get on your Christmas jumpers and come and have some fun to start off the festive season!

Year 1 Phonics Family Learning
We are looking forward to welcoming everyone who has signed up for our Phonics Family Learning Event tomorrow. The hall doors will be open from 8:30am for adults to keep warm and have a warm drink. Please drop children off at their normal classroom doors at 8:30 and then make your way to the hall. Children will be registered in their classes and then will be brought down to work with their grownups at 9am.
In this session we will be showing you what your children do in their daily phonics and shared reading sessions and we will be sharing hints and tips about how you can help your child develop their reading fluency at home.
We really hope you can join us. Please make sure you have signed up using the link below as this will help us to prepare resources for you and your child.
Thank you,
Miss Schön and Miss Rodgers

Class 8 fantastic writing
The children have written their own stories, which are based on The Ugly Duckling which has been our key text. We have spent time editing and improving them and we then made them into book, with a front cover and a blurb! They look absolutely fantastic…well done Class 8 !
Year 1 Phonics Family Learning Reminder
Year 1 staff would like to invite you to our Phonics Family Learning event! The event will take place on Thursday 27th November 9:00am-10:00am. The session will be a live phonics lesson taught by Miss Schön or Miss Rodgers. You are invited to join your child in their phonics lesson so that you can understand how your child learns phonics in school.
Unfortunately we are unable to cater for younger siblings at this event as this will be the children’s daily phonics lesson.
The school hall will be open from 8:30am for hot drinks. Please access school via the hall. We ask that you arrive on time for a 9am start so as not to disrupt the children’s lesson with late arrivals.
It is important that we know who is attending this session so that we can place your child into a group that is most suitable for them. Please let us know if you plan to attend (or not) on the link below.
Thank you,
Miss Schön and Miss Rodgers
