A message from Mrs Shipp
It was lovely to see our Y5 and Y6 pupils return this afternoon - we have missed them, whilst they were in Horstead. There are some photos on our Twitter account - take a look! We will add some to our website next week too.
Reverend Chris talked to the children about Simeon and Anna in this week's collective worship. We thought about rescuing people in relation to Jesus, and the types of rescues with which our children would be familar - air ambulance, coastguard etc.
Our Chair Of Governors, Mr Logan, and I were delighted to attend Reverend Chris' Institution, Induction and Installation as Team Rector for Forest Heath at Gazeley Church this week. We extend our warmest wishes and congratulations to Reverend Chris for securing his new role. Don't worry - he will still lead collective worship fornightly in school. Thank you to Maddie in Y4 for attending with her family.
Please do try and support our friends at Moulton Pre-School for their spring disco - see poster below. There is also information on Easy Fundraising below.
Next week is our last week before the half-term break. There is a poster below with details for our after-school club's sessions that week.
Mrs Chittock, our Y2 teacher, is due to have an operation on 14th February, which requires several weeks' recovery. Year 2 parents and carers will have received a separate email this afternoon.
After the half-term break, there will be parents' evenings. Mrs Manning will be in touch shortly with booking arrangements.
Special mentions
A huge well done to one of our Y2 pupils who achieved her junior parkrun ‘half marathon’ distance wristband in recognition of her completing eleven runs (2km x 11). She also set a new personal best at the same time! See photo below.
It was a pleasure to look at Maisie's (Y3) awards for horse riding. I was amazed at how high she can jump!
Mia (Y3) has received a card from His Majesty King Charles III and Queen Camilla to thank her for writing to them. It really is a special and beautiful card.
Thank you to Ben and Charlie from Y3, who made me a lovely card this week.
Thank you so much to Daisy in Reception, who has shown endless patience with me this week.
Thank you to Keira (Y2), Martha (Y4), Sophie (Y1) and Peyton (Y3), who have all stopped and chatted to me this week when I have been in the corridor - always a pleasure!
Thank you to Lexi (Y3) and Cinderella (Y6) who showed compassion and kindness to a Reception child at lunchtime.
Well done to Aiden (Y3) for his confidence to seek help for a missing item, and then his excellent teamwork with me as we tried to locate it.
Well done to Camilla (Y2), Rupert (R), Lydia (Y3) and Jaxon (R)for their continued excellent manners, which I have again noticed a few times this week.
I am sure that there will be lots of special mentions for our Y5 and Y6 Horstead children, who will have overcome many fears, no doubt, and not to mention the cold and wet weather! The leaders said that our pupils showed great resilience and 'just got on with it' in the bleak conditions.
Have a lovely weekend - see you on Monday!
