Friday Bulletin & Diary Dates – 19th October 2018

19 October 2018

Dear Parents and Carers,

It’s hard to believe we have reached the end of this half term. We’ve had a busy and extremely productive half term with all sorts of variety including our science week, visits to the Great North Exhibition and finishing with some lovely harvest themed assemblies this week.

Over the last few weeks, Mr Colligan and his team of Sports Councillors have launched the ‘Daily Mile’ in school. The Daily Mile is a social physical activity, with children running or jogging – at their own pace – in the fresh air with friends. Children can occasionally walk to catch their breath, if necessary, but should aim to run or jog for the full 15 minutes. It is important your child has appropriate footwear for the daily mile. Please click on the link for more information (https://thedailymile.co.uk/).

Next term, we will be thinking about Remembrance and getting ready to celebrate Christmas. There are lots of things going on in school over the coming weeks so do please check the bulletin for weekly updates.

Have a lovely half term break.

 

Yours sincerely,

Mrs A Whistler

Headteacher
