Remembrance
This weekend marks Remembrance Sunday with Remembrance Day following on Monday 11th November. Children at school will mark it by a 2 minute silence and some Year 6 children will be heading over to the Peace Garden to lay a wreath and take part in the Remembrance Service.
It is such an important part of our history and one that should never be forgotten. Teaching the children about reliance, patience and hope is important for every day life and to remember the sacrifice all who lived through the World Wars and many wars after and their ‘hope’ of a better tomorrow.

10th (Sunday) to 17th (Sunday) November INTER FAITH WEEK
Begining on Remembrance Sunday and running until the following Sunday each year, Inter Faith week seeks to strengthen good inter-faith relations, increase awareness of the different and distinct faith communities in the UK, and increase understanding between people of religious and non-religious beliefs. Visit www.interfaithweek.org for more. Inter Faith Week is led by the Inter Faith Network for the UK.
Some of the things we have been getting up to - remember to keep an eye on Seesaw or Class Dojo for news and events for each class:
It was fantastic to see so many happy parents this week at our first Parents’ Meetings of the year. I am sure there were many treats given following the meetings. We are so proud of all of the hard work that the children are putting in and know that so much of that is also with the support of you at home.
I am really looking forward to our birthday celebrations starting on the 18th November. Remember to check last week’s Newsletter for any details about your child’s class decade (EYFS can choose any decade or come in their own clothes).
Quick reminder about the Parents’ and Guardians’ Meetings this Tuesday for Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 - please make sure you book your meeting time and contact the school office or your child’s class teacher through Class Dojo or Seesaw (EYFS) if you are struggling to book it.
Hope that you are having a lovely weekend.
