Dear All,
I start with some fantastic news. Yesterday the tag rugby team competed in the Gillingham Schools Tag Rugby Festival at North Dorset Rugby Club and they came third! A fantastic achievement, with the team made up of years 3,4,5 and 6 children. Also this week five children achieved their Level 2 Bikeability and 29 children received certificates for completing the Summer Library Reading Challenge. Well done to all involved, another super achievement.
After half term there is much to look forward to. On the Monday when we return, we will be celebrating Diwali with a whole school workshop including Diya Painting and Bollywood dancing. On Friday 4th November there will be a celebration assembly at 9am followed by the Curriculum Showcase up until break-time at 10.30am. A great opportunity for you to see what your child has been doing this half term. This will include work from the Diwali day and our whole school topic ‘Lighting the Way’. All are welcome to attend.
Just a reminder that there will be a talk for Conker’s reception parents on Monday 31st October at 3.30pm. Mrs Edmed will introduce you to Tapestry, which is an online learning journal used in school and which will now be available for parents to contribute to.
Thank you for all the shoe boxes that have been sent into school for the Rotary appeal. Whatever you are doing over the half term break, have a great week.
Kind regards
Martin Marshall
