Friday Club with Mrs Mayers

This week's Friday Club was... Ben, Uria, Andrei, Kahtaliya and Niamh

Well done to all of you! You have been recognised for being ACE and for consistently going 'over and above'

Our Rights Respecting School Article of the Week is...

Article 2 - No discrimination

We have been thinking about our uniqueness and the importance of being proud of who we are and respecting others too.

In Assembly we have been learning about...

We have been thinking about how our actions speak louder than words. We reflected on the story of two brothers asked to do some work for their father. 

The first made a promise to do the work, but did not fulfil it, and the second, told his father he would not do it, but after reflection did in fact carry out the work.

We discussed "which of the two did the will of his father?" - Matthew 21:31

Question of the Week...

Which is the odd one out: piano, tambourine or recorder? Why?

Key Information for Next Week

Next week, the children will be bringing home their Christmas card designs. If you would like to, you can order the designs to be made into cards or other products.

All of the information on how to do this will be sent home, alongside the children's artwork, next Friday 9th October.

Order forms and artwork needs to be returned to school by Friday 16th October
