Thank you for all the chocolate donations for the bingo. They are much appreciated! If your child wishes to send Christmas cards into school there will be a post box that they can place them in within school.

Angela |
Angela works hard all day, every day. She quietly gets on with her work and is keen to learn more and more. She particularly loves all the new learning we are doing in maths and tells me every day about how much she enjoys these
lessons. Angela is a child that could sit anywhere in our classroom and still do the right thing and be a role model to others, even when an adult is not watching her. All of this make her very deserved of this Happiness and High Standards award. Well done Angela! |

Anti bullying week
Next week is a national week focusing on anti bullying. I will be launching this with an assembly in school. We encourage the children to wear odd socks on Monday to celebrate our uniqueness! The theme this year is ‘Make a Noise about Bullying’. The link below has some more information about the focus and odd socks day!
Anti-Bullying Week 2023: Make A Noise About Bullying (anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk)
Healthy snacks and lunch boxes
As a school we encourage the children to eat a healthy balanced diet. This relates to any morning snack brought from home as well as packed lunches. Children are not to bring crisps or chocolate items for morning snack. Below is the link to the change for life website which has lots of great packed lunch ideas. Lunchboxes should not contain sweets, lollipops or fizzy drinks.

Robert has really impressed all the adults in Y4 this week with his hard work ethic in lessons. Robert is a delight to have in class and he has been working really hard to develop his vocabulary in our writing lessons; the ideas he contributes to our class vocabulary vault are amazing! Special mention must also be made of Robert’s score in his maths assessment this week – he has done really well and I am so proud of him. Keep it up Robert, we are so proud of you! |
Friday 3rd November

Welcome back to our second autumn term. This is a longer term but we have a lot to do before the Christmas break! I have already noticed some decorations going up in
homes around Bury though so it will be here before we know it.
Mrs. Foster
Mrs Foster will be having a break from school in February as she welcomes her first baby. We are all very excited for her and Mr. Foster and cannot wait for lots of baby cuddles! Her Year 1 teaching position will be covered and Mrs. Tomlinson, who was SENCO before Mrs. Foster arrived, will be picking up this role again in Mrs. Foster’s absence.
Secret Reader
This is an initiative we launched last year to promote a love of reading with our children. If you can spare 10 minutes or so at the start of end of the day, we would love it if you can surprise your child’s class by coming
in to read them a story of your choice. If it is near the end of the day, the child can then have the VIP status of leaving a little earlier with their grown up. The adult can be a parent, grandparent/aunt/uncle etc. Please quietly contact your child’s class teacher if you are interested in doing this or want more information.

Quinn has been an absolute pleasure to teach over the first term of the year. He likes the routines and structure of the day, and he has embraced them with such enthusiasm. I am so pleased that he can now wait longer for his turn during whole class teaching. He takes pride in all his new learning, and he is like a little sponge soaking up new information. Well done, Quinn.

Raven likes to be challenged but is also willing to take on board feedback to improve her work. Her behaviour and attitude to learning is exemplary and we are so proud of you – keep it up!
