Outside the classroom, we have had our first term of breakfast and supper club. Now that more people are going back into the office, it is wonderful to offer our parents the flexibility to drop early or pick up late. We have also had our first term of a whole host of new clubs. Little St Bs, our Parent-Toddler group continue to be very popular and the Early Years children are loving Nature Bs, our outdoor learning initiative.   Junior Dukes has been a roaring success, as has LAMDA. These soft skills are so important - it is wonderful to watch our children grow in confidence and independence.

School trips have been taken to new heights, with a visit to see The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and The Harry Potter Studios. I'm sure Year 6 and Year 3 will be looking forward to their residential trips coming up later in the academic year.  The Assemblies, Liturgies and Nativities have been wonderful, and we have loved sharing them with parents, carers and grandparents.

This week has typified the term - with more events than ever! Our lovely FOPS organised an incredible Christmas Bazaar for the children on Monday, on Tuesday our Early Years children went to the panto, Wednesday was Christmas jumper day, Christmas lunch and a visit by none-other than Rudolph's reindeer friends, Hurricane and Flash. On Thursday our older children went to the panto and sang carols in Windsor to raise money for Shelter and Alexander Devine Trust and today Remove have been singing carols at The Windsor Farm Shop.

It has been a fantastic start to the school year, and I'm excited to see what the remainder of the school year has in store for us. As always, thank you for all your continued support.

Head Teacher's Challenge

This holiday we would like you to draw characters or objects that represent your favourite story book. The items you draw should give us clues as to what the story book is about.

Eg. Charlie and the Chocolate factory - Winning ticket, Mr Wonka’s hat, Sweets, an Oompa Loompa

Some of you might like to rise to the challenge and fill a real jar as well!

All entries need to be in for the first Monday of term.

Giving at Christmas

Thank you so much for all your generosity over the Advent period. We now have a number of wonderfully stocked hampers and so many bags of kindness. There will be many families delighted to receive these gifts at Christmas, thank you.
