Headteacher

Dear Parents/Carers, 

A huge thankyou to all who donated to/attended the MacMillan Coffee Morning here today, raising money for a charity that is so dear to our hearts. The Y6 pupils in Miss Fox’s class and teachers did a great job organising and coordinating the morning, making brews, serving cakes and helping me decide which one to have for breakfast! Thanks also for donating money so that your child could have a cake too – they went down very well as you can imagine!

Walk To School – WOW!

Please get behind the children in support of walk to school month in October. As we know, there are multiple health and well-being benefits to walking to school. One of the best bits is the badge they are rewarded with at the end of each month! Please see Mrs Bower’s PM for further details. 

Planet Protectors

Our planet protectors are on a mission to help us look after our local and global environment. They are passionate and committed, meeting every other Friday to discuss priorities in school. A group of our planet protectors attended the Wigan ECO Conference this week, sharing their ideas on how we can better use the resources on our planet and ideas around sustainability. More to follow on this later this term. 

Coats

As the weather turns more autumnal (i.e. cold and wet!), can I ask that all children have a coat with them in school every day. Thankyou. Have a great weekend and I look forward to seeing you next week, Mr Aldridge
