Weekly Update
Fri 20 Oct 2017Thank you everyone for your support this half-term. We have had a great start to the new school year. All our new pupils have settled in really well. As you are aware, Church was used instead of school yesterday for polling. This meant that school was able to stay open for the day. We would like to thank Rector Martin and the P.C.C. for supporting us with this. Last night, in the torrential rain, sixteen of our Junior pupils took part in the ATSA cross-country competition. We are so proud of each and every one of them! Well done to Zac, Theo, Toby, Leon, Freya, Glenita, Faith, Scarlett, Jyus, Faye, Jasmine, Mia, Anna, Ole, Aidan & Harrison. Particular mention goes to Jasmine and Jyus, our medal winners. Jasmine came first in the Upper Juniors girls event, and Jyus came third in the Upper Junior boys. A huge thank you to all the family members who braved the weather. Hopefully you have now dried out! Unfortunately, the tag rugby didn’t go ahead this afternoon. We have break up for the half-term break. Next half term we have a number of things happening- including a non-uniform day on Friday 3rd November (where the children are asked to bring in something for the Christmas Fair) and Children in Need (Friday 17th November). Look out for the next newsletter as we come back to school. See you on Monday 30th October, when the school photographer will be with us. Have a lovely break.

Parents Evening
Tue 17 Oct 2017Thank you to everyone who came along to our meetings yesterday, and for those of you who completed the questionnaire. If you missed that, and would like to do so, please call at the office for a copy. I hope you all found the meetings useful. Can I please remind you that school will remain open on Thursday 19th October. Church is being used as the polling station.
Yesterday, we shared Evelyn's news in assembly. As part of our work on Koinonia we looked at the firefly and how it gives off light. We likened this to when people see the good behaviour and the kind things we do, we are like a light shining in the darkness. Evelyn decided to support her friend, Ellie, and completed Humphrey's Lantern walk on Sunday, raising £270 for Royal Manchester Children's Hospital Charity. A real example of making your light shine. Well done Evelyn!

Weekly Update
Fri 13 Oct 2017As we come to the end of another week I would like to award my Headteacher’s awards to Year 2 and Year 5. This is the first time Year 5 have received my award this year. I am really pleased with their improved behaviour both in the classroom and out on the yard. Keep it up Year 5! Our swimming team took part in a gala on Wednesday afternoon. Well done to Kian, Charlie, Matthew, Olivia G, Faye, Megan, Tyler & Liberty. We start next week with our Parent meetings on Monday. You should now have your appointment time (s). Please contact your child’s teacher if not. This week you should have received information regarding the election of 2 parent governors. The information is on our website (under the parents section). On Tuesday from 2.45 – 3.15pm Emma Teale and Colin Shackleton (former parent Governors) are available to speak to any parents considering becoming a parent governor. The closing date is Friday 20th October, 12.00 noon. On Wednesday Rector Martin will be in Church with us for our Church Service. Refreshments will be served before the service from 2.30pm. On Thursday the by-election is being held in the Church. School will remain open. Next Friday we close at 3.15pm for the half-term break. Have a great weekend.

Weekly Update
Fri 06 Oct 2017Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Harvest Service this week, and for all the items sent into school. All the food will be going to the local foodbank and Barnabus, a Homeless Charity based in Manchester. Thank you to Mrs Ogden for putting the service together, and to the members of the PA who sorted out the refreshments. Yesterday the Fire Service came into school to talk to our Y6 pupils about keeping safe and anti-social behaviour. My Headteacher’s Awards have gone to Reception and Year 3. I can’t believe our Reception children have only been in school full-time for 4 weeks. They have settled in exceptionally well. Our Year 3’s continue to do a great job in the Juniors. Well done! We had hoped to hold some discos next week. Unfortunately, they have had to be postponed, and will now be taking place in the Spring term. We have a vacancy at the moment for a level 2 teaching assistant to support in Breakfast Club each morning. Please see the council website for more details. Don’t forget the Jazz & Beer Festival over the weekend. Events are taking place both in school and Church. The photo is of our Ethos team. Have a lovely week-end.

Look what Y3 have been up to!
Fri 06 Oct 2017Yesterday Year 3 had a visit from Nurse Victoria, from Salford Royal. She explained how the hospital try to mend broken bones, from our head all the way to our toes! She brought with her neck braces, splints, collar and cuffs, slings, pelvis binder, crutches, bandages and plaster. Every child had the chance to have a go on crutches and be bandaged up. I hope none of our children managed to convince parents these were real injuries!! Thank you to Nurse Victoria who volunteered her time to come into Year 3 for such an exciting afternoon, a visit that cost us nothing!

Harvest Service
Tue 03 Oct 2017A reminder that it's our Harvest Service in the morning. The children are asked to drop off their items (tinned foods or packet foods please) at Church in the morning ahead of the service. Some members of the Parent's Association will be on hand in the morning making refreshments before the service. We hope to see you there.
