Well done to the girls who played their first 2 football matches on Monday after school. Miss Brennan tells me they played so well. They lost their first match against Tyldesley primary 4-2. The Hindley match ended up 4-4, which was incredible because it was 4-0 to Hindley at half time. The girls battled hard to secure the draw. Good luck to the team playing again tonight against St. George’s Central and St. Ambrose Barlow.
On Wednesday we had 4 of our Y6’s out at the ATSA First Aid for Sports event. There they enjoyed practising some basic First Aid.
The pancakes certainly went down a treat on Wednesday! The children really enjoyed adding a range of toppings. Thank you so much to Charlotte for doing the shopping for the event, and to Stacie and the members from church for their support - Sandra, Janet, Jane and Nicky. I will share the total amount raised next week.
On Wednesday afternoon we had a theatre company in school for the juniors to launch this half-term’s online safety work. I hope the children have talked about this at home and the important messages shared. At the end of family worship this half-term we will share key messages for the different year groups. This will start with Years 5 & 6 next week following their family worship on Tuesday.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone at our Parent/ teacher meetings on Tuesday next week. If you have not already done so you will need to set up your Juniper account to book this. At the beginning of February you will have received an email from Juniper to create an account. You can also use this link to access your account: https://astleysaintstephen.ovw10.juniperwebsites.co.uk/page/?title=Parents%27+Evening+Bookings&pid=956.
On Thursday we have World Book Day. The theme this year is reading for pleasure, therefore on the 5th March we will be completing activities based around our favourite books. The children can dress up like their favourite book character or wear their own clothes, it’s completely your choice.
Let’s hope we get some more lovely weather over the weekend.
