We were thrilled to have our first assemblies with Reverend Smith today.
Room 8 created the ‘perfect storm’ in their garden.

Even with all of the excitement and anticipation that Pirate day brings, Year 5 still manage to work hard!
We are really proud of Eliot’s beautiful art work inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Night.
This Friday is ‘Wear What You Want’ for Children in Need. Room 8 have PE on Friday, they are welcome to come in to school in an outfit of their choice but if you would like your child to get changed for PE then please send them with a ‘school PE kit’ so they can get changed. Otherwise they will do PE in their own clothes but they are likely to get very dirty. Thank you.
If you have any old school uniform, PE kit or footwear that you would like to donate to school, we would really appreciate it. You can drop it into school when you collect your new uniform on Tuesday or Wednesday or drop it off at drop off or pick up time.
Some of you might of heard about a course that school runs called, ‘Understanding your Child, The Solihull Approach’. I know that a number of parents have asked when it will be running again? The simple answer is, ‘We don’t know!’ What we do know is that it is a brilliant course and we can’t recommend it enough.It gives such a brilliant insight into the way our children are ‘wired’ and the best way to support them and helps to rationalise the way that we all behave, as children and grownups!
We are able to offer all of our parents a free, online version of this course. It will mean that the discussion, which is so important in the group sessions, won’t be there but the content is still wonderful.
If you would like to do the course please follow this link;

Look for ‘course 3’ and in the ‘Enter Access Code’ box, type in Darwin18
Good luck to anyone who has a go. If you do and would like to have a discussion group, I am more than happy to set one up. Please email me giles.v@pontesbury.shropshire.sch.uk.
Thank you all so much for your donations of bottles for our Christmas craft fair. Everyone in school is totally overwhelmed by your generosity. You are all amazing!
If any of you lovely people could spare an hour on Saturday 23rd November, to help at our Christmas Craft Fair, please speak to Mrs Giles or the school office. We are a little bit desperate for help in the kitchen and on a couple of stalls. An hour of your time would make all of the difference.
We have got so much lost property in school that it is spilling out into the entrance of school.
There are a lot of PE jumpers, school jumpers and even football boots. All of the items are unnamed. Please come into school anytime during the day to have a look, as we will soon be recycling everything that has been left behind.
During half term please can you spend some time naming everything that your children bring into school – including coats, PE jumpers, water bottles and shoes etc. Thank you as this will make reuniting abandoned items with the children so much easier!
