A note from our School Council and Wellbeing Ambassadors: 
For this year's Children In Need 2023, Joe Wicks has set us a challenge to do 1,000 "bearpees" or more. Each class will be taking part in this everyday for our fitness break next week - Asteroids will do 15, Comets will do 10 and Rockets will do 5 everyday. If this goes to plan, we hope to achieve over 1,000 "bearpees" over the week. If you feel able to sponsor your child, they will be sent home with a sponsor form today. If you prefer, your child may bring into school a small donation on Friday 17th November when all children and staff are invited to wear fitness or sportswear for the day. Donations or sponsor money can also be made via ParentPay if this is more convenient. Via the following link https://app.parentpay.com/ParentPayShop/Foc/Default.aspx?shopid=13121 
 
  
Reminders 
 
  
Help needed! 
We are keen to further develop the wildlife area at the back of our outdoor classroom and the raised beds outside of the hall. The children have lots of exciting ideas for these, but we really need some help to develop these. 
If any parents have some time to give to help develop these, or know someone in our community who could help, we would be really grateful for their support. 
This could be by running an afterschool club alongside a staff member from school, or giving some time each week during the school day to help. 
If you are able to help, or know someone who is, please contact the school office.
