At Assembly this week the children were talking about respect . This includes good listening, caring for others, encouraging each other and being pleased for each others’ successes.  It also means remembering to say please and thank you and being kind to each other.

We celebrated our wider achievements. If your child is doing anything outwith the school that the rest of the boys and girls would like to hear about at Assembly, please let the school know.

To help celebrate Roald Dahl day we ask children to come dressed as their favourite  Roald Dahl character on Wednesday 14 September. Roald Dahl’s books were about children being kind and caring even when life is super tough.

We are not asking for a donation from the children as a donation from the school staff  will be sent to support the Roald Dahl charity for children who are seriously ill and being brave. If anyone wishes to contribute, a box will be available just inside the front door of the main school entrance.

Being brave is about feeling scared but carrying on anyway. Being kind is being kind and generous to someone else. The nurses, who look after sick children, are super kind and are amazing!

Can you discuss with your child about a time when they have been kind or brave to help us to celebrate on 14 September.
