Happy New Year to all parents and pupils.
Children came in this morning all excited to share news about their gifts and treats. It was lovely to hear their stories and about the highlights being time spent with family.
Today was very productive and children worked hard for a first day back. They are now looking forward to developing our topic on Knights and Castles and are eager to make swords and shields. To enable them to do this could I please ask if you could collect a box from your supermarket – similar to the one shown which measures 40 x 50 x 30 cms – so that they can be cut up and shared? The cardboard has to be stiff enough to form a shield so boxes are ideal.
Children have also been asked to consider three points that are important to them as a family and to allocate a symbol to each point. For example a dove is a symbol of peace. Rose is a symbol of love… These symbols will then be transferred to their shields. The deadline for boxes is Monday 20th January.

I’ve got about 10 so far (from business next door who can give you more if needed). I’ll hand in to main office in morning.
Thank you very much. My cupboard is now full of cardboard that the children are eager to use.
