As we begin the first week of Advent, we have had a busy week…
Monday saw Year 5 take part in a Speed Ops morning, with the local police force, to talk to motorists who were exceeding the 30mph speed limit outside the school, along Stakes Hill Road. Although the temperature was very cold, the children enjoyed the experience of being able to ask motorists to reflect on the consequences of speeding. Some children even got to operate a speed gun!
Tuesday saw years 3-6 celebrate our Advent Mass at Sacred Heart Church. It was a lovely reflective message of hope as we enter the period of Advent. A huge thank you to all parents who helped walk the children to the church.
And finally…
A huge congratulation to Jasmine and Connie for their amazing trophy haul from a recent weekend dance competition. They won the trophies for various catergories including streetdance, solo, disco and slow. Incredible achievement! Well done and maybe we are looking at future Strictly Come Dancing professionals! Keep dancing…
