Today Thomas chose to write independently the words from one of his favourite songs, If I was a butterfly… Well done Thomas- superb writing.
In January, Joyce Meyer’s Ministries visited our school to learn about our spiritual helpdesks. They have just published this article about our school. We hope that you find the feature encouraging.
EVERYDAY ANSWERS WITH JOYCE MEYER
On Monday we had a great turn out for our reading and spelling parent workshop. As promised, we have put all the resource materials that we used on our school website.
The parent support page is linked to the FS1, FS2, Year 1 and Year 2 class pages.
We hope that you found the afternoon useful and would appreciate suggestions for further parent workshops.
Thank you,
From Friday, House Sinai are selling prayer beads in the school library for £1:50.
The beads remind the children of what they might like to pray for. For example, family, hope or courage.
The children are also selling Lord’s Prayer bracelets. These bracelets are to help children learn the Lord’s Prayer.
All money raised will go towards developing the outdoor area. We will keep you posted on how much money we have raised and what we have bought for the children.
Well done House Sinai!

Carmel’s Easter Treasure Hunt was a great success today. We will announce the winning house in collective worship tomorrow.
A huge thank you to the House Carmel’s Leaders. They organised the whole day and demonstrated their superb leadership skills.
The PTA rewarded all children with a chocolate egg- this was a welcome treat after the fast pace treasure hunt -in the cold Spring air!
Look who came to visit me today! These FS2 children have been writing their own version of Whatever Next-independently. These impressive 4 and 5 year old children are writing:
-at length
-in full sentences
-remember how to spell tricky words
-use good vocabulary
You SUPER STARS!
Thank you for for supporting House Carmel’s book sale with your kind book donations.
The book sale went really well but has been cut short due to school closing. So when we return to school we will continue to sell books at break times.
We have a great selection of good quality books and most books cost 50p. All money raised will go towards buying new seating for the library area.
Thank you
House Carmel are raising money to buy better seating in the library area. So if you have any unwanted books then please donate them to school. House Carmel are then going to sell the books at breaks and lunchtimes.
Please give all donations to Ailsa, Oliver or Charlie from year 6 or to Mrs Gurner by 26th February.
Thank you,
House Carmel
Book Week 26th February – 2nd March
“Book in a box” competition
Our Book Week Competition this year is to create a “book in a box” with super prizes for every year group!
You will need a box, which can be a cereal box, shoe box or equivalent. Choose your favourite book and decorate your box (inside and out) to represent the different parts of the book.
You could draw or cut out pictures of the characters or significant objects from the book.
You could recreate a scene from the book inside.
Include interesting quotes from the text.
Don’t forget to include the title and author of the book too.
Make it as colourful and exciting as you can.
For inspiration look at examples of books in boxes on Google “book in box project ideas”. Also Google “book in a box Southam Primary school” and they have some great ideas on their website too.
Label your box clearly with your name and year group and bring your box by Monday 26th of February for judging. Prizes will be awarded at our celebration of the week assembly on Friday 2nd March.
Get Creative!
