An Advent of Kindness

The School Council have been working with Mr. Howe on the school's mission and vision. They have asked to have the word "kind" as one of the words defining who we are so throughout December we are having an advent of kind deeds.

This week our kind acts are:

Monday-help a teacher to tidy up before break or lunchtime.

Tuesday-wish the dinner staff good morning.

Wednesday-help a classmate with their homework or reading.

Thursday-do your homework straight after school without an adult asking you to do it.

Friday-tell a teacher how much you appreciate what they teach.

Learning About A Victorian Christmas

Do you remember our Dickensian themed week in March? So many of our Christmas traditions have their origins from the time of Queen Victoria's reign that this week we are discovering all about how Victorians celebrated Christmas. I know that Year 6 are focusing on "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens and today's assembly will be the story of "The Little Match Girl, also written at that time.

Christingle

A reminder that the school's Christingle service led by Rev Child takes place in the school hall on Thursday morning. Adults are very welcome to join us.
