Good evening,
We have finished what has been such a long half term, in such a brilliant way!
Whilst we celebrate the learning and behaviour this half term, we also celebrate the enrichment. We have had three football matches and a netball tournament this week and I thank Mr O'Reilly for organising everything for this. We are so proud of how the children are playing and improving.
Chaffinch had a wonderful day at Wellington College for a Harvest Celebration on Tuesday. It was great to hear them talk about it with such interest and enjoyment. Today, Cala Homes joined Key Stage 2 for a session on safety near building sites. We took this opportunity to thank them for the redecoration work in Bullfinch and School House and they were delighted to see the classrooms in full use. The work on our Rosefinch outdoor classroom is progressing and I know you will see a complete difference after half term.
We are finishing the half term in the best way - with a disco! The children have had a fantastic time and I thank FOFSA for organising it so well but also thank you to parents for your support.
I wish you all a lovely half term and I hope the staff have a well-deserved rest. NSsport will be running throughout the holiday and you can book places online.
Next half term will be full of progress, exciting learning and of course Christmas, we certainly need a break before that!
Thank you for your ongoing support.
With kind regards
Jacquie Vanstone
