Christmas Parties
Yesterday, the children enjoyed their class Christmas parties. They played games in the hall, decorated their tables and enjoyed their party food. Father Christmas even found time to pop in and give each child a book for Christmas.

Young carers are people aged between 5 and 18 years old who have a responsibility for looking after or helping someone else to look after a person who has a disability, a long term illness, mental health illness, Autism/ADHD or someone addicted to drugs or alcohol. That person could be your mum, dad, brother, sister, grandparent or even a close friend or neighbour.
Thursday 30th January is National Young Carers’ Day. We will be holding an assembly in school to raise awareness.
Here is the Young Carers New edition for 2019:
The whole school took part in watching the live book read this morning and were treated to the book ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas’ which was read by Father Christmas himself! Over a thousand schools had joined in the festive fun which was followed by a live quiz.

Everyone enjoyed a fantastic Christmas Dinner by our amazing Aspens staff. The food was delicious; it was enjoyed by both children and staff alike. The parsnips and roast potatoes stood out amongst a very competitive field as being particularly tasty! The presentation of the food area was excellent. As always, our Aspens staff go the extra mile to make the event extra special. Thank you!

We have confirmed out list of clubs for the Spring Term. Following recent parent voice, we have ensured that all year groups have access to at least one extra-curricular club. To sign up, please go online to SIMS Pay.
This morning, the children came into the classroom to find they’d had a visit from ‘The Evil Pea’. He had caught all of Supertato’s vegetable friends and tied them up! Supertato was away on holiday so Year 1 were keen to help. They created their own Supertato characters, gave theme superpowers and helped to free the vegetables. They wrote some amazing sentences about their characters!

It’s fantastic to see so many of our children using our school values in and out of school. Congratulations to all of our Stars of the Week and pupils receiving their Bronze Certificate.
Teamwork ♦ Respect ♦ Integrity ♦ Enjoyment ♦ Discipline
And, huge congratulations to Mr Kelley for all of your hard work and essay writing resulting in being awarded your Postgraduate Certificate In Special Educational Needs Coordination.

This morning Year 6 took part in the Sports Hall Athletics Competition at the Xcel Centre. They were competing with three other local schools and faced some really tough competition. Our children came 2nd place overall which is a great achievement! Well done Year 6 for showing great teamwork, enjoyment and discipline and we couldn’t have been prouder of how you represented our school.
