Dear Families
All pupils have had the opportunity to visit our amazing Grotto this week to receive a gift from Father Christmas! Younger pupils were especially excited to see the Elves and receive their gift.
This week's assembly was about holidays, how people feel about them and what we do during them. Pupils thought about how to strengthen their friendships, how to invest in their family relationships, trying new activities and keeping safe, both in the community and online.
One aspect of keeping safe is road safety, and we would ask all families coming onto the school site to please set a good example for our pupils by using the Zebra crossing or Bollards. Even if you are crossing without a child, pupils may see you and think it's OK to nip across a road. Thank you for your understanding with this. That additional 30 seconds could save a life!
Kind regards,
|

Pathway 1
Winter Celebration Performance
and Crafts Afternoon
Pathway 1pupils enjoyed hosting their parents, carers and families to view their Winter Celebration Performances on Diwali, Hanukkah and Christmas. It was so lovely seeing how proud each pupil was of their performance, and they were so excited to share this with their loved ones. Each class put tremendous effort in to ensure they had learnt their lines and perfected their dances. Many classes made sure to include Signalong, which is always great to see everyone getting involved. Parents, carers and families then joined in for some Winter Celebration crafts to finish off the afternoon.
Thank you to all who attended. It is so amazing to see the pupils’ faces light up when they see their loved ones join them at school. We look forward to inviting you all back next term for some Eid Celebrations.
