Headteacher Message
Since my last newsletter, Europe and Asia have had their class assemblies. I was so impressed with the performances and it’s great to hear about everything the children have been learning. We certainly have a talented group of children in school – well done to all.
Well done also, to our year 3 and 4 children who took part in a bowls competition last Tuesday. Mrs James was very impressed with their team work. Miss Byford is taking some keen KS1 footballers to a competition on Monday. We also have a team of Year 5/6 children who are representing Great Waltham at the archery finals on Wednesday. Good luck everyone.
Yesterday, myself and some governors attended the licensing service for Reverend Dan, the new vicar at St Mary and St Lawrence Church. It was a lovely service and we are looking forward to working closely with him over the coming year.
Eco Christmas Hat Parade
This year our Christmas hat parade will take place on Monday 12th December. The children will make their hats in the morning before parading them around the school hall for all to see. In an aim to be more environmentally friendly we are asking that the hats are made up of recycled materials as much as possible, such as old Christmas decorations or cards. Please can the children bring their materials into school with them on the 12th.
FOGWS
A huge thank you to all the members of the FOGWS who have been busy working behind the scenes over the past few weeks organising the Christmas Bazaar. I will keep you updated on how much money they have raised for the children. If you would like to help organise future events, please do volunteer as we really appreciate it.
Facebook
Please don’t forget to follow the school on Facebook, I send out reminders about events such as non-uniform days - Here is the link: Facebook
Bird Area
A huge thank you to Sarah Whittaker-Axon for being our garden fairy. Sarah came into school over the weekend and cleared our wild bird area. We really appreciate this and I’m sure the birds do to!
