Newsletter 19th March 2010

A belated Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all our families with Irish connections. Some of our Year 3 and 4 children went to a Netball Tournament at Warwick University and won 2 and drew 2 of their games, well done to our team.

Our School council hosted a visit by the School council of ‘The Revel C.E. Primary School’ located in Monks Kirby in Warwickshire. We visited their school the next day. Our liaison is based on ways we can work together and promote Christian Learning between our schools.

We had a very active assembly on Thursday when all staff and children enjoyed a lively dance and exercise session led by the Animated Dance Company who organise classes at the Heart of England School. All children had access to the company details if parents are interested in letting a child attend the sessions. The company will be back later in the year to lead a whole day session with all classes.

Thank you for supporting the ‘Sports Relief’ charity. Our school raised £160.47

Well done to our Year 3 for leading such a lively and interesting assembly. It is really rewarding to see children growing in confidence.

Some of our Year 5 attended a day of ‘Schools of Sanctuary’ work. A project undertaken by local primary schools and Westwood School.

Next Friday, Mrs Middleton who will be the next and permanent Head Teacher of Leigh C.E Primary School will be here to meet parents and staff and pupils. Do join us in assembly and stay to have a chat with Mrs Middleton.

Later on next Friday at 2.45pm our Year 4 children will be presenting their work completed with Matt Bramhall a professional musician. All are welcome to attend. Parents attending can take their child home when the assembly finishes.

May we remind parents that school closes for the end of Spring Term at 2.30pm on Thursday April 1st
