SEAL :        THE THEME FOR THIS WEEK IS: ‘What makes me Excited?’

Why not talk about events that make your child excited?

 

After School Club

This was run by Reza with the support of Jack Taylor staff Jane, Robert, Sharon and Shelia.

10 students attended. We recently had a display of their fantastic art work that they produced during these activities using clay, film, paints and animation.

 

The Roundhouse Project

A group of 9 students have been attending the Round House this term for music sessions.  Each session had a different theme. The students explored different sounds related to the environment around us; Going to work, space travel.  The students and staff thoroughly enjoyed the project and look forward to join projects in the future.

END OF YEAR SHOW

 

The school Christmas performance will take place this year on

Wednesday 16^th December.

 

Unfortunately only a small number of parent and carers attended last year’s performance so this year we want to increase the number of parents, carers, families and friends that attend.

This is a great way to celebrate together the end of the first term and the end of another year. The children have worked hard and are proud of their achievements and want to be able to share this with their families.

Please come and celebrate with us.

 

As we are eager to find out what would suit parents and carers the best,  we have attached a questionnaire to the newsletter to find out your preferences.

Please can you fill in the form and return to school tomorrow or soon after.

 

 

SEAL :        THE THEME FOR THIS WEEK IS: ‘What makes me Excited?’
