particularly loves all the new learning we are doing in maths and tells me every day about how much she enjoys these
lessons. Angela is a child that could sit anywhere in our classroom and still do the right thing and be a role model to others, even when an adult is not watching her. All of this make her very deserved of this Happiness and High Standards award. Well done Angela!

Anti bullying week
Next week is a national week focusing on anti bullying. I will be launching this with an assembly in school. We encourage the children to wear odd socks on Monday to celebrate our uniqueness! The theme this year is ‘Make a Noise about Bullying’. The link below has some more information about the focus and odd socks day!
Anti-Bullying Week 2023: Make A Noise About Bullying (anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk)
Healthy snacks and lunch boxes
As a school we encourage the children to eat a healthy balanced diet. This relates to any morning snack brought from home as well as packed lunches. Children are not to bring crisps or chocolate items for morning snack. Below is the link to the change for life website which has lots of great packed lunch ideas. Lunchboxes should not contain sweets, lollipops or fizzy drinks.

Welcome back to our second autumn term. This is a longer term but we have a lot to do before the Christmas break! I have already noticed some decorations going up in
homes around Bury though so it will be here before we know it.
Mrs. Foster
Mrs Foster will be having a break from school in February as she welcomes her first baby. We are all very excited for her and Mr. Foster and cannot wait for lots of baby cuddles! Her Year 1 teaching position will be covered and Mrs. Tomlinson, who was SENCO before Mrs. Foster arrived, will be picking up this role again in Mrs. Foster’s absence.
Secret Reader
This is an initiative we launched last year to promote a love of reading with our children. If you can spare 10 minutes or so at the start of end of the day, we would love it if you can surprise your child’s class by coming
in to read them a story of your choice. If it is near the end of the day, the child can then have the VIP status of leaving a little earlier with their grown up. The adult can be a parent, grandparent/aunt/uncle etc. Please quietly contact your child’s class teacher if you are interested in doing this or want more information.

Quinn has been an absolute pleasure to teach over the first term of the year. He likes the routines and structure of the day, and he has embraced them with such enthusiasm. I am so pleased that he can now wait longer for his turn during whole class teaching. He takes pride in all his new learning, and he is like a little sponge soaking up new information. Well done, Quinn.

Raven
|
Raven is an enthusiastic learner and this attitude was reflected this week when Raven shared how happy she was to be back after the holiday because she ‘just loves to learn’. Raven likes to be challenged but is also willing to take on board feedback to improve her work. Her behaviour and attitude to learning is exemplary and we are so proud of you – keep it up!

Harvey

What an absolute star Havey is! He works his socks off in every lesson, is a great friend to others, makes very sensible choices and is kind and caring at all times. This week Harvey has been working very hard during our writing
lessons, he’s learnt to add two 2-digit
numbers and has even managed to de-bug an algorithm on Purple Mash. Keep up the hard work Harvey, you are a pleasure to teach!

Alyaan is a joy to have in Penguins class. He is kind, mature, considerate, amusing, keen, sensible and an expert in all-things general knowledge. I can always rely on Alyaan to set an excellent example to others and I love his work-hard, play-hard attitude. Well done and thank you Alyaan, I’m so proud and fortunate to be your teacher.

Jack

Jack has blown me away this week with his determination to do better and better in every lesson! Jack has shown a real change in attitude this week and it has been wonderful to see, especially with his maths. He has earned so many pride points for his effort and it’s been lovely to see how proud he looks when he has completed his work to his best standard! Keep it up Jack, we are all so proud of you!
