What a Response!
Thank you so much for your generous response to the PTA ‘Christmas Jumper’ event
today. The children looked fabulous with such an array of festive and funny
sweaters and our amazing PTA have been able to create an incredible 14 Hampers and
lots of other prizes for the prize draw. A reminder that the draw will take place at the end
of the Movie Night, Friday 15th December. Tickets for the Movie night will have to be
purchased by Wednesday 13th December.
There is no admission without a ticket in
advance.
The
Christmas
Post Box
Has been in
place for the
last week.
Remember to
address who
the card is to
and the
recipient’s
class name.
There are
daily
deliveries!
E-Safety Day
Paul Hay of PCLS Training led an E-Safety
day for the whole school on Thursday 7th De-
cember. Every child had the opportunity to see
the importance of staying safe on-line and how
vulnerable they could be if they are not careful.
We constantly discuss e-safety in school and
what children have to do in order to stay safe.
It is sometimes powerful to have somebody
different give the same message!
Not many parents attended the session in the
afternoon, but those that did reported that it
was extremely useful.
We have received a letter from Hampshire
Constabulary today informing us of
inappropriate material being available through
social media platforms—Snapchat, Whatsapp,
Instagram and other channels. Please
encourage your child to talk to you or
another trusted adult if they have any
concerns.
Pyramid Carol Concert
On Wednesday, 40 members of the
School Choir walked to The
Arnewood School for the annual car-
ol concert. Six local schools per-
formed two Christmas songs each
and combined in a rendition of
‘Jingle Bells’ as the finale.
Our choir sang very well and were a credit to the school throughout the whole afternoon. Thanks go to the parent volunteers
who helped on our walk to
Arnewood and to all parents, carers
and friends who came to support the
concert.
There have been several
complaints about inconsiderate
parking during the school pick-
up. Please do not park on the
pavement—it blocks access for
others and causes unnecessary
distress.

Attitude Checks
You will receive an attitude check for your child on Mon-
day 11th December. We think it is important that you are
aware of how your child is engaging with school, whether
they are taking full advantage of the opportunities offered
and working hard.
