Weekly Riddle
What is the longest word in the dictionary?
*Last weeks’ answer - neither, they both weigh a
pound!!*
We are holding our Annual Christmas Fair on Friday 27th November 6-8pm. The event is
always well attended and includes lots of stalls and games, refreshments and entertainment. In addition,
there will be several small businesses selling their wares—a great opportunity to purchase some Christmas
presents!
We will be holding a non-uniform day on Thursday 26th November and would kindly request that children bring in a donation to the tombola please.
Also, if any parents or grandparents are able to bake some cakes for the cake stall, these would be appre-
ciated—please bring them to the school office on the morning of the Fair.
As you are aware, the PTA is an organisation of parents and staff, encouraging closer links between home and school. PTA’s
are best known for their fundraising work, such as events like school disco’s and Summer and Christmas Fairs. These events
not only raise funds intended to provide ‘extras’ not already provided by the school's main income, but an opportunity for
parents, staff and pupils to get together. Unfortunately, this year, we have had very few offers of help for the Christmas
Fair. The school staff work tirelessly to make these events happen, but without your support, the PTA may not be able to
continue. There are many different ways you can help, whether you have lots of time to offer or not. If you can’t commit to
a big job, look out for things you can do less frequently - anything would be appreciated! If you do have any time spare,
please do come and speak to us!
Art Exhibition
There is still time to purchase your child's art work. Payment of
£6.50 is to be sent in a named envelope with your child’s art work
number by Friday 27th November at the very latest. Thank you.
Scooter
A blue, metal scooter was accidently left in the
playground after school on Friday. If anybody
knows of it’s whereabouts, please let the office know. Thank you.
Cross Country
Due to the darker evenings, this will be the last week
of Cross Country Club.

Imagineering Club
We have a place available on the Imagineering
Club that Mrs Wheatley runs every Monday
night. We are looking for an enthusiastic, com-mitted Year 5 or Year 6 pupil who would like to
join this exciting new club. You must be able to
come every Monday between 3.15 and 4.15pm. If you are inter-
ested please bring a letter, signed by your parents or guardian,
stating your commitment to the club and giving permission for you
to come. There is only 1 place available so it is on a first come
first serve basis.
Year 2
Year 2 conducted science experiments to discover which sub-
stance made the most bubbles. They tested:
• Bubble Bath
• Soap
• Washing up Liquid
• Handwash
The children had to blow into the water to make the bubbles
and then carefully place paper on top of them to get the printed
design. This was rather messy but so much fun! The bubble
bath proved to be the best!
Cooking Club
Year 5
As part of their ‘Stargazing’ topic, year
5 children are designing and making
rockets out of Lego this week.
For improved behaviour and
concentration during the
session
Year 5
Children in Miss Dobbs’ class have written some amazing poems.
The Writer of this Poem
The writer of this poem is,
As cute as a little panda.
As beautiful as a unique flower,
As clever as a graceful dolphin.
As smart as a president in a suit,
As sweet as strawberries dipped into
chocolate.
As awesome as a turbo waterslide,
As cool as a fast go-cart.
~ Laura Ziernik
The Writer of this Poem
The writer of this poem is,
As soft as marshmallow.
As strong as a monster truck running
over cars,
As handsome as a prince charming.
As talented as David Beckham at
football,
As fast as the flash.
As funny as the best joke,
As silly as Christmas cracker jokes.
~ Bradley Wetherill
The Writer of this Poem
The writer of this poem is,
As made up as a movie star.
As kind as a teacher,
As musical as a guitar.
As crazy as a chipmunk,
As quiet as a drop of a pin.
As intelligent as a scientist,
As sensitive as a new born baby’s
skin.
~ Rebecca Bembridge
The Writer of this Poem
The writer of this poem is,
As imaginative as a dream.
As intelligent as a calculator,
As delicious as ice-cream.
As quiet as a whisper when being said,
As shy as a child when they meet
someone new.
As pretty as a view from the top of a
mountain,
As determined as a detective to find
out a clue.
As dramatic as an actor on a crazy
scene,
As lucky as a famous lottery winner.
As kind as a friend that is helpful,
As tasty as a school dinner.
~ Alicia Nicolaou
