Autumn 13                                      5 December 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

It’s been a wonderfully busy week in school, filled with music, sport and exciting events!

Music Assemblies
We were treated to two fabulous music assemblies.

  • Monday: Our drum and keyboard students who learn with Abbe Music performed confidently for the whole school.

  • Wednesday: Herons Class showcased everything they’ve learnt on the keyboard this term—what a talented group!

Football in the Rain!
On Tuesday, 20 determined children represented our school in competitive football matches at Bohunt. Despite the pouring rain, they played brilliantly and showed great team spirit. Well done to all involved and a huge thank you to the parents and Mrs Mifsud for taking the children and standing in the rain to watch!

National Quiz Championship
On Thursday, our quiz team took part in the semi-finals of the National Quiz Championships. They performed incredibly well, and we are very proud of them, even though they didn’t make it through to the final this time.

Christmas Craft Night – Tonight!
Don’t forget—Christmas Craft Night is happening this evening! We look forward to seeing families come together to create some festive fun.

Next Week
We are excited to gather together to watch the children perform the Nativity: ‘Wriggly Nativity’. It is sure to be a wonderful event.

Christmas Tree - I have sent out some begging letters for a Christmas tree, but sadly none have replied....anyone want to sponsor a tree?

The closing date for the Henry Adams Christmas 'Character that Moves' competition is Thursday 11th December, so please bring in your designs next week.  Two great prizes of Lego up for grabs! 

Parents with large cars/vans help please...

Thank you to the parents who collected the staging; it will need to go back next Friday morning so if anyone is available after drop off, we would be very grateful.

Have a great weekend.

Julie Robinson
