Hello everyone,
It's hard to believe we're already in December, isn't it? The school is buzzing with excitement as we approach the festive season, and I'm excited to share some updates with you all.
First off, I wanted to say a warm Sheet welcome to Mr Wyman (Maisie's dad) who applied to be a parent governor last week and was duly elected. Welcome to the team Charlie good to have you on board!
We had the lovely Mrs Glanville's birthday this week.
Also, I want to give a big shout-out to our Young Voices choir. They've been practising their hearts out for the upcoming concert in January. Keep up the fantastic work, everyone, and continue over the holidays!
I'm pleased to report that our nasal flu vaccinations went smoothly. It's always a relief when these important health initiatives are carried out without a hitch.
We had a special visit from Shine Radio recently. They came in to interview our pupils and staff about Christmas at Sheet. It was wonderful to hear our school community sharing their thoughts and experiences. Who knows, we might have some budding radio stars in our midst!
A heartfelt thank-you goes out to all who've contributed to our mini Christmas fair preparations. Whether it's for the tombola, the Year 6 stall or a gift for the reverse calendar, every single gift makes a difference. Your generosity is warming to see.
Excitement is building for our Infant performance of 'Cinderella'. We've set the stage, and the show will start next week. Buy your tickets for Tuesday 10th December at 2pm and 4pm, and Wednesday 11th December at 2pm and 4pm. Remember, children will stay at school between performances, but there's no provision for siblings. Don't forget to pack a hearty snack for your little performers to enjoy between the 3.15pm finish and pick up at 5pm.
Now, hold onto your Santa hats because we've got something special coming up! Next Friday, Friday 13th December from 3.15-4.30, we're hosting a Santa Fun Run and Mini Fair. We're taking our daily mile to a whole new level - all the way to Lapland! We're challenging the kids to run 11 laps dressed as Santa or his helpers. For just £3, your child will get a Santa hat and a prize for completing the laps.
After the run, we'll have a mini fair with mince pies, mulled wine, and treats/stalls for the children so please bring some pennies and pounds!
Even if you can't make it to the fun run or mini fair, all pupils are invited to come to school in sports mufti that day. Just bring in £1 and give it to your class teacher as usual. You can buy tickets for the Santa Fun Run and sign up to help on Classlist. Every bit of support makes a difference! All money raised will go towards the FOSS school funds. Don't forget about the Christmas shop too!
As always, I'm incredibly proud of our Sheet Primary community. Your enthusiasm, support, and involvement make our school a truly special place. Here's to a fantastic festive season ahead bring on the performances, the mince pies and the chocolate I say!!
