GO SPOTTY FOR PUDSEY

£1 donation per child to take part, payable to class teacher on the day.
Year 5 and 6 Pond Studies
It was the turn of Y5 & 6 to have a half day each with Mrs Lavelle yesterday. A report from India Finch and Mia Johns ‘ “First we went out and we had to choose tubs of water and then Mrs Lavelle gave us a piece of paper with all the insects we should find in the pond. She took a group at a time to go pond dipping and then we emptied out what we had in the nets into our tubs and tried to identify them. We had to make a tally of all the insects we collected the ones we found most of were ‘Water Louse’ and ‘Pond Snails’. Then Mrs Lavelle showed us some insects on her hand and told us about them.”
KS1 Nativity
The afternoon performance will be at 1.30 and the evening performances at 6.30. Please note the evening performances are for adults and older siblings. Pre-school children are welcome to the afternoon performance but we ask that you please take them outside if they become fractious to be fair to our performers!
Christmas Dinner
KS1 Christmas Dinner is on Tues 6 Dec, Year 3 & 4 on Thursday 8th, Year 5 & 6 on Friday 9th.
Football Match
Well done to our football team on a fantastic match on Tuesday evening against Old Heath. We won 7-0. Many thanks to Mr Farah (Youhanna’s dad) for refereeing the game for us.
A report from Jamie, Ewan and Martin
“It started with Danny scoring the first goal, followed by Jacob and then a hat trick from Youhanna, then Dominic scored and a final header from Ewan sealed our victory. In the last minute Old Heath got a corner and had a chance at goal but Jamie punched it out.”
