Children’s Mental Health Week

Next week, it is Children’s Mental Health Week.  We would like to show our support for this by joining in with their ‘Dress to Express’ day next Friday 10th February.  The children can come to school in their own clothes to express their personality.

If your child/children has PE on this day then they can either bring their PE kit to get changed, bring some trainers or do PE in their own clothes if they are already suitable (i.e. trainers and tracksuit bottoms).

The week is run by a charity called Place 2 Be.  We are joining in with the activities and Dress to Express day to raise awareness of children’s mental health, however, if you would like to make a donation to the Place 2 Be Charity you can do so through their website directly.

This Thursday

On Thursday, our local PCSOs will be delivering a session to our Year 5/6 classes which will include safety in the community, internet safety, drug and medicine safety (including county lines) and knife safety (including knife crime).
This is also an opportunity to meet the PCSOs and build links that will form part of the transition across to secondary schools.
This session has been delivered to other local primary schools with great success and we’re sure it will be the same at Pontesbury.
Many thanks for your support,
Mr L-H

Newspaper and bottle request.

The children today started to plan for the making of their volcanoes. When we do come to making them we will need paper for papier mache and plastic drinks bottles. If any of these could be sent in I would be very grateful. The paper can be old newspapers and the bottles either 500ml/750ml or 1 litre ones.

The children will be using acrylic paint – this does NOT come off clothes easily so they will need to bring in an old shirt (possibly that belonged to a parent) to go over their school clothes. It would need to be a shirt you don’t mind getting paint on!!

If you have any questions then please get in touch.

Spellings for next week

The children have been given their copy of spellings for at home. I am aware these do not always make it home so here they are: Spellings for testing next week.

Thank you very much to those children who have already brought newspapers in for our art next week any extra newspapers will be much appreciated.

Well done to Jake and Jacob on their Golden Achiever awards today and to Mischa, Molly and Jacob  for getting pupil of the week.

A reminder that PE is on a Monday and Tuesday so the children should come into school wearing their PE kits those days.

Have a super weekend.

Mr Morris.

Newspaper plea

The children in Year 5 are going to be making their own volcanoes this term in their art lessons. This ties in with their geography lessons of the power of the planet. We are going to need lots of newspapers to make papier mache to complete this and would be very grateful if any people could send in newspapers to the school. Once they are finished we are going to get them to erupt!!!.

Many thanks.

Mr Morris

Merry Christmas

Dear All,

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Thank you very much for presents and cards that have been sent in for me, Mrs Howland and Miss Lewis. I would like to personally thank those two other adults for all of their help and support to me and to the children throughout the term.

Thank you very much to all of the parents for their support this term as this has made a big difference for the children.

They have had an excellent first term in Year 5. It has been fantastic to see many of them grow in confidence. There have been many examples of excellent work produced in all subjects. It is also pleasing to see the growing maturity of the children.

A special mention to Niamh and to Hugh.

Niamh was the Platinum Achiever for the term for her excellent attitude and behaviour. This was chosen by the staff in Year 5. Hugh was chosen as pupil of the term by the other children. This was for improvements in all aspects of school. Well done to both.

The work for next term will be posted later in the holidays. This enables you the chance to see what we will be covering.

I hope the children have enjoyed their final week before Christmas even though I am sure some were worried they might not have a ‘Christmasy’ feeling in Year 5.

Merry Christmas

The Grinch
