1. Primary Newsletter – Friday 21st September 2018
NEW RECEPTION WELCOME ASSEMBLY
Parents, carers and families of our new reception children are invited to a special welcome assembly, led by the children’s new Year 5 buddies on Friday 28th September. Please arrive at the main academy reception to be signed in and seated for a prompt 2pm start.
NSPCC
As you are aware from a letter sent home this week, we are having two assemblies run by the NSPCC on Tuesday. If you have any questions about these assemblies, please do not hesitate to ask.
END OF THE DAY
Please can we remind you that at the end of the day please do not use the vehicle entrance to enter or leave the premises on foot. There is a designated pedestrian entrance and exit which is used to ensure that our children and their families are safe.
MACMILLAN COFFEE MORNING
On Friday 28th September (next week!) we are hosting our annual coffee morning to raise money for Macmillan. Parents, carers and families will be invited to our coffee morning between 9am and 9.30am in the primary hall, and we will then invite children and their teachers at different points throughout the morning. For this to be a real success, we rely on the generosity of our parents, carers and community. If you are able to donate cakes for your children to bring in on Friday morning, this would be most appreciated. If any cakes are home made by the children (with a little adult supervision!), please label with your child’s class and house for it to be entered into a ‘House Bake Off’ judged by the school council. Please can you also send your children in with any small change you have to put towards our charity collection on the day. Many thanks for your support.
Calling all year 5 and 6 families... come along to our fantastic open evening on Tuesday 25th September from 4:30pm-7:30pm. There will be a huge range of exciting and interactive activities for your child to get involved in giving them a taste of what the next step of their learning journey will be like.  Ms Baldwin will be giving a talk at 5:30pm and 6:30pm informing all of our visitors of our amazing results this year.

Well done to the ‘Golden Table’

GOSPEL CORNER
In this week’s Gospel, Jesus tells His Apostles about His forthcoming Passion and Resurrection. Unfortunately, the men do not understand Him. Instead, they argue and focus on who among them is the greatest. Seeing their pride, Christ teaches them about humility and servitude by saying that those who want to be first, must be last, and the servant of all. We must remember that those who are called “great” have an obligation to help, lead, and serve others.
