• Starting Lent

  Wed 26 Feb 2020

  We have had a very special start to Lent here at school, with pancake celebrations yesterday and an Ash Wednesday service this morning.

   

  Mrs Turner led a collective worship yesterday reflecting on the origins of Shrove Tuesday and linking the ingredients needed for the perfect pancake to the ingredients needed for a perfect life. In the afternoon classes 1 and 4 continued their celebrations tying out different toppings for pancakes and enjoying the treats they had created.

   

  This morning Mrs Brown led worship accompanied by Rev. Rachel who came in to ash us. The children reflected on the creation of God's wonderful world and about the sin of human-beings who are causing pollution and destruction. They have been set 24 small challenges to complete during Lent to make a positive contribution to the world. We do hope you will support them in this mission.

  

• Anti-Social Parking

  Fri 14 Feb 2020

  It is with deep regret that I have to raise this topic once more. As previously outlined earlier in the half term, the safety and well-being of our children, families, staff and local residents is at the heart of actions and decisions undertaken here, and is captured in our school values of love, thoughtfulness, respect, fairness and take care. It is upsetting when other stakeholders do not abide by these values.

   

  Over the course of the year I have received numerous complaints about the parking around school, from parents and local residents. One of these incidents meant that an ambulance could not pass and attend a patient in Belvoir Crescent, and several of these incidents have put children's lives at risk.

   

  Today I have received a photograph of a car blocking the driveway of one of our neighbours and a friend of the school.

   

  I appeal to your sound judgement and high moral standing - please, utilise the car parks that we have in Langar; at The Unicorn's Head and outside of church, abide by the Highway Code (parking away from junctions and not on zigzag lines) and do not put the lives of others at risk for the sake of getting into school at 8.40am.

  

• World Book Day

  Fri 14 Feb 2020

  We are going to be marking and celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 5th March with lots of activities and experiences. The theme of the day is 'share a story' and children will be invited to wear pyjamas to school and bringing a favourite book to share.

   

  Over the half term holiday we want to encourage children to share a story with their family and friends. Please capture these moments in a photo and send it in to school by Friday 28th February. A prize will given to each year group for the most original location shown in the photo!

   

  We look forward to hearing about your reading adventures.
