Well, this week, we have had lots to celebrate... our half term Achievers, our AWARE SPARKS recipients and, if you keep scrolling, Mrs Cadman has shared details and photographs of all of our Rotary Competition Winners. Well done to everyone for such an amazing effort this term at working hard, being eco-friendly, and for showing off your artistic talents. 

After half term, the opportunities to take part in clubs and competitions will continue- so keep referring to our newsletters, our calendar and your sch.life messages to stay up to date!

Well done to all the children who achieved their AWARE badge today!

Children had 6 weeks to complete all the tasks - some of which were done in school and some of which needed to be completed at home. We received lots of lovely photos from parents showing the ways in which these tasks had been completed, as evidence to gain their badge.  Thank you to the parents for your support with this.

Next term, our SPARK is RESPECTFUL!

This week I have awarded certificates to all pupils who took part in the Rotary Competitions before Christmas.

The competitions included; Young Writer, Young Artist and Young Photographer.

The Rotary club were so impressed with our writing, they awarded a child from each year group as Highly Commended.  These children also received a prize. 

We did also have some overall winners for each of the categories - who also received a prize.

Well done to:  Isacc in Year 6 (Young Artist winner); Jake in Year 6 (Young Writer winner; Mia in Year 2 (Young Photographer winner)

Thank you to all the parents who have supported with this competition.

********************

Take a look below for details of the next Let's Get Writing Challenge!  I look forward to receiving some fabulous writing.  Each child who shares their writing with me, will get a special ticket in a raffle - which I will draw at the end of the Spring term.

The first part of the spring term is complete and the Rhinos are still in the lead! Tigers are second, but the Polar Bears are close behind.

If you want your team to win the prize at the end of the term, get earning those house points!!

Foster Carers Wanted

Dudley Council are looking to recruit foster carers across the Dudley Borough. Foster care plays a vital part in so many children’s and young people’s lives. In Dudley, the need for foster carers is greater than ever. Please see the attached leaflet regarding taking the first steps into becoming a foster carer.

Finally...

We have ended the term with some celebrations and I'm sure many of you are celebrating the fact that it is half term next week! 

Enjoy!

Look forward to welcoming you back on Monday 23rd February xxx
