Overton St Helen’s Primary School family news 8.11.24: Issue 8
WEEKLY ROUND UP
When I made the comment in worship this morning, that this week seems to have gone very fast, the reasons the children gave me were because we have been ‘busy and having fun’. I’m pleased that has been the case this week and it definitely appeared so as Key Stage 2 shared examples of their hard work from their History and English lessons. It’s great to see the fabulous learning that takes place in school. This week, our breakfast club ‘customers’ enjoyed the first week of their themed breakfasts, with some of the biggest fruit kebabs I have ever seen on Tutti-Frutti Tuesday! Remember you can book on to our breakfast club any day of the week via the ParentPay app, by 4pm the day before.
We start the week next Monday with a special Remembrance Worship in school—poppies are still on offer for a small amount in the entrance porch if you wish to purchase one.
MHST WORKSHOP
Next Thursday at 1.30pm - 2.30pm, our mental health practi-tioners will be running a workshop on Sensory Processing and Emotional Regulation. If your child struggles with this, then this is definitely a must for you. You will gain a valuable in-sight into how you can support your child and talk about any issues you are facing at home, so please do come and join us.
CHILDREN IN NEED
Next Friday (15th Nov), it’s Children in Need and our School Council have come up with a plan to raise money for this truly amazing cause. So, on Friday all pupils are welcome to come in to school in non-uniform with a spotty theme, for a minimum donation of £1. Of course, if you wish to donate more, then thank you very much in ad-vance. Come in sensible footwear too, as we will be com-pleting a ‘mile’ challenge around our track.
At the beginning of the week on Monday, pupils can also enter a Pudsey colouring competition for 50p. Pupils need to bring in their money in order to collect a colouring sheet from Mr Saban, to then take home and complete before Friday when a winner will be announced. Prizes are on offer! Thanks Mr Saban and school council for organising our annual fundraiser for Children in Need.
ASDA CASHPOT
Our total now stands at £397 with 22 more days left to collect more for OSFA. Keep going everyone - what a great total so far!
