Dear Parents
Poetry Competition
Congratulations to Maggie in Year 4 who came runner up in a prestigious national poetry competition with her beautiful poem below.
Amanda Lowther, Deputy Lieutenant, writes to Mrs Coleman our Oracy Leader:
I was absolutely delighted to learn that Maggie’s poem from your school has been chosen as a runner up in this year’s Poetry competition. That is an enormous achievement for Maggie and a real feather in the school’s cap. I greatly enjoyed coming to meet you all at St Christopher’s Care Home and was very impressed by the standard of the poems the children recited. I was also very struck by how all your children seemed to enjoy meeting some of the residents of the care home. Both old and young appeared to enjoy the afternoon.
My friends that have blossomed
My friendship with my friends has grown like blossom on the trees
Friendship starts as little buds, small yet strong and full of warmth
The bud needs sun and water just like friends need love and care
As you share trust and love the bud bursts into a flower
Be gentle those delicate petals can tear like paper
Treat them kindly and they will stay together
Friendship grows and the blossom petals show lots of colours
In just a season and before you know it you will have a lifelong friend
Forever!
By Maggie in Y4
Chewing Gum
Could you make sure that the children aren’t bringing chewing gum into school please. A child has ruined his t-shirt by getting gum stuck to it at playtime. Thank you
Rail Safety
The children have watched assemblies about the dangers of going near railways this week. Could we ask you reinforce the messages at home.
Year 3 & 4 Gymnasts
Well done to our Year 3 and Year 4 gymnasts who won the Pacesetter’s interschool competition this morning. Sofia, Orla, Alfie and Isla performed skilfully and particularly enjoyed and excelled in the vault, beam and floorwork.
Car Accident
There was an accident between two cars this morning in the drop off zone. Fortunately, no one was hurt. This would not have happened if people had adhered to the rules and observed the signage. Please park safely and respectfully on the local roads, including Abington Park Crescent which incorporates a short healthy walk into school.
Year 1 Trip to Abington Park Museum
Year 1 were welcomed to the Abington Park Museum for a ‘Victorian Treasure Trail’ and learnt about local history and played with some toys from the past.
Have a lovely weekend
