Dear Parent/Carer,
We are looking forward to
seeing many of you at the Christmas Craft Fayre on Saturday. It promises to be
a fabulous event and conveniently takes place just before another community
event, which I hope you will be able to support…..
Robin Hood Residents Association
Christmas Carol Concert
This event takes place on
Saturday afternoon, (29th Nov) between 4-6pm at the Community
Orchard on Copley Lane opposite the post office. Santa will be there with
presents for children, the Christmas tree will be lit up, there will be a craft
stall, festive refreshments and Lofthouse Brass Band will be playing Christmas
Carols for us all to sing along.
Assembly
We started our week with a
visit in assembly from Reverend Mandy, who taught the children all about the
patron saints of Great Britain and how they link with the colours in the Union
Jack. This was part of our assembly theme this term about what it means to be
British.
Skipping
Days
On Wednesday and Thursday KS1 and KS2 took part in Robin Hood's
first ever skipping event! Skipping is a difficult skill for children to master
and demands a great amount of co-ordination. Chris and Jodi from “Skipping
School” helped develop children’s skipping skills and also showed
the children some fun games they could use at play time when skipping with
their friends. KS2 were treated to an assembly which showed some of the
fantastic skippers we have in school. The staff also enjoyed an hour CPD
after school developing their knowledge and skills of skipping. Well done to
all of the children and staff for showing determination and enthusiasm in this
event!
Final
sums
Well done everyone- we managed
to raise £387.03 for the Poppy Appeal and £419.80 for Children in Need.
Christmas
Performances
We are looking forward to
welcoming you to our Christmas performances this year. We are now operating a
system of ticket allocations to ensure that everyone, including the children is
safeguarded during these times. With the added issue of restrictions to space
outside of the hall because of the building work, it is essential that we
follow the advice from the Fire Safety team and keep numbers within the safe
guidelines. I am not prepared to compromise the safety of anybody during these
performances so therefore hope that you are supportive of the decision around
this. Each phase is putting on an additional show this year so that all
families can continue to support this magical time of year.
Christmas
non uniform day
We would like to support the
PTA’s idea of a Christmas non uniform day on Wednesday 17th
December. Children are encouraged to come in a Christmas jumper if they have
one, otherwise anything Christmassy that you have at home (e.g. a touch of
tinsel, a Santa hat) to get in the mood for the pending parties! A donation of
£1 will go to the PTA funds. There may even be a special surprise for the
children…
For
reminders of Christmas event dates, please remember you can refer to the school
website “School Calendar” section.
PTA news
Thank you to everyone, parents and
teachers who have come forward offering their help for tomorrow's Fayre.
It starts at 12pm and runs until 3pm. The entrance will be round the left
hand side of the school next to the reception entrance. We have a cafe
full of food, including pies, hotdogs and cakes, in The Friendly Faces building
and some lovely music from our very own Rockin' Robins at 12:30pm. To
keep the children entertained we have two competitions and the Reptile Rangers
visiting, giving you plenty of time to peruse over 30 craft stalls and purchase
all your Christmas Presents. If you haven't yet had the chance to
purchase your raffle tickets or have yet to bring your money into school, this
needs to be done before the draw which will take place on Saturday at
2:45pm. We hope you have a wonderful time tomorrow and look forward to
seeing you all.
Have a great weekend
Mrs Dale
