The Appleton Echo

Another wonderful week comes to a close and our children continue to shine in their learning. It was a proud moment to receive a call from the director at Murton Park to congratulate me on such a wonderful group of Year 3/4 children. Well done to Mr Crump and the team, and thank you to Mrs Kirkpatrick for organising it all before she left.

Next week, we've got the Panto, Bags to School and PJ Story Night to mention just a few. I'm also looking forward to meeting the choir at Bolton Percy Christmas Fair tomorrow.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

This week in school, we launched a very exciting Enterprise Challenge to the children. Each class is going to set up their own business! They need to come up with ideas of items they can sell at the Christmas Fair, make them to a budget, decide how they'll promote them and then sell them at the school Christmas Fair on Thursday 7th December.

The class that makes the most money will win a Christmas movie afternoon. More details about the fair below.

We have some lovely experiences and events planned for our children and families in the run up to Christmas. Many of them support by our wonderful PTA. Here's a summary of everything that's going on:

We start the new academic year expecting an Ofsted Inspection at some point in the year. We are certainly well overdue!

You can really help us by completing the Ofsted Parent View online survey. It's a short series of questions that should take you no longer than 10 minutes. Of course, when we do get the call, you'll get another opportunity to share your views.

A polite reminder that we have children in school who have severe nut allergies. Please ensure that you do not bring nuts on to the school site or include them in packed lunches.

Thank you for your support with this.

I've had a few messages from parents/carers asking about how they can send a staff shoutout for a staff team. It's great that you think about them and really does help to raise morale.
