Appleton Echo

It was an absolute pleasure to visit our Christmas Enterprise event on Thursday evening, and to see so many happy families enjoying the festive spirit as well as our wonderful choir. A big shout out to everyone involved. I can't believe how many of our children consider this event, their best of the season. I think we've a large group of budding entrepreneurs in the making!

Next week will hopefully be a more settled one. That being said, it's the Elf Run on Monday and Christmas Dinner on Wednesday. It's also the week where everyone dresses up in a little bit of Christmas spirit too! On top of that, our website has had quite a few extra visitors (possibly Ofsted, shh!) so we may have some unfamiliar faces around on Tuesday and Wednesday to sample the Christmas Dinner!

Have a lovely weekend.

Dear Laura Herbert,

Thank you

Each week we will have a question which is designed to develop thinking and reasoning skills and to enhance self esteem with an emphasis on collaborative inquiry.

This week your children have been discussing the philosophy question below. What do you think?

The PTA would like to thank all the Teachers, support staff and children for their hard work on their Enterprise items. What a night! It was amazing.

Also we would like to thank our wonderful volunteers that helped with the set up, cleaning up and looking after our stall.

On Monday we will find out who won!

"On behalf of everyone at All Saints', Appleton Roebuck and St.John's, Acaster Malbis

We thank all the children, teachers and staff at AR School for the beautiful Nativity

performances held in our community church.

We offer our heartfelt thanks for the donations given by family members and villagers

towards church upkeep - more than £120 has been given.

Christmas Blessings

from Jenny (Skinner) and our church congregation."

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.
