Appleton Echo

The first snowfall of this academic year was met with many excited children, eager to go out and explore, and it wouldn't be right if Early Years weren't the first to build a snowman! The cold and snow also caught up with Y3/4 on their trip to Scarborough. They had an amazing time on the coast, despite having to wrap up warm. Thank you to everyone who came along to support the trip.

Next week is another busy one as the excitement for the festive period builds. We've also got individual photographs on Friday so I'm sure the children will have no issue bringing their wonderful smiles!

Have a super weekend everyone.

I am really excited to say our school community has won an award!

Thanks to you, we were one of the top 10 schools in the country for parental engagement with a parent survey last year!

A huge thank you to parents for all your engagement and support with school!

Friday - Individually/Sibling Photos and Reading challenge competition.

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 say a massive thank you to everyone that helped and donated towards the Halloween trail, we raised a total profit of £546 this was split between us and Preschool, our share was £273. The Halloween disco made £201. Great success and thank you again.

We are now planning for Christmas, more information to follow next week.

We will be having our Christmas raffle again this year and we are looking for donations to make up Christmas hampers, such as bottles, sweets, chocolate, biscuits. Any donations would be greatly appreciated. We will leave a box in the entrance.

Could we ask for your help encouraging children to push their bikes and scooters across the playground at drop off and pick up times. Many thanks!

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.
