14.10.22 Weekly Newsletter
Hello everyone,
We had a short rehearsal in church this morning for our Harvest services next week. It was so lovely to be in church again as a whole school and we look forward to familes and friends joining us next Friday morning.
Brookes and Darwin: 9:15 – 9:45
Owen and Jebb: 10:15 – 10:45
If your child is new to the school, and they have not been told which house they are in, please contact either your child’s teacher or the school office next week. All children should wear school uniform please; Birch and Oak will need to bring their PE kit to change into for their Friday afternoon PE session.

If you are able to donate any produce, packets or tins of foods, toiletries, etc. we would be very grateful and all donations will be taken to the Shrewsbury Food Bank. Children will be taking their donations to the service so these can be brought into school next Friday morning or they can be left on the table at the main office any day next week. Please click here for items that are in demand and here for items that the Food Bank regularly need.
Thank you in advance for your support.

Christmas Shoebox Appeal – Teams4u
We are pleased to be taking part in the Christmas Shoebox Appeal run by the charity Teams4u. Your youngest child in school brought a leaflet home a couple of weeks ago. The project is being lead in school by Cerys in Year 5, as part of her Brownie charity badge, and she has asked for any shoe boxes brought in to be left at the school office – thank you for the ones brought in already.
