Shine as Lights in the World- Philippians 2.15

 

Friday March 24th 2023

Dear Parents and Carers,

Big Science
Today each class chose one Big Science investigation to share with the school. These children presented their investigation to the whole school and our special judges. (Mrs Hobbs, Mrs Pratt and Dr Bowness). Some of the questions being asked were; Which material makes the best zip wire?, Which part of the school is the dirtiest? and finally, Can AI trick humans? We will find out next week who the overall winners are. Thank you to Miss Jenkins for organising Big Science this term.

Disco
Thank you to the PTA for organising the disco this evening. Please remember that children are not to bring mobile phones to the disco. As this is a school event, our rules regarding photographs will apply. We will not be taking photos as we do not have permission from parents.

Cross Country Finals
Heidi, Pippa, Charlotte, Victoria, and Jasmine competed in the U11 girls Oxfordshire Cross County Finals after winning the West Oxfordshire Final. They did us very proud and ran their hearts out. Special mention goes to Pippa who finished 3rd and Charlotte who finished 6th overall. Well done!
We have just had confirmation that the girls’ team have won the U11 Oxfordshire County Finals! WOW! What a result!

After-School Clubs
A reminder that there are no after school clubs next week. The exception to this is the Choir on Monday which will happen as usual. Parents are invited to come and listen to the things they’ve been learning at 3.45. Choir will finish at the usual time of 4.15 if you are unable to attend.

Easter Service
Next Friday at 9:20 the children in Years 3-6 will be attending Shipton church for our Easter Service. Parents are welcome to attend.

We will be bringing you some other recommendations over the coming weeks - this week we concentrate on being safe online. Follow the link to learn more:

Clothing/uniform must be clean and in excellent condition. Ages 4-12 only. Shoes not accepted.

Drop off your clothing donations on the following days.

Pop up shop open!
Friday 31st March at 1:30pm in the School Hall. Please come and browse. School uniform on sale too. All clothes must go - please bring a bag with you. We're just asking for a small donation for anything you take. We'll also have lots of yummy doughnuts on sale too.

Volunteers desperately needed!
We're also looking for volunteers to help sort the clothing at school at 9:30am - 11am Friday 31st March. If you can help to spare an hour or so, to help the Eco-Council work towards their Eco Award this year email wychwoodprimarypta@gmail.com
