Message From Mrs Dance
Dear parents and carers,
I hope that you have all had a great week. Unbelievably, we are nearing the end of the first half term and what a great start to this academic year it has been. A gentle reminder that next week the children’s last day will be Thursday as we have the second of our five INSET days on Friday 24th October.
This week, Year 4 have had the amazing experience of visiting the 878AD museum in Winchester. This enrichment opportunity has enhanced the children’s knowledge and understanding for their current and ongoing
historical enquiry. The children had an amazing time and exemplified our MIRROR values brilliantly. To find out more about the trip click on this link: Home | 878 AD - Step into Anglo-Saxon Winchester
On Monday, I received an email from Andover Trees United:
“On behalf of everybody at Andover Trees United, I am writing to let you know how impressed we were with George, one of your pupils who brought his dad along to help plant wildflowers in the wood on Saturday. As a community, we have been growing this year's wildflowers at our Vigo Road allotment since April and were delighted to involve pupils from your school in this process. George is one of the pupils who came to the allotment with his class last term.” Well done George and his dad!
As part of our support for Andover Trees United, we are going to be returning to Bury Hill woods in November to continue the project of planting trees in our community.
Thank you to our brilliant Friends of Vigo team (FoVP). This morning I arrived at school to find a cheque for £1,500.00. This is as a result of all of the fundraising by the team last year. It is a FANTASTIC amount and will be used to purchase equipment to enhance our children’s lunchtime play experience. Mr Dockree was delighted to hear that he had this amount to spend and will be liaising with the Junior Governors to spend it! Thank you to you all for your support of the FoVP- your generosity supports the enrichment and learning opportunities for all of the children.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Yours faithfully
Mrs Dance
