Message From Mrs Dance
Dear parents and carers,
What a cold week it has been, winter is definitely upon us!
This week, my assemblies have been themed around Anti-Bullying. Whilst anti-bullying week was the week of the 10th November, our school philosophy is that anti-bullying should be all year round. The theme for this year’s week was ‘The Power for Good’. I shared the different types of power that we can use and focused on the power of kindness and standing up for each other.

Last Friday, Year 2, along with Mr Hodgson went to Bury Hill to plant trees. It was a fabulous afternoon that the children thoroughly enjoyed; they arrived back at school beaming! The organisers of the event (Andover Trees United) complimented the children on their exemplary behaviour and politeness. Well done Year 2 and thank you!
A big thank you to Katie in Australia Class and her Mum, who have donated 10-20 netballs to the school. This will support our PE curriculum and enhance the resources that the children have access to.
Following this week’s parents' consultations, I would like to thank all of you who attended. Following a change in the format, all meetings were held in classrooms, which gave parents time to look at their child’s books and meet with their child’s class teacher in a quiet and supportive environment. Following analysis of the surveys handed back to us, this was a unanimous success! Thank you for the positive comments as well, they are very much appreciated! This will be the format moving forward.
Finally, I look forward to seeing all of you who have generously given up your time tomorrow morning to support our Helping Hands EYFS development project. I will ensure there are lots of hot drinks and biscuits!
Wishing you all a great weekend
Mrs Dance
