achieve!

Ordinary people doing extraordinary things

The focus of our liturgies this week has been to reflect on the words of Luke 4:21-30. The children have shared what extraordinary things they hope to achieve in their lifetimes and how unique and special they are.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you once again for your support this week. It’s been action packed with various events including our Internet Safety Day taking place. Well done to all our children on a great week of learning at St Cuthbert Mayne.

Please remember to join us next Tuesday for Open Classrooms (3.15pm-3.45pm) and also Parent Forum. Please note this meeting will take place in school in the ‘Oak Tree’ Room and parents will need to sign in at the school office.

Wishing you all a great weekend.

Natalie McCarthy (Headteacher)

Internet safety Day

Tuesday was Safer Internet Day. We began the day with a whole school assembly, reminding children of the importance of keeping their personal information safe. In every class, children will learn about internet safety in a way that is appropriate to their year group.

If you would like any additional information, you might find this website helpful:https://www.saferinternet.org.uk/safer-internet-day/safer-internet-day-2019/education-packs/activities-parents-and-carers

This is a very important topic to continue discussing with children. The internet is always changing and it is vital that we all keep up to date with the latest technology and the latest ways to keep ourselves and our families safe online.

Thank you to Mrs Bacon for leading this day. Mrs Bacon is currently in the process of compiling some further information for parents in response to some of the comments children made on the day.

Home learning in Year three

Well done to everyone who has brought in

this half term’s Home Learning Project.

Thank you to Year Three St George’s Class

for inviting me to share your Roman

learning. Thank you to parents and carers

for supporting the children with these

projects and sharing in their learning.

Special Meals in Year One

To launch their new RE topic, Year One St

Andrew’s Class held a ‘special meal’. A great

opportunity to socialise and have a class picnic

which was much enjoyed by all.

Thank you to Mrs Brading for organising this.

Dodgeball

Thank you to our Year Three Dodgeball team who took part in a tournament at

Glebelands School last week. Although they did not win, they played brilliantly. Well

done everyone!

Brilliant gymnastics

Well done to all of our fabulous gymnasts. It was

especially great to watch Year 4 St Bernadette’s

Class during their P.E. lesson this week. They

worked with skill and listened carefully to

instructions.

School Council update and the Rising Oak Club

Thank you to all of the children who put forward names for our new Wrap Around

Care. In their School Council meeting this week, the Class Reps considered all of the

suggestions and then through a very robust decision making process came to the

name ‘Rising Oak Club’. The former Music

Room will now be rebranded as the ‘Oak

Tree’ room in celebration of the beautiful

Oak Tree which grows on the playground

next to it.

Thank you to our School Council who

represent their classes so well.

Wrap Around Care starting Monday 25th February 2019

Please ensure that you register your child as soon as possible using the forms which

were sent home last week. All children who have been registered so far have been

guaranteed a place and will be contacted before the half term break with further

details. Please remember to complete a booking form to register your child/children

for the club before the online payment system can be set up.

If you are considering using the club on an ad-hoc basis, then please can I ask that you

complete and return the forms to the school office.

Come and See end of topic celebration

Well done to all of the children who took part in

the end of topic celebration on Tuesday. Thank you

for sharing your ideas and your learning with us.

Thank you to Fr. David for joining us and to Mrs

Moore, our RE Leader, for leading the liturgy.
