Announcements

Another busy week here at St. James’ where children have continued to be keen to learn and have continued to produce some wonderful work. Next week will be our final Assessment Week of the year where we’re looking forward to seeing how all the children’s new knowledge and skills are put into practice; we’re sure they’ll all do really well.

Year 2 have continued with their Ukulele lessons; Year 6 with swimming; some Year 6 children attended a Rounders competition; Nursery Rome had a super seaside trip to Joss Bay on Wednesday and all children from Reception – Year 5 had History workshops delivered by a visiting specialist this week.

Our Collective Worship theme for this week has been based around Jesus’s ‘I AM’ statements. Next week we’ll focus on Love for one another.

Following our own clothes to school event for Red Nose Day last week, we are proud to announce that the children raised £351.59. Money donated to Red Nose Day this year will support people in the UK and around the world to live free from poverty, violence and discrimination, and support people with their mental health.
A big "thank you" and well done to all the children and staff at St. James'

Following our fundraising at St James', we have received a thank you letter and certificate from The Royal Marsden.

Our friends at ParentGym have sent us news of an online session on Tuesday 25th January from 5 - 6pm, free to all our parents and run by Digital Awareness UK.  

Topics covered will include major trends in how young people are using apps and games, critical digital issues and practical steps you can take to protect your children from online risk and to encourage happy and healthy tech habits. There will also be plenty of time to ask questions about any concerns you may have in the home around online safety. The full flyer of details is attached below.
