Welcome to this term’s Castle newsletter. We hope you enjoy all the articles about each class and all the exciting things that we have achieved over the past 7 weeks. It seems only a few days ago that we were returning from our winter break. The scaffolding has become part of our landscape. but the project is on schedule and despite all the extreme weather events of the past 2 months, we are still more watertight than we have been in quite a while. Thank you for your patience and support as we navigate a smaller playground. We can’t wait to share with you our newly refreshed inside spaces, post leaks, as the next term unfolds.
As a school community, we strive to instill in our children our school values. One of which is the sense of Courageous Advocacy that goes beyond just participating in charity events. We could not be prouder of Logan and Reuben from Dunster Class in their efforts to raise awareness and donations for Autism Awareness Week. The first ‘Great Castle Lego Build Off’ has been a resounding success. The children have shared their creativity and design skills with us and all the entrants should be very proud of their submissions. Judging was tricky and we hope that the winners enjoy their prizes. I can’t wait to see what our next event will be.
Thank you to all the Mystery Readers who were able to join us last week. The children absolutely loved trying to guess who was going to walk through their classroom door at the end of the day to share a story with them. Rapturous applause and gasps of excitement ensued as they realised who their readers were. We would love to hold the event more frequently. So, if you are keen, willing, and able to join us to read a story to a class for 10 minutes, let us know.
Thank you all for your support over the past term. Please have a restful break and we look forward to welcoming you all back on Tuesday 25th February.
