Dear Parents/Carers,
Your children may come home talking about Christmas! Sorry…
It is because they have (or will have) designed an amazing Christmas card that you will get the opportunity to buy!
We are using a brilliant company to have the children’s artwork professionally made into cards, gift cards and gift wrap - there are examples at reception if you wish to see. You will get to see the children’s design before half term as it will be sent home with a special internet code on the back – this is the way to order your cards and pay for them! Orders need to be made during half term so please remember to order. Perhaps put a reminder in your phone for INSET day on Friday 20 October.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way!
This is a great fundraising opportunity as FROGGS will receive money for every order placed!
Many Thanks,
FROGGS

NEWS FROM THE NURSERY

Isobel has now received the bespoke sledge she won in the summer raffle, although we don't want it to snow just yet!
Phase 1 of our garden project will be completed over the half term holiday, with many thanks to Buckingham landscapes who are carrying out the work.
Over the next couple of weeks we will be focusing on our language and communication skills. We will be sending home a list of books that can be read at home to support this and we will be interested to hear about your recommendations for books we can read in the setting.

HARVEST FESTIVAL ASSEMBLY
Everyone is invited to come along to our harvest assembly on Tuesday 10th October at 9am. We will be singing harvest songs, and thinking about why harvest festivals are relevant today. Could we please ask children to bring in a donation for our food bank collection, on that day; contributions should be tinned or dried packet food please…the basics are best (baked beans, tomatoes, pasta etc) but anything will be appreciated.

READING HOMEWORK
The winners of last week’s reading raffle were - Henry and Violet; well done to them. And this week the winners are – Gabrielle and Marcus
All these children have won book tokens for the University Bookshop.
The only homework children have at the moment is to read 5 times per week at home and although we had lots of children in the raffle this week, in some classes we have fewer than half the children completing their homework at the moment… let’s see if we can boost that next week.
Reading is the single most powerful way to boost your child’s progress, which is why we put so much emphasis on this…thank you.

YEAR 6 COOKERY
Children in year 6 are really enjoying their DT cookery lessons with Mrs Murray. As they are studying Mexico this term, their cookery lessons are linked to Mexican foods; this week it was cornbread…and the smells coming from the kitchen were delicious!

Our Pact: The Essential App For Parents
OurPact is a simple family locator and parental control app that allows parents to locate family members and limit screen time by blocking internet and app access.
Parents seeking to establish a consistent routine at home may be able to use smartphones and tablets to their advantage. With OurPact, you have the power to schedule screen time throughout the day, according to the routines you set.
The best part about the OurPact parental control solution is the “set it and forget it” nature. Rest assured, if a scheduled block is in place for 7:00am-7:30am every morning to make time for breakfast, the block will be in place every day until changed by the parent.
Create new screen time schedules and establish a healthy family routine using OurPact.
In a sense, you’re using your child’s fondness for technology to help them learn responsible device use. It works like this: parents schedule screen time to be blocked during mealtimes, shower times, family time, bed time, and so forth every day. With OurPact’s internet and app blocker, parents have found their kids are less likely to become distracted and eventually graduate into the new family routine.
