Playing on ice
I am sure that you will have all seen the tragic news regarding the deaths of four young children from falling into freezing water after falling through ice. Please can you use this as an opportunity to talk to your own children about the dangers of playing on ice and also what to do if they see someone else who has fallen through ice. The link below from the Royal Life Saving Society could be helpful for you. This is particularly relevant at this time as we have been under freezing conditions for such an extended period of time.

Shows
This has been a very theatrical week with our children putting on their Christmas performances and Year 2 and Year 6 even finding the time to go out and see professional theatre productions too. Year 2 went to the Polka Theatre to see the festive comedy, Crackers and Year 6 visited The Rose Theatre to see A Christmas Carol. Thank you to all the staff and children for all the additional effort in putting the shows together and taking the children out of school for the opportunity to see a live performance.
