Blue 1 – Miley – For deepening the moment within an Alice and wonderland rewrite through her vocabulary choices, range of ideas and exceptional simile choice!

Week Ending 14th December 2018
Well, if you were not feeling Christmassy at the start of the week, then you certainly will be now (especially if you have a child in EYFS or KS1). This week has been the week of the Christmas performances for our youngest children and what performances they were. The real story of Christmas Eve was told through a series of readings and songs and what a fabulous job the children did. Our four and five year old shiny gold stars stole the show…along with the shepherds, carol singers, sheep, narrators, Mary and Joseph and more... A super show and a great thanks to the EYFS and KS1 team, especially Miss Atamaniuk who put the whole thing together.
This week, I wrote out to the parents of Blue 2 class to inform them that after 15 years of working at Greasley Beauvale primary School, Mrs Carlton has decided to spread her wings and take further employment at a school within Nottingham City. We will all be very sad to see Mrs Carlton leave the school after such a long time. She has touched the hearts of many children over the years, and I am certain that many will have special memories of her and her time at Greasley Beauvale Primary School. I am sure that you will join me in wishing Mrs Carlton a fond farewell and good luck for the future.
Another week of festive cheer! All week I have been hearing KS2 practise their Christmas concert and how wonderful they sound. I cannot wait to watch and welcome you in to enjoy the festivities also.
Last week was the Christmas fair, and I am told that £1500 was raised. Thank you so much to everybody who helped (especially Greasley Hub), donated and attended. Such a huge success and all the money that goes into school fund supports our children during their time at Greasley.
One more week to go until the Christmas holidays. A busy week but one full of festivities. A reminder that it is Christmas/party themed clothing on Friday for a £1 donation.
Have a wonderful weekend and good luck with all the Christmassy preparations.
Warm regards,
Michelle Bates
