Although its not quite Christmas time, i wanted to share with you the plan for Christmas at Kamyk so that everyone is aware and you can add dates to your calendar. We always have a big focus on community and raising money for charity and this year is not different.

House Film Nights

Each house will have the opportunity to come together to watch a Christmas film in the last few weeks of school. There will be assign up for those interested in joining the event nearer the time. The events will last from 3 – 5 and the children will have a snack as well as watching a classic Christmas film with the house. There will be a cost to this event and any profit will go to our school charities.

Year Group Community Make and Sing

Each year group will be hosting a make a sing session. During this time parents are invited to come to school and will watch the year group performing a small number of Christmas song and then there will be chance to make something together in the classroom. I hope parents will be able to support this community event.

Santa’s Grotto

Children from Early Years – Year 4 will have the chance to see Santa in our specially made grotto, All the children in these year groups will attend unless the parents opt out. A form to complete will be sent nearer the time. This year we decided with the PBIS Friends that the children in years 5 and 6 will not attend.

Woolly Wednesdays

For the two Wednesdays in December the children will be able to come to school in their favourite Christmas jumpers.

Kamyk Charity Bake Sale

The PBIS Friends will be arranging a cake sake to raise money for our school charities. Parents will be asked to bake small cakes/muffins and the children will have the chance to buty a cake or two during the day.

Art for sale after school (and hot chocolate) arranged by PBIS Friends

I would like to inform you we will have a charity art bazaar again this year.

More information about all of these events will be sent nearer the time but hopefully this helps you see what we have planned for Christmas this year.

Year 1, 2 5 and 6 have now held their learning showcase events and it was wonderful to see such a good turnout for all age groups. The children love taking time to show you their work and it is is so important for them to know that you value their efforts and can celebrate successes with them. We will hold these events termly.

One of our former primary students and now year 13 students Alon will be putting on a magic show after school on Monday 18th November from 4.15 in the Music Auditorium. This is being organised by the PBIS Friends Association. There is no need to register please just turn up in the music auditorium with your child on Monday 18th at 4:15 ready to be entertained.

Alon will collect donations after the event and these will be used to support our school charities.

Winter is approaching quickly and there is an urgent need for winter clothing. Your support can save lives and make the season more bearable for those who are less fortunate.

Please remember that our Friends need practical and warm clothing, as many of them live on the streets

Thank you to Mr. Baines for leading the Primary Assessment workshop this week.

Next week there will be a chance to hear from Ms Isla about our wonderful Forest School initiative.

The session will take place in the the Reception classroom D101 at 8.30 am.

At the end of the session there will be an optional tour of our forest school area so please bring a warm jacket.
