NEWS FROM MISS JOHNSTON

Thank you to everyone who came to our community breakfast last Friday. Over 60 people attended and a good time was had by all! We also had a team participate in the Farmhouse Breakfast football match on Saturday and although they didn’t win, they did play extremely well and were praised for their sportsmanship. I had a super (if a little chilly!) time at Churchill Chine last Friday morning with 4 Year 6 children. We were filmed for BBC Countryfile, which is to be broadcast on the 12^th February. If you can’t wait until then, please check the gallery page on our school website. This week, Seahorse Class wrapped up warm to head out on a local walk and our learning detectives have been hard at work visiting several classrooms. Today sees Mr McGouran host a maths coffee and chat opportunity and I will be taking some children from Years 5 and 6 to compete in a Basketball competition at West Wight Sports Centre later on. We are still seeking parents to form a team for our maths week quiz, so please return your forms ASAP! We will also be holding a ‘work day’ on 13^th February. FAB are working hard to clear the school garden and would appreciate your help. If you can spare a few hours from 10am on the 13^th, please report to the school hall and you will be given a job! Finally, we’ve been issued with a severe weather warning for the weekend. If we receive a substantial snowfall and need to close the school, we will send you a text message at the earliest opportunity, so keep your phone handy! Also, if you tweet, remember to sign up to the Southern Vectis school transport twitter feed.
