NEWS FROM AROUND THE SCHOOL

​

Happy New Year!

​

It has been a great first week back, despite the snow and ice. I hope you all had a restful holiday.

​

On Wednesday, Belted Galloway class completed the K-Nex challenge STEM workshop. They had a fantastic time designing and building an automated warehouse, including moving parts and storage. This was a competitive event and congratulations go to Harrison and Sylvester for being selected to go forward to the next stage of the competition later in the year.

​

We also welcomed Mrs Greenwoods back to outdoor learning after her maternity leave, we have all missed her and it is lovely to have her back with us.

​

Clubs will start next week, except for crochet that will start on the 20th January. A reminder that clubs are bookable through Arbor, there are still places available in most clubs. I would like to encourage Hereford class to consider taking part in the Multi-sports club with Tim Dowds. It is a fun club where you can develop many fundamental skills through games and activities.

​

As I am sure you are aware, during the Christmas period our local community was hit by a terrible tragedy. The deaths of Eve, Ohner and Nu Shearman have been felt by everyone. I am aware that many of our school community will have known Tom, Nu and the children, and may be struggling to process the terrible events. The communities of Brimscombe and Minchinhampton are being actively supported by the local churches and Reverend Natalie has offered her support to our community in Amberley. Please contact her, if you feel you would benefit from some support.
