We have made it to half-term! It has been a long, but fantastic first term of the year.

​

Firstly, I wanted to say a huge well done to our Dexter Class children, they have made a fantastic start to life at Amberly and are already making huge progress.

​

On Tuesday afternoon, three members of Belted Galloway class (Austin, Maya and Edward) had an afternoon of work experience at the Amberley church shop, supported by Mrs Truphet and Mrs Stevens. They were involved in restocking the shelves, they learnt how to use the tills, and they served customers, and all were complimented by the people they worked with. Every member of Year 6 will have the opportunity to do this over the course of the academic year.

​

On Wednesday evening we held our Maths curriculum evening, thank you to everyone who attended, it is wonderful to be so well supported by our families. We feel it is important that we have the opportunity to share how we do things in school, and maybe have a little fun too (if you can call the 37 times table fun)! Thank you to all the teachers, and particularly Mr Beech for organising this.

On Thursday some of our Y5/6 girls, along with Mrs Hamilton had an amazing afternoon at Hartpury College and University for a football session with coach Spencer Hamilton to prepare for their football competition next term. Despite the awful weather, which started the second the session began, the girls had a fantastic time playing games, learning new skills, and taking part in matches. All of the girls thoroughly enjoyed the session and were a real pleasure to take, showing excellent attitudes, behaviour, and representing our school brilliantly. A huge thank you to Spencer Hamilton from Hartpury for offering this session and allowing us to use their wonderful facilities. Thanks also to Mrs Dickin, Mr Hunnisett, Mr Torres-Davies, and Mr Lindsey for their help with transport. We are hoping to organise a similar event for the boys later in the year.

​

A reminder that it is half term next week and the school will reopen on Monday 3rd November.

​

On Tuesday 4th November the school photographer will be in taking individual and sibling photos. If you have younger siblings that you would like to be in the photograph, please be in school for 8:30am that morning. All other photographs will be taken during school time.

​

The Poppy Appeal will be available on our return to school after the half term break.  Please ensure you child/ren have a few pennies in school to make a donation for the goodies on offer.

​

Have a fantastic half-term holiday, whatever you are doing!
