We have organised an informal meet and greet session at school to enable you to meet your child’s new class teacher. This is very informal and will be more of a Q&A session. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and look through pupils’ books so you can see the topics studied and skills developed throughout the year. There will also be a range of literature available, specific to the year group. If you are unable to make it, please email me any questions and I will pass them on to the class teacher. All literature will be made available on the website under the ‘Helping Your Child Learn’ menu.

We look forward to an evening of Victoria talent on Friday evening. Fingers crossed the weather will be good. If it is raining we will obviously have to cancel the event. Adults to pay £2 at the door. There is no charge for children or pupils of the school. Please come through the pupil entrance on the junior site.

We kindly ask that you do not bring alcohol or glass bottles to this event. There will be a bar for people wishing to buy an alcoholic drink, served in plastic glasses.

Please feel free to bring along a picnic and a rug/chairs. There will also be refreshment stalls and a BBQ. The PTA have also organised a family quiz and other entertainment to keep younger children occupied.

The children are welcome to wear their own clothes for the extravaganza unless they have been specifically asked to wear a costume. For example, the children in year 5 are dressing up as workhouse children as they are singing songs from Oliver. We do not want parents buying costumes – there is really no need. We have lots of costumes in school. Please ask the class teacher if you are unsure.

We expect all children to attend this event. If your child is unable to attend, please inform the class teacher.

Thank you.

 

We would like to say a big thank you to Gwen Thomas, our Active Journeys Champion. She visited school last week and took a walk around the locality to assess the safety of our local roads for safe, active travel. Please take a minute to read her report and suggestions. Hopefully, Wrexham Council and Safer Routes will consider Gwen’s advice and continue to make our locality a safer place for our pupils and parents.

We had a lovely time at Theatre Clwyd on Tuesday. The play and workshops were superb and the children had a brilliant time.

Dear Parents/Carers,

Today, I have seen comments posted on a Facebook group page and whilst the comments were not particularly offensive, there were inaccuracies and an unfair commentary.

I place a huge amount of importance on developing good partnerships and relationships with all parents in school and have always promoted an open door policy, where parents are always welcome to discuss their worries.  If you do have concerns you should contact the school to arrange a meeting with myself.

It seems to be an appropriate moment to remind you that if you wish to make a formal complaint, this will be dealt with in line with the school’s complaints policy which you will find on our school website in the main menu under policies.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Debbie Eccles

Many thanks for you feedback this year. Your comments are discussed with all staff and are included in our School Improvement Plan

 

We had a great response from all the pupils who took part in the pedometer challenge.

Altogether the 16 pupils took 396,136 steps.

Our infant winner was Zoe Jude who took 27,527 steps.

Our junior winner was Marcel Beym who took 43,128 steps

And a special well done to Kieran Stephenson who took the challenge off his own back and took over 45,000 steps!

Also, participants of the walking bus were given a raffle ticket and Natalia, William, Ruby and Laynie were drawn out the hat!

Well done all.

 

 

 

We had a super healthy day at Victoria today. It started with over forty children taking part in the walking bus this morning! Then all classes had a go on the smoothie bikes and tasted the super healthy smoothies created by pedal power! Our pedometer challengers have been extremely active trying to gain as many steps as they can. We will be looking at their data tomorrow! Thank you to all staff and parents who helped with the walking bus this morning and thank you to all parents who joined us for our last parents’ day of the year – we love having you in school. And finally, a big thank you to Sasha from Hoola Nation for providing the smoothie bikes and making the day a huge success!
