To celebrate the 75th Birthday of the NHS, they are holding a birthday card competition. (Please see the below information)

If children would like to take part in this, they are being asked to design a birthday card to celebrate the NHS. 

Designs should be as creative as possible, using crayons, pens, sticking etc and no bigger than A4.

The competition closes during half term, so we shall be sending the designs away on Friday 26th May. All entries MUST be handed in to the school office by lunchtime on Friday 26th May.

Many thanks

'On Wednesday 5 July 2023, the NHS will mark 75 years of service. To help celebrate this, NHS Lincolnshire is launching a design a birthday card competition open to all primary school children in the county.

The chosen entry will win themselves and their school class the exciting opportunity to visit the new tri-service centre in Lincoln, which is home to fire, police, and ambulance services.
The children will have the opportunity to have a tour and sit in the emergency service vehicles, and also speak and ask questions to the emergency services team. The visit will take place on Tuesday 18 July 2023.
Entries should be on A4 paper and be as creative as possible to help celebrate this exciting milestone, so get the glue, glitter and the crayons out and join in the fun.
The winner will be chosen by representatives of each of Lincolnshire’s NHS organisations on Friday 9 June and will be announced on Monday 12 June 2023.'

We have had an increasing amount of lost property arrive in the school office this week. On Wednesday, we had 17 pieces of lost property to add to the already large pile.

Please can all uniform be labelled with names as we can then return it back to its owner. This includes coats and any other item coming into school. 

We are very aware that uniform is really expensive and so needs to be with its rightful owner. 

We will once again put a table in the foyer for you to look through and claim any items - all unclaimed items will be put into recycling or second hand uniform sale on the last day if term. 

Thank-you 

On Thursday, 27^th April, some of the year 3 & 4 children took part in a cross country event.  There were over 130 boys and over 120 girls taking part in this event.  The children all did amazingly well, they were so enthusiastic and gave it everything!

One of our children placed third and was awarded a medal.

We were very, very proud of them!!

The school is so proud of David, who on his own initiative since Summer 2022 has raised nearly £800 for Grantham's foodbank by selling raffle tickets for his monthly cheese raffle outside Great Gonerby's Post Office, whatever the weather!

David said: “I started to do all of this because a lot of people out there don’t have a home and I thought it would be good to raise money and help them get food.”

His sterling effort has been reported on in the Grantham Journal, see the article here.

Well Done David, you really are an inspiration and Aspiring to Achieve Excellence.

Just a quick reminder the order cut off date for school lunches from Farm Kitchen for the first week back after the Easter break is Tuesday, 11^th April by 3pm 

Ordering by this date will ensure your child/ren will receive a hot tasty lunch when they come back after the Easter break on Tuesday 18^th April.

Thank you

School Council Bake Sale

Thank you to everyone who supported the School Council with their bake sale.

We managed to raise £125

We continue to fundraise by collecting loose change. Each class has their own jar to collect the coins. The class who raises the most money by the end of term will earn a reward.

Unfortunately this year we are unable to sell red noses in school for Comic Relief.

We shall still support the charity by holding a non uniform day on Friday 17th March for a donation of £1. Children are welcome to wear red nose day accessories on this day.

We are also supporting the Marie Curie Great Daffodil appeal during March.  We shall be selling badges in school from Monday 13th March ready for their Day of Reflection on Thursday 23rd March. .

The badges will are available to purchase from the school office for a suggested donation of £1.
