Foxdell Dear Parents One of the things that makes me particularly proud to be part of the Foxdell Team is the support that the school receives from our families, you will see below that you raised a significant amount at the MacMillan coffee morning, a particular thank you to Mrs Uddin, Mrs Ahmed, Mrs Hussain and Mrs H Begum for co-ordinating the event. Another big thank you to those of you who were able to attend our parent consultation evenings last week, and a particular thank you to those of you who completed a questionnaire, the findings of which we will share in a newsletter after half term. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a happy and restful half term, and we look forward to welcoming the children back to school on Monday 31 st October 2016. Ms J Abbott - Head Teacher

‘GOOD TO BE GREEN’ Well done to children in Ladybirds, Wrens, Robins and Swifts as they all stayed on green week beginning 3rd October. Also well done to Hedgehogs, Ladybirds, Wrens and Swifts as they all stayed on green week beginning 10th October.
Year 1– Poetry English Lesson Children were required to work in groups and create sound effects for the poem before performing the poem to the rest of the class. Mr Philbin thought it would be nice to teach the lesson outside as the poem was about wind and it had been a windy day!

Uniform We will now be introducing two new items to our school uniform shop. The items can be seen below and are priced as follows: Fleece- £10.00 Hooded Jacket- £16.00 Price List
British Legion Society We have a variety of items for sale to support the British Legion Society. A suggested donation amount is £1 and all items can be purchased from school.

Next half term, we will be launching the ‘Rise and Shine’ initiative for which the children will be rewarded with a Bowling voucher for 100% attendance. Let’s see how many children achieve 100% attendance next half term?
