Lenten Charities Myton Hospice- Teddy on Tour Earlier in the week, Clare from Myton Hospice talked to the children during assembly and they have been given a fun challenge to help support the charity! You may have seen a new addition to your family, in the form of a little wooden teddy bear. The challenge is to name the bear, design clothes and look after them for a week, taking them everywhere you go. Fill in the form on the front of the envelope as to what activities your bear has done each day, ask parents to sign the form and hand it in to the teacher at the end of the week. By making a donation and sponsoring the children in the challenge, you will be greatly supporting the fantastic work that Myton carries out. To add an extra twist to the excitement, we would like you to send photos of your bear in an exciting place or doing a particular activity to [email protected] and they will be shown on the school website!
Sports Results & Fixtures Football 4 a side: Well done to the girls who played in a tournament earlier this week and got as far as the semi-final, and to the boys for getting to the final before losing 1-0 to Finham. Football: Best of luck to the team as they play Corpus Christi on Tues 1 March and St Thomas More (A) Fri 4 March. Netball Team: Well done to the team in their match v St Osburgs earlier this week. Good luck to the netball team when they play Holy Family on Thurs 3 March.
