Temple MeadowPrimary School

What a wonderful way to end the term! Our Polar Express Movie Evening was a huge success, with so many children enjoying the magical experience. The atmosphere was filled with excitement; it truly helped us all get into the festive spirit. A special thank you to Mrs. Claus who delighted the children by serving hot chocolate and cookies, adding that extra sparkle to the evening. We're also incredibly grateful to all the 'elves' who ensured the event ran smoothly.

We've had so much fun at our Nursery Reception and Hub Christmas Stay and Play events! A huge thank you to all the family and friends who joined us to make this festive occasion so special. We hope you enjoyed the activities and spending time with our wonderful Temple Meadow community.

We are absolutely thrilled to share the fantastic news that we have achieved the Arts Mark Gold award! This is a real testament to the hard work, creativity and dedication to ensuring Arts are a high profile in our curriculum. Thank you all for our teaching team for their incredible efforts in ensuring our children have access to a vibrant and enriching arts education. A special and heartfelt well done to Mrs Collins for her exceptional dedication and leadership in this process. Her hard work and commitment have been integral to our success and this achievement is truly a reflection of her passion for Art. What an outstanding accomplishment!

Year 1 have been reading and writing about Stickman by Julia Donaldson. We wanted to share a few pieces of fabulous writing with you from Maxine and Janawell done to both of you for your excellent work! A huge well done to everyone in Year 1 for your amazing effort and creativity.

What a wonderful way to celebrate the festive season! A huge thank you to all the children and staff in Years 3-6 for delivering such a magical carol concert at Holy Trinity Church yesterday. The atmosphere was truly heart-warming and the theme of tolerance, respect and understanding shone brightly through the beautiful songs and poems. Moments like these remind us of the strength of our school community and the importance of coming together to celebrate not only the holidays but also the values that unite us all.

I would like to extend a big thank you to one of our Parent Governors for bringing to our attention the issue of dog mess on the pavements around the school, particularly on Clifton Street. In response, we have worked with some of our children to create posters encouraging local dog owners to pick up after their dogs and help keep our community clean. A selection of these posters will be displayed outside the school this week. We hope they serve as a positive reminder to everyone in our community to take care of our shared spaces. Thank you for your support in keeping our environment safe and pleasant for all. Mrs Van Straaten - Headteacher
