  It was great to see so many parents/ carers at our community drop in session this morning at school. The event was organised by one of our Governors - Jo Brownsword - along with Safina Jamal who is the local area co-ordinator for public health from Leicestershire County Council.

  The session was to promote support and services available locally. We had the following support and advice services in school this morning promoting how they can help our community -

• Children in Need day 2023

  It was great to see so many children in their own clothes last Friday to celebrate Children in Need day 2023. Lots of children wore Pudsey ears and some even forgot to get dressed and had PJs and onesies on!

  Thank you for working together to raise £132.92 for a great charity.

   

   

  

• Odd socks day 2023 - Anti-Bullying Week

  Mon 13 Nov 2023

  It was great to share our odd socks today - Monday 13th November - to start Anti-Bullying Week 2023 and embrace our differences. The theme of this year's week is 'Make some noise about bullying.' We launched with an assembly today to look at how we can all support each other here at Thythorn Field. We embrace and respect our differences as we are an 'Everyone's Welcome' school. This means we learn about and embrace the 9 protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010

   

  Can you spot your socks?

  

• Recycling week 2023 - The Big Recycling Hunt competition winners

  During national  recycling week, 16-22nd November, and the week after that, we ran a poster competition for new labels for our bins. Children had to design a sign for our recycling bins and our normal bins for the Eco Council.

  We had lots of great entries which we will display on our Eco Council board in school. The winner for Key Stage 1 and EYFS was Lilley in Year 1 and the winner in Key Stage 2 was Eva in Year 3. Well done to all the entrants. The winners will receive their prize shortly!
