• Marvellous Monday 14th March

  Mon 14 Mar 2022

  Last week was a really special week at Gunthorpe as we had the opportunity to give lots of donations to Ukraine and track Mrs Owen's husband as he drove a van to the Polish border with Ukraine. A separate news item provides further details or do look at our Facebook/ twitter pages to see more.

   

  We also welcomed parents into school for parents evening which went really well. It is so lovely for parents to be able to look through children's books and discuss how well their child is getting on at school.

   

  This Thursday is red nose day - we look forward to sampling lots of masterchef entries which will then be sold to raise money for Comic Relief. Children can come wearing red and crazy hair or dress to express themselves! Donations of cash or via parent pay all welcome.

   

  On to our Brilliant book...

   

  Infant 1- Leyla M- for fantastic independant writing using your phonics skills superbly!

   

  Infant 2- Frances- for a fantastic piece of story writing that really impressed Mrs Owen.
  Bella- for superb maths work on fractions

   

  Junior 1- Anders - continued practise of times tables means his score is going up every week. What fantastic determination!

• Sending aid to Ukraine

  Mon 14 Mar 2022

  A huge thank you to all those parents who have so generously provided last week aid for those in Ukraine. Mrs Owen's husband left last Tuesday morning and provided us with updates of his progress from Southwell to the Polish border with Ukraine.  All the children in the school also made cards that were given out to children and families.

   

  We had a very special call with Andy as he was unloading the van at the border for all the children to see their donations be transported onto a larger lorry. We heard how one large lorry was being filled every hour with donations to be taken into Ukraine, this really put some perspective on how great the need is.  The children were incredibly respectful and it made a big difference to see how they could help at this difficult time.
