Dear North Tawton Families and Friends, Chinese New Year We learnt about Chinese New Year in assembly. We acted out the story of the Jade Emperor choosing the animals to name the years. This year is the Year of the snake. Thank you so much to Mandy, Nicki and Meradith for preparing a special Chinese New Year Lunch! We had chicken noodles, veggie wraps, Chinese fruit, biscuits and fortune cookies. We used chop sticks and listened to traditional Chinese music. The kitchen servery looked amazing, as did our chefs! Talent Show We are so proud of all of the children who came along to an audition over the past two weeks. We have been treated with lots of different acts and the children have enjoyed being an audience as well as performing. It takes courage to stand up and perform in front of others, so well done to them all. We can not showcase them all, so after lengthy deliberation and tough choices, the finalist are, (in no particular order) drum roll please….. The Ghost Busters – William, Rupert, Eloise, Lyra and Ada The Diamonds – Willow, Amelia, Poppy, Lola, Mia, Grace, Brooke, Delilah and Adaline The Little Frogs - Friday afternoon Nursery The Magnificant Magicians – Layla and Emily Ben Sofiia Francesca and Friend Raf Sheeran- Rafie The Crazy Dads - Clayton and Evander The Blossoms - Lily Rose, Amelia, Tabitha, Evie May Please come along to the show at 2pm next Friday. Attendance With the horrible bug doing the rounds, the attendance of children and staff has dropped dramatically. Thankfully we seem to be out of the worst of it. We track attendance of all children across the year. When attendance drops, we do follow up with letters and meetings, even when the absences are authorised. We always want to work with you to identify barriers and plan for improved attendance in the future. Please do not see this as anything other than us fulfilling our role to ensure children have every opportunity to thrive. To find out what we have been learning, please click on the links to our latest class blogs: Sycamore Class Hazel Class Willow Class Beech Class Chestnut Class Acorn Class Parents – please make sure you are signed up to Dojo as this is where we post information about class and school events.
