Biker’s Breakfast  

We reached out to Wicked Bikes to support our Biker’s Breakfast this term! They showed up in true style and repaired a range of bikes from staff and children. Year 3 organised the Biker’s Breakfast and promoted this as a cleaner, more sustainable way to travel. Year 2 made banana bread in our new kitchen for the event. Well done Years 2 and 3 and thank you to Wicked Bikes.

Parent’s Evening Feedback 

Most of our families came into school this week to meet teachers. Families were amazed by the progress they could see in children’s work books, floor books and displays. The children at Gainsborough make excellent progress in so many areas of learning: socially, academically and emotionally. We are forever proud, and really enjoy those moments, when parents can see their child’s progress on paper. It is also good to hear feedback from parents on our communication, how their child views school and what we could do better for them. Thank you for working as a team this week Gainsborough.

Each week we will award one child from Years 1-6 as most improved writer of the week. The award is for those who have shown a significant improvement in handwriting or writing throughout the week.

Year 1      Ayaan

Year 2     Elias

Year 3     Destiny-May

Year 4     Pawal

Year 5     Samuella

Year 6     Zariyah

Anti-Bullying Week and Odd Socks Day at Gainsborough

Next week we will focus on how we can intervene when children are unkind, how we notice differences between each other and approach these positively. The children in Years 1 -6 have been asked to design a pair of socks which would protect them from any bullies in their homework. Please talk to your child at home what they feel a pair of socks could protect them from! All children are invited to wear odd socks on Friday 22nd November to represent that we are all a little bit different!

Run Gainsborough Run, Sunday 17th November 2-4pm  

Please join us for the fundraiser of the year! Run Gainsborough Run is organised by Run Kids Run https://runkidsrun.org/ They support schools to complete a fun and friendly run, to provide sponsorship from corporate sponsors and to provide an event the school can collect sponsorship for. Previously, these events have raised a whopping £6000 a year for the school. This huge amount was made up of £5000 from the corporate sponsors, when the school has over 30% of school turn out to run, and a whopping £1000 of sponsorship money from the children’s friends and families. We hope to have over 70 runners this year so that we access this huge funding pot again! This is our single biggest fundraising event of the year, and previously this has contributed to resources for the children to all enjoy, like the resurfacing of the football cage.
