ARMISTICE DAY ASSEMBLY
We would like to say thank you to our wonderful children for the way they responded to our Armistice Day Assembly yesterday. The service was poignant and emotional with lovely singing from the children and choir. Well done to Cerys Wallis and Harriet Smith for playing their trumpets for us. We raised a significant amount from the sale of poppies and were commended by the
British Legion representative. Thank you everyone.

Your Friday Fortnightly contains—
Armistice Day Assembly
Netball match

New school calendar

Welcome to Mrs Jill Proctor who is now working in our foundation unit and to Eliana Proctor who has joined Year 6. We hope you will be very happy here.

SCHOOL CALENDAR
We have received the proofs of the new calendar today. The pictures look amazing, we are sure that you will agree with us. We will let you know as soon as calendars arrive in school for sale.

FRIENDS OF SCHOOL
Thank you very much to the FOS for their hard work in producing our school T-towels. They look fabulous and should make excellent gifts. Thank you very much everyone.

Please be considerate when parking outside school. It has been noticed that some people are parking on residents’ gardens along Back Lane.

If you have a talent or skill which you would be willing to share with us, please contact school. We’d love to hear from you. Thank you.

NETBALL MATCH
Well done to our netball team for drawing their match against St James’ Primary School last week. This was a fantastic result—5 all. I am told by Mrs Thomas that we may even have won if the match had been just a little longer. Keep it up children.

CHILDREN IN NEED
Next Friday, November 19th, is Children in Need Day. The theme this year is “Show your spots, let’s raise lots.” During the day we will be celebrating and trying to raise some money to send to the campaign to help children who are less fortunate than us. Our fancy dress theme for the day is ‘spots’. Any costume with spots on would be fabulous—maybe spotty dogs, spotty bandanas or even Pudsey himself! Please send children with a £1 donation for wearing fancy dress. There will be a prize for the ‘spottiest’ person in each class so it’s worth getting as spotty as you can! Mrs
Richardson will be baking throughout the day and will sell cakes and biscuits at the end of school. We will also try to cover Pudsey in coin ‘spots’ throughout the day. Children may bring small amounts of pennies to school for this. We hope that everyone will join in and enjoy our ‘spotty’ Friday. Praise assembly will be at
2:45 p.m. as usual although it would be really appreciated if you could wear at least one spot! GET OUT YOUR SPOTS—LET’S RAISE LOTS FROM MICKLETON.

VILLAGE CHRISTMAS FETE
This year, rather than run a Christmas Fete at school we are delighted to be taking part in the Village Christmas Fete. This will take place on Saturday 20th November at King George’s Hall. Our stall will have plenty of goodies for sale. All children are making some form of Christmas gift for sale so please do come along and support us. The gifts range from crackers to decorations. We have a range of ‘busy classroom factories’ at present making these gifts and we are certain that they will really look the part. Now, where did I put that flour?
