FOSLS CHRISTMAS EVENTS
The run-up to Christmas is traditionally
very busy for our amazing group of
fundraisers, FOSLS. They are sending
out a separate letter with all the details,
including the Christmas Fair on 3rd December and Breakfast With
Santa, 15th December. Look out for the raffle details: they have
done an incredible job in getting fantastic donations from many
local businesses and individuals. You’ve got to be in it to win it!
ANTI BULLYING WEEK
Whilst we do lots of activities to promote respect, friendship, equality
and diversity throughout the year, there is a national focus on anti-
bullying over the week beginning 15th November, the theme this year
being One Kind Word.
The first day of Anti-Bullying Week, Monday 15th November is Odd
Socks Day, to promote uniqueness. We are therefore asking children (and staff!) to
come to school wearing odd socks with their uniform to celebrate what makes us all
unique. The odder the socks the better! No charge, for this — just awareness raising.
Later in the week, we have SASWT visiting to lead a special assembly on Respect.
MUFTI (non uniform) DAYS
There is a bit of a flurry of events this term, but new parents, please be assured this
doesn't continue for the rest of the year!

Visit from Deputy Lieutenant
On 17th November, we will have a visit from the Deputy Lieutenant, Judith Greensmith,
who will be talking to the children and planting some trees as part of the Queen’s Platinum
Jubilee celebrations. Further details to follow.
SIAN AT COP26
We were very proud to see St Luke’s represented at the virtual
Children’s Parliament for COP26 by Sian, Y5. Sian took part in
the ninety-minute debate on climate change, helping to create
an official World Record for the largest Children's Parliament
ever hosted. The children, from all across the UK, voted on
important matters, including: What is the most important aspect
of Climate Change for COP26 delegates to consider? Do you
feel that you are proud, as a UK Citizen, of the efforts compared to the rest of the
world, your country is making to address Climate Change? The children were also
asked about wider issues, such as the Covid pandemic, with a
vote on: Do you feel that children should take part in another
lockdown, given there is little risk of death?
Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave an introduction and David
Davis MP answered questions live on the debate. Well done,
Sian!
TIMES TABLES ROCK STARS
Mr Hardman has been telling the children all about the
new TT Rockstars competition which starts next week.
Here are the details:
The competition runs from Monday 8th until Thursday
11th November, 7:30a.m. to 7.30p.m.
Only one hour’s worth of points will count each day, and children can split this hour
up into smaller blocks (e.g. 10 mins in the morning, 20 mins in school, 10 mins
before tea, 20 mins after tea)
Children can score points for any game played.
The best pupils and classes in the school will get certificates. If we have some of
the top-scoring pupils and classes in the country, we can win fabulous prizes such
as Amazon Gift Vouchers worth £100! Last year St Luke’s came 53rd out of
thousands of schools taking part and Mr Hardman is determined that we can do
even better this year, but this means EVERYONE in KS2 having a go every day
next week!
STAFF VACANCY AT ST LUKE’S
We have a vacancy for a lunchtime supervisor, to join our team of dedicated staff
supporting children in the hall at lunchtimes and supervising their play outside. This is for
an hour each day, 12.15 to 1.15pm. Please contact the school office for full details.
