OFSTED
As you are aware, an Ofsted inspection was carried out at Tame Valley Academy on Tuesday 27th November 2018. Full feedback from the inspection will be shared in due course. We are delighted with the outcome and are really proud of our wonderful school. Thank you to all our pupils, families, staff and governors.

CHRISTMAS FAYRE
Thank you for all the donations of bottles brought into school today. We are having another non-uniform day next Friday, 7th December 2018, where children will be asked to bring in donations of chocolate or biscuits.
We also need some donations of raffle prizes. So if anyone has any good quality unwanted gifts that they would be happy to donate, these will also be very gratefully received.
The Christmas Fayre will be held in the school hall on Wednesday 19th December 2018, from 3.30pm—5.30pm. Once again, Father Christmas will be joining us and there will be lots of stalls, including refreshments and Christmas gift ideas as well as games. We hope all our families will be able to join us.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
If anyone has any unwanted Christmas decorations that are in good condition, we would be really happy to use them in school to make the classrooms, corridors and hall look really Christmassy for the children. Please send any donations into school with your child or bring them directly to the school office. Thank you.

ATTENDANCE
Well done to Year 4 who were the best attending class last week. (99.4%).

FUNDRAISING
We are very proud of Kyle in Year 4 who is completing a sponsored silence on Saturday 8th December to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society. Kyle has brought his sponsor form into school and would be grateful for any sponsorship what anyone is able to offer. Please see the school office or the Year 4 teacher for further details. Good luck Kyle!

RAINBOW LACES
Well done to Morgan in Year 6 who has won the Rainbow Laces competition organised through our links with Aston Villa. Rainbow Laces is a campaign designed to tackle homophobia in sport. The children were asked to design a pair of laces and produce a piece of writing on the theme of inclusion for all. A fantastic achievement Morgan, well done.

BUG CLUB
We have recently purchased a new online resource for pupils in Key Stage 2 to use to support them in their Reading. If your child in KS2 has not already received their log in details from their teacher, they will do so early next week. Children are encouraged to access the resource at home as part of their ongoing home learning. Go to www.activelearnprimary.co.uk and click on the Bug Club link to log on and get started. We hope that children will get lots of use out of this new resource and that they will feel it is a really useful way of accesing interesting and appropriate reading resources. Any feedback form parents about the new resource would, as always, be gratefully received.
