At Nursery our RE topic is Galilee to Jerusalem. During this topic we listened to stories of Jesus’ love for us. One of the stories was the Feeding of the Five Thousand portrayed through a book called The Boy Who Shared His Sandwich. Following the story we made flat bread. Making the flat bread became a cross curriculum activity with ‘Change’ our current school concept. We discussed how the dough changed into edible tasty bread after we applied heat.
We are thrilled to share the success of this year’s School Christmas Shoebox Appeal!
A huge thank you to all our pupils, families, and staff who generously donated shoeboxes filled with thoughtful gifts and festive surprises. Your kindness will bring smiles to children and adults who need it most this Christmas.
When Glenis came to collect the shoeboxes, she was truly overwhelmed by the incredible response and the mountain of beautifully wrapped boxes. She expressed her heartfelt thanks on behalf of the charity Blytheswood Care and was deeply touched by the generosity shown by our school community.
Together, we collected 50 shoeboxes, each one a symbol of care, compassion, and Christmas spirit.
Thank you once again to everyone who contributed — your efforts have made a real difference.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
After the success of previous years, along with our Missio group, we have decided to take part in the Christmas Shoe Box Appeal.
We understand that creating a shoe box filled with items could work out quite expensive, so we are giving you two options.
Option 1: If you would like to create a completed shoe box then please follow the instructions overleaf (letters have been sent today) and secure the checklist to the top of the box lid. The shoebox must contain all the necessary items and be labelled correctly.
Option 2: Alternatively, please take a gift tag from the tree in the school foyer which will have just one item for you to buy.
Completed shoeboxes/items will need to be sent in by Monday 20th October. They are going to be distributed to families in the U.K as well as the poorest communities in Hungary, Bulgaria, Moldova, Serbia and Ukraine amongst others.
If you have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you in advance for your support,
Mrs A. Owen
