Mr J Sharp
Easter Bunny Hop…
I would like to say a massive thank you to all who supported us in raising money for the charity Together Dementia Support. We were asked recently if we would be interested in joining them to raise money doing a sponsored Bunny Hop and staff and children were very much on board with supporting this charity.
Our Children found out all about the charity and the important work they do every day last week and then we had the most fantastic morning on Monday, with a visit from the Easter Bunny as well!
With Year 3-6 doing Bunny Hop Hurdles, Year 1-2 doing Bunny Hop Relays and EYFS trying to get the hoop on the Bunny’s Ears, they had the most fantastic time - every child even got a pair of Bunny Ears!
I am very touched and overwhelmed with the support given by families and together as a school we handed over, just over £1500 to the charity to enable them to continue the amazing work they do.
During the period of Lent and Ramadan, it is important that we reflect on those that may need our help and I think that our school did this beautifully through this event - thank you everyone!

11 * March (Monday) to 10 April (Wednesday) RAMADAN Muslim
Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic Calendar, when the Prophet received the first revelation of verses of the Qur’an. It is the holiest month for Muslims, and they dedicate themselves to spiritual renewal, prayer and intensive devotional reading of the Qur’an. During the month of Ramadan Muslims are required to fast from daybreak until after sunset. No food or drink may be consumed during the hours of fasting, and those fasting must also abstain from smoking and from sexual relations. After the custom of the Prophet, the fast is traditionally broken each evening by taking dates and water.

Article 12
Today we said goodbye and good luck to Mrs Devine as she starts her retirement. Mrs Devine has selflessly given the last 30 years of her working life to All Saints and our children and families and has had a lasting impact on so many. We wish her all the best in her retirement and lots of new adventures!
Thank you Mrs Devine from all of the All Saints family. We will miss you!
Thank you to all of the children, parents and staff for everything that has gone into this term - it’s certainly been an eventful one but one with lots of happy smiles and successful moments. My highlights are always our celebration assemblies and class assemblies where we get to celebrate our children’s achievements.
Our school has also changed so much in the last 3 months and will continue to do so - watch this space!
Next term promises to be equally as eventful with lots of school trips to look forward to and much more besides.
Have a lovely Easter holidays and we will see you when we return on Monday 15th April.
Mrs Flatman
