Each class has been learning about the tradition of Remembrance Day.  The children have learned the day has been held since the First World War and that it’s celebrated in many countries across the world.  People from different backgrounds, cultures, and religions come together to honour Remembrance Day.

We remember the bravery and courage of those who fought in the World Wars on Remembrance Day.  But, we also commemorate all those who have served in the armed forces since, and those who are serving today.

Odd Socks Day is taking place on Monday 13^th November to mark the start of Anti-Bullying Week.  (Child name) is invited to join the staff of Monksmoor Park by wearing their odd socks to school to help raise awareness of bullying and to celebrate what makes us all unique.

We will launch Anti-Bullying Week with a whole school collective worship on Monday (in our odd socks) and all classes will have a lesson on the focus during the week.

We also welcome you to read this Parent Pack from the Anti-Bullying Alliance and Kidscape to support the message from home too.

Harvest Festival Collection

Thank you Monksmoor Park! Together we collected enough food and toiletry donations to fill a car! 

The Year 5 class organised our Harvest Festival collective worship this year.  This week some of our Year 5 pupils saw through their project to the end when they met Angela of Daventry Food Bank and helped to load her car full of our donations for transporting to the Food Bank. 

Wow, wow, and wow!

We would like to say a massive well done to those children who participated in the sponsored event. Collectively you raised £660 which is truly outstanding! This is a phenomenal amount of money to raise and every penny will be used toward the Bible wall art.

We loved looking through the sponsorship forms and learning what you did to raise the money.  Examples included scooting round Draycote Water, cycling round the Country Park, cycling to school, swimming daily whilst on holiday, and a special well done to those individuals who used this opportunity to learn to ride their bike.  Give yourselves a massive pat on the back!

With thanks
The Monksmoor Park PTA
