Dear Parent/Carer,

It has been another productive week at Dr Thomlinson CofE Middle School.

 

KS3 Road Safety Drama

Giving children important messages regarding keeping safe is a really important par of our wider curriculum and on Tuesday, 6th December Yr 7 & Yr 8 children took part in a “Josh Green Education Theatre Performance ” in our main hall.  The main message of the play was the importance of road safety and the play was very well received by our children.

 

Yr 8 Sport leaders

Thank you very much to the ten Yr 8 Sport Leaders who helped run our annual First Schools Football Festival on Thursday.  Due to icy weather the festival was brought indoors yet it was still a great success.

 

We are looking forward to some very important christmas School events next week:

 

Christmas Celebration – Tuesday 13 December

Parents and carers who responded to our invite to take part in our Christmas Celebration event on Tuesday, 13th December will be joining us in one of two performances of the event on Tuesday afternoon.  All those who said they wanted to attend have been sent an invitation and we look forward to the celebration.  Mince pies and refreshments will be served during the event and we ask those invited to make a donation with all monies raised going to Shelter – the charity that supports housing and homelessness in the United Kingdom
