60% of the total Fair takings come back to school to be spent
directly on our children, so it’s well worth supporting.

Last year we broke the £3,000 ceiling and are only the second school to achieve this!
With your help, we might even do it again!

The first round of the MFL Spelling Bee took place this week. Pupils in Year 7 learnt a bank of 50 Spanish words off by heart and had to spell as many as they could using the Spanish alphabet in one minute. This is the first time we have participated using Spanish rather than French, so all of our competitors are part of history in the making! Congratulations to the five winners who go through to compete in the second round next month. Or, we should say, ‘Felicitaciones’!
A team from BBC Bitesize came into school this week to get the views of our Y7. The website designers are in the process of putting together online activities and revision material for KS3 MFL and wanted feedback on their work so far. Our pupils were very forthcoming with their opinions, highlighting the positives they saw and what the team could do to make it even more appealing. The website goes live in a few months and will be available for all to access in school and at home.
Don’t forget our next PTA meeting is Tuesday 21st January at 7.00 pm.
We hope to see you there!
The students of Newminster and Chantry Middle Schools have been learning to sign and sing songs ready to join the yearly Sign2Sing event on Tuesday 11th February. This will be done as a whole school and will take place in the Chantry School Hall during the school day.
We think this is a terrific initiative which has taught the children a new and valuable skill as well as raising awareness of deaf issues.
SignHealth, which is a national charity, dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of deaf people, are behind the event. SignHealth is simply asking for a £1 donation in return for wearing non-school uniform on Tuesday 11th February and taking part in the event. All money raised will go towards helping SignHealth transform the lives of thousands of people living in the UK.
For more information about Sign2Sing please visit www.sign2sing.org.uk
These are the links to the songs we are learning for the event if your child would like to practise at home.
