FRIDAY 16TH NOVEMBER 2018 GORDONBROCK WEEKLY

Year 1 Toy Museum Year 1 were very excited to invite their parents in to look at

the old games they had learnt to play. They taught them how

to play things like pick up sticks and marbles. Everyone joined

in making chatterboxes and peg dolls.

We all had great fun!

WELL DONE Louis from Aquamarine 2 took part in the British

National Taekwondo Championships held in

Sheffield.

He competed

and was the

3rd place cup

winner for

his club.

Well

done

Louis!

A big thank you all for your great participation in buying

books from the Travelling Book Fair last half term.

Let’s do better next week

Learning Time Lost w/b 12.11.18

10hrs 49mins

This was due to 44 children being late.

Unfortunately we continue to have children

arriving late into school which has a significant

impact on their learning. Parents and Carers

please ensure you factor in additional travel time

if you are aware of heavy traffic or you have a

long journey into school.
