• Sponsored Circle Of Hands... Thursday 16th at 1.30pm

  Wed 15 May 2019

  Thursday’s Sponsored Event: Our chain of hands around Oldswinford is just in the final planning stages! Sorry for the delay in sharing this but I think we’re finally sorted now! We have changed the route to make it shorter and safer. 

   

  If any parents, carers or family members would like to join us, we will be leaving school at 1.30pm. Led by Mrs Seker, children in Reception, Year 1, Year 3 & Year 4 will be leaving school by the pedestrian gate on Field Lane so if you congregate there, you can join your child as they come out.

   

  Led by Mr Pardoe, children in Year 2, Year 5 & Year 6 will leave school by the Marlborough Drive gate, so likewise, please meet us there to join your child. 

   

  Mr Pardoe will lead his group up Swinford Road, along Love Lane and down the alley back to Field Lane.

  Mrs Seker will lead her group up Field Lane into the cul-de-sac to meet Mr Pardoe and his group.

   

  Once joined, we will sing ‘He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands/ He’s Got Everybody Here in His Hands’ then head back to school to resume our afternoon. 

   

  We hope you can join us to help raise awareness and funds to support Christian Aid in their quest to removing barriers to education for children across the globe.

• Parent Pray-ers

  Tue 14 May 2019 Mrs Jo Seker
  Just to let you know that as part of our commitment to prayer and worship as a school community, we now have a prayer request jar in the school foyer. If you have any requests that you would like our parent-pray-ers to include in their prayers, please feel free to put a note in the jar (there are some prayer request slips and envelopes next to the jar). Your prayer request can contain as much or as little information as you like, even just one word, and of course all requests will be treated in confidence. It could be that you are concerned about a sick relative, or would like prayer for a decision you are facing, or even something that you are thankful for – they’re happy to have them all! There are also some little slips of paper next to the prayer request jar with verses of encouragement from the Bible – if you would like to take one of these away with you please do.
  
  Also, just a reminder that our parent pray-ers would love it if there are other parents/carers/grandparents from our school community who would like to join them on their prayer walk, they would be more than welcome! Anyone interested in joining our parent pray-ers can meet them outside the main school entrance/foyer straight after dropping off their children on a Tuesday morning. Alternatively, if you are interested but would like to find out more information, please contact the school office and they will put you in touch with our parent pray-ers

  

• Hands Across The World

  Fri 10 May 2019 Mrs Jo Seker

  Christian Aid week will be upon us from Monday!

  The children have brought home letters and sponsor forms for our sponsored event next Thursday afternoon. We thank you in advance for your support. Parents/ carers and families are welcome to join us linking hands around Oldswinford. We may plan a slightly shorter route, cutting out Corser Street and Craufurd Street, instead cutting through the alley from Love Lane onto Field Lane so that we can guarantee a full circle of hands.

   

  On Monday, we will be introducing the children to this year's theme and throughout the week, each class will be focussing on Christian Aid activities.

   

  What a great opportunity to teach the children about the impact they can make, caring for their global neighbours.
