Weekly Newsletter Summer 2018 Week 8 Next week is Walk to School Week when the children are encouraged to walk to and from school where possible. If you live too far away to walk, then perhaps you could park just a little bit further away than usual so the children can walk the last little bit. As in previous years, the children will collect a sticker for each time they walk to and from school. There are 10 stickers to collect in total and a prize will be awarded to the child in each class who walks most often. In addition to this, Happy Shoesday will take place on Tuesday 12th. The children are invited to wear their favourite shoes to school and bring a £1 donation for the school’s chosen charity, PLAN International. Please ensure the shoes are comfortable and can withstand play time! Happy Walking Emma Pritchard

Jill Gilmour has been at Upton for over sixteen years and she leaves today to take up a new role at St John’s Beaumont. She was touched to receive beautiful cards from each of the classes in Assembly yesterday and was equally thrilled to receive so many kind wishes from pupils, parents and her colleagues. We will all miss her and we wish her all the very best for the future. Rhian Thornton
