Unfortunately we are still not in a position to share dates for the year. We shall do so as soon as we are confident that events can take place. We are looking into alternative ideas for certain events in order that the children do not miss out. New items are in red.

Christmas Plans at Frenchay This year is obviously going to be very different for us all during the festive season. Unfortunately there are events and activities that are not going to be possible this year with the COVID_19 restrictions. This includes the children giving out Christmas cards, the PTA Christmas Fair and them providing presents to the children from Father Christ- mas. Father Christmas himself will also not be able to visit school this year as he is going to keep himself safe in the North Pole until the big day! However there is still lots of fun to be had and we are working hard to try to make as many other activities as pos- sible work. Please see below for more information: Christmas Jumper Day in aid of Save the children is on 11th December. Please all wear your sparkly jumpers and don your reindeer antlers for this fun day. Christmas Dinner 16th December. There will be a Dolce Christmas Dinner. It is ESSENTIAL that all dinners are or- dered online through Dolce BY 9th DECEMBER. Any orders made after this point will not be possible due to the limitations for Dolce. Christmas Party There will be a Christmas party for the children on Thursday 17th December. These will be in bub- bles/ classes with party games and everyone enjoying some party food. We would ask that this year, all children come into school with a small plastic food container (or sandwich box) with their own portion of party food for them to enjoy. Food will not be shared as in previous years. Unfortunately the usual children’s entertainer provid- ed by the PTA will not be possible but there will be games and activities to enjoy the festive season. Children can wear party clothes for this day. Please remember our Allergy Policy when selecting food for the party. No nuts are allowed and please avoid any food containing egg products. There are many biscuits that contain egg so please check the label carefully. Nativity We are working hard to try an alternative Nativity for everyone to enjoy this year. Children in Unicorn, Gruffalo and those in year 2 in Griffin will be performing the Christmas story in a series of scenes which will be rec- orded and shared via a google link. This can then be shared with grandparents and friends for all to enjoy. We would like your permission to film your child in these scenes for sharing in this way. Without permission your child will not be on camera as part of the performance. It is therefore essential that all parents from reception to year 2 complete the form accessed here expressing whether you give consent or not by Wednesday 2nd December. Panto The annual Panto trip will not go ahead but we have organised a virtual panto which can be enjoyed by all classes in their bubbles. This is a performance of ‘Covidella and the Masked Ball’! Something different to make this season even more memorable! Open the Book normally lead our worships every other week in school. As they are unable to visit at present they have been practising their own virtual version of the nativity which will be shared with us in each bubble. It is a lovely way for them to still be part of the school and for the children to see their worships which they thoroughly enjoy.

Learning in Phoenix Class In Phoenix class we have been going Egyptian crazy recently! We have been learning all about Ancient Egypt and all the amazing things that they invented that we still use today. We have been creating our own Shadufs which the Egyptians used (and still use today) to extract water from the Nile into the surrounding fields. We have also been making our own canopic jars using clay and paper mâché.
I would like to say a huge thank you to all the children in Phoenix class for always being positive and giving 100% in every lesson - as parents you should be proud!
Worship This week I have been lucky enough to work with more children in class and welcoming those who are new to the school . They have placed their pebble in the koinonia bowl and we have had some heart warming discussions about what this means to us and how it impacts on the strength of our community. It is delightful to hear from the children how important this is to them.
Value for term 2: Trust Pause for Thought This week: Why are our hands so important in helping us to trust in God? Next week: How does the story of Mary explain God’s plan for each of us?

PTA Fund Raising The PTA have announced an amazing outcome to the Coop Fundraising that they organ- ised. A whopping £5,051.77!! Thank you so much to everyone who has made this possible. It is a fantastic outcome.
After School Clubs With the change in guidance due to the lockdown unfortunately any after school clubs that were run by people who are not currently working in school have had to be postponed. This in- cludes Robotics and Street Dance. Those that are run by Progressive Sports will continue as these coaches are already working in bubbles during the school day. The clubs have been organised so they are not cross- ing bubbles at any point in the day. Miss Pickering will also continue her Craft club for Gruffalo. We hope to reinstate the other clubs in the new year.

Notice of proposed changes to the Olympus Admissions Arrangements for the academic year 2022/2023
The Olympus Academy Trust is consulting on its proposed admission arrangements for the academic year 2022/23. The consultation will be open from 23rd November 2020 to 15th January 2021.

Year 7 at Bradley Stoke Community School (BSCS) currently has a Published Admission Number (PAN) of 180 into Year 7. From September 2022 it is proposed to reduce the PAN to 150 for external applicants. A further 30 places will be taken up by stu- dents already on roll in Year 6 at BSCS moving up into Year 7.
