Announcement - Millbrook Combined School Open Days

• Children in Need

  Thu 14 Nov 2024

  This year, we will be supporting the national campaign for Children in Need. Children can come to school dressed in non-uniform, including following this year’s theme of “Superhero style”. Please kindly bring in a £1 donation on the day, which will be collected by staff on the gates at the start and end of the school day. 

  There will also be a Pudsey Prize Raffle with Pudsey plushes and pens to be won!  Tickets will be on sale all week and are 20p each or £1 for a strip. Children can pay their raffle ticket money to their class teacher in the morning, who will record their ticket order so that raffle tickets can be delivered to classes later in the day. The winning raffle tickets will be announced during assembly on Friday 15^th November.

  Dear Parents & Carers,

   

  I can't believe that I have been here for only eight weeks! I hope that you have enjoyed the first half term and that you are looking forward to a break (I am, although I will have my own children to entertain!) Upon our return, we will approach Diwali. Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is a celebration that embodies the school's ASPIRE values of aspiration, success, pride, integrity, and equality. It marks the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil, inspiring individuals to aspire for inner growth and success in both spiritual and worldly realms. The festival fosters a sense of pride in cultural and spiritual heritage, while also encouraging the practice of integrity through self-reflection and honest living. Diwali's universal message of equality reminds us that the light within every soul deserves to shine equally, irrespective of social status. As the Bhagavad Gita states, “He who has no attachments can really love others, for his love is pure and divine,” and the Guru Granth Sahib echoes, “All beings and creatures are His; He belongs to all.” These timeless teachings encourage us to nurture a spirit of oneness and kindness, values central to the celebration of Diwali. Whatever you are up to this coming week - have a great half term and we will see you all on the 4th November!
