Thank you to all of the parents who attended the EYFS and KS1 Phonics workshop. If you didn’t get

chance to attend we will be repeating the workshop on Monday at 2.45pm. I’d also like to say a big well

done to the children who represented Burton Albion at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry, last Saturday. Henry

Chadwick beat Caludon Castle School from Coventry 3-1 at half time. Not many people can say that

they’ve played a football match in front of over 17,000 people. The Staffordshire Museum Service will

be visiting Year 5 and 6 on Tuesday to start an exciting design and writing project. A display will be

created on a bus which will travel round to other rural schools.

BURTON ALBION FC

Our visits to the Pirelli Stadium and Ricoh Arena

WHAT THE CHILDREN THOUGHT OF THEIR EXPERIENCE!

My Day at Burton Albion

On Saturday 19th December Loz, Sam,

Millie, Ellie and I went to Burton Albion

to watch a match and to take penalties

at half time.

Burton 3—Doncaster 3

We all had a great time.

It was an amazing opportunity to go to the Burton

football pitch to take two shots in the middle of a

football match at half time. I also scored two

goals!!.

On the 19th December six of us went to Burton Albion to watch

them play against Doncaster because of Ben (our teacher from

Burton) who taught us about fitness and health. And also Rykneld

School went, who we had a penalty shoot out with, and we won! As

we won the penalty shoot out, we now get to go to Coventry on 16th

January 2016!

PENALTY SHOOT OUT AT

BURTON ALBION

The penalty shoot out and the waving

flags were my favourite part of going

to Burton Albion . I really enjoyed the

penalty shoot out and because I scored

both my goals and we won the shoot

out and now we get to go to

Coventry. (I’ve been there

already and it is MASSIVE!). The

Coventry Stadium actually has

seats and it is much, much

BIGGER..

Our day was amazing. We went to Burton

Albion v Doncaster Rovers. When we got

there we were shown where we were

standing to watch the game. Before the

match started we watched the Burton

Albion dance group perform. After that

Ellie, Loz, Alfie, Loch and Same got to wave

flags on the pitch. We watched the first

half then at half time we took

penalties against

another school. Loz went in

goal for our school. At the end

Doncaster 3—Burton Albion 3.

I had a great day.

Candlemas Service 10.45am Sunday, 31st January at Hamstall Church

Candlemas is the festival that comes right at the end of the traditional Christian seasons of

Christmas and Epiphany. We take one last look at the stories of Jesus' childhood - this time it is the story of

when Mary and Joseph took the baby Jesus to the Temple. Hymns, readings and a

procession with candles make this a particularly beautiful and memorable Holy Communion service.

Please note the 10.45am start to our Candlemas Service to make it easier for people to come along.

CENSUS DAY

Thank you to everyone who had a

dinner on Thursday—this was really

helpful.

The lucky tray winners were Daisy and

Cosmia—each receiving a book of their

experiencing the

frosty weather. More
