TERM DATES

2018/2019

Christmas is fast approaching and we

have thoroughly enjoyed the

festivities this year at The Meadows.

Students have enjoyed Carols around

the tree, Christmas dinner, decorating

the corridors, a whole school

homework project and Winter Fair

preparations.

We are incredibly proud of student

achievements this term, it has been a

fantastic start to the academic year.

I would like to wish you all a happy

and healthy Christmas break and I

look forward to seeing you in the New

Year.

Sam Forbes

Interim Headteacher

The students in classes 5.3 and 5.4

have enjoyed thinking about what

the future of Christmas might look

like. They decided that in the future,

decorations would need to be

recycled and reused each

Christmas. They also think that

Father Christmas will need some

help - he will need drones and

be robotic so that he can keep up

with the amount of presents he

needs to deliver. Take a look at

some of our ideas:

Christmas Jumper Day.

On Friday 14th December staff and students across the school participated Christmas Jumper Day, for ’Save the Children’ charity.

There were some fantastic jumpers, hats and t-shirts from the students and a great festive atmosphere. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the charity.

We raised a grand total of £100.65.

On Friday 30th November

2018, The Meadows School

celebrated St Andrews Day.

Throughout the day the

students had lots of fun

preparing Scottish food to be

enjoyed in their corridor party.

They decorated the corridors

with flags and bunting, made

Scottish hats and sampled

Scottish music with a visiting

bagpipe player.

Your creative decorations really brightened

up our Christmas Tree’s this year! What a

wonderful whole school effort.

WHOLE SCHOOL

HOMEWORK PROJECT

The Snowdome Trip

Students and staff had a wonderful

time at the Snowdome’s Winter

Wonderland on Monday 10th

December. The trip was fully funded

by the Co-Op, we can’t thank them

enough for their generosity yet

again and for providing our

students with this wonderful

experience.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a

Happy New Year from all of the

staff at The Meadows School.

Winter Fair 2018

On Saturday 8th December, The

Meadows School welcomed

families and community partners

into school for the Winter Fair.

What a huge success it was, with

over 40 stalls, festive games and

food for all to enjoy.

The event raised an AMAZING

£1281, which will be used

towards the refurb of our

outdoor areas.

Thank you to all who donated,

purchased raffle tickets and

supported on the day - your

generosity and kindness is

greatly appreciated by all.

Our sixth form enjoyed hosting an Enterprise

Day on Monday 3rd December, we certainly

had some happy shoppers taking away

handmade items. Well done everyone!
