We are delighted to share the names of our "MEERKAT Champion of the Week" award in each class last week as follows;
Reception – Austin M-F
Class 1 – Ollie P

Class 3 – Thomas C
Well done to you all!
Swimming at the Abbey Sports Centre
Class 3 pupils begin their swimming sessions on Monday 27 February. They will have 6 sessions up to the Easter Holiday. As always, we very much appreciate a ‘voluntary contribution’ of £2 per session per pupil towards the hire costs of the pool at the Abbey Sports Centre (OCC no longer fund this) and the transport costs. Cheques for swimming contributions should be payable to Stadhampton Primary School please. Thank you.
Recorders
A reminder that pupils in Class 2 and Class 3 will have recorder lessons, on Mondays, starting on Monday 27 February until the Easter Holidays.
Football Tournament at RAF Benson
Well done to the pupils in Classes 2 and 3 who represented Stadhampton School at this week’s partnership football tournament. We came an admirable 3rd out of 6 teams in each age group. Here are some comments from the children;

We all had a great time with many goals scored and we came third. Thank you to Mrs Singleton and Mrs Hutton-Price for taking us.” – Report by Mia Gravett and Casey Price
“On Wednesday 22 February students from Classes 2 and 3 participated in a football tournament, both coming third. It was a tight competition and the windy conditions made for a great atmosphere. Ewelme and Watlington dominated getting one win and one second place a piece, us, Chalgrove, Lewknor and RAF Benson weren’t as lucky. We all really enjoyed it.” Report by Daniel Ellis
Thank you to Mrs Singleton for managing the teams and to Mr Cove, Mr Hursey and Mrs Hutton-Price for their support. Thank you also to Mrs Singleton and Mrs Turner for washing the match kits afterwards!
World Book Day Vouchers
Every child in school will be given a World Book Day voucher on Friday 24 February to take home as part of the annual World Book Day initiative. The voucher can be redeemed at participating bookshops and can be exchanged for a special World Book Day book or be worth £1 off the cost of a children’s book.
A reminder that pupils (and staff!) are invited to dress up as a character from a book and pay £1 donation on Friday 3 March (see last newsletter and Diary Dates below).
ELLI Project Assembly
Our latest character in the ELLI Project was introduced by Class 1. They did a short role play, with the characters, introducing ‘Creative Unicorn’ who helped the others with writing poems. We learnt about experimenting with ideas and taking risks too.
Run a Mile a Day Initiative
Following the popularity and positive impact of the ‘Run a Mile a Day’ initiative piloted in Class 3, we will now be extending this to Class 2. This will start from Monday 27 February so please could all pupils in Class 2 have their trainers available every day – although we plan to ‘run’ 3 times a week, the days may vary depending on the weather! The children will not be expected to run a whole mile but run, jog or walk one or two laps of the playing field. If you would like to find out more about this initiative the following website is very helpful http://thedailymile.co.uk
New School Meals Menu
A new school meals menu which begins on Monday 27 February has been uploaded to the school website. Hard copies are awaited from Food and More and will be distributed to families as soon as they arrive. A copy of the new menu is also on display outside the school office.
PTA News
Thank you to everyone who came to the disco just before half term. We raised almost £200, which is great, so thank you to all for your support.

Community News:
The Village Prescription Run - A plea for help...
Did you know that each week there is a service available to collect prescriptions from Berinsfield Surgery which can then be collected from the village shop for those who for varied reasons are unable to get there themselves? The service will also take people to appointments on that day. Along with volunteers, Ann Tothill organised this service for many years and a huge thank you must go to all involved.
We now need a new co-ordinator and volunteers to continue this service. If we are unable to find enough people regrettably it will have to stop. The time commitment is quite minimal as it is organised on a rota basis.
If you are able to help or want to find out more, please contact Stephen Dawson on 07729 902427 or email s.dawson78@yahoo.co.uk
