On Friday Year 6 were delighted to receive letters and cards from their French pen-pals (who they wrote to in the Summer term of Year 5). The school is called Ecole Primaire Publique Elise Freinet and is Saint-Jean-sur-Mayenne which is commune (town/village) located

in the Mayenne department, within the Pays de la Loire region in north-western France, situated along the Mayenne River.

The children are looking forward to communicating with their penpals in the New Year via Teams and by writing new letters back and forth.

The girls football team had a busy end to their Autumn term fixtures with three games in a week.

The first game was at home to Mandeville. Both teams created chances but no one was able to break the deadlock and the game finished 0-0.

Next, it was an away match against Alban City. Prae Wood had an excellent first half with goals from Imogen (2) and Victoria but let their 3-1 half time lead slip away during the second half when their legs seemed to run out of energy. The final score was 3-3.

The final game was at Samuel Ryder under the floodlights. Prae Wood dominated the first half with goals from Lyla (2), Imogen and Victoria. Goal keeper, Daisy, who had hardly touched the ball in the first half saw a little more of the action in the second half with Samuel Ryder scoring a goal. Flo added to the Prae Wood total with the game finishing 5-1 to Prae Wood.

Well done to Lyla who was voted Player of the Match in all three games.

The league will resume after Christmas with the team playing the reverse fixture against the four teams in their division as well as their cup fixture against Garden Fields.

Last Friday, the Prae Wood Bike bus (organised and run by parent volunteers Mr Kent, Mr Witter and Mr Blank) took the first journey in to school. 12 children joined, with their supporting adults, to cover the route to school (up to 1.3 miles, depending where joining!)

It was a brilliant start to this 'parent pedal power' initiative, with music and singing along the way and everyone arriving at school full of energy and super-excited for the next one! Mr Kent told us that he is hopeful of doubling the turn out for the next event, planned for Friday 19th December and with a Christmas theme.

If you would like to know more about how you can join with your child and support the route to school by bicycle, you can use the following link to find out more: The Prae Wood Bike Bus

Our KS2 pupils gathered together to record a version of Mrs Welland's lovely Christmas song, 'Words of Christmas' as a special surprise for her! She rewrote the words of our school song, with a festive twist.
