On Friday 25th January the St Ambrose School Choir went to Birmingham Genting Arena for the Young Voices Concert. There were 18 of them but almost 7,000 children and teachers altogether! They sang lots of songs, did dances and also got to see professional singers and dancers perform.

Well done to everyone who received a certificate this week. The next Celebration Assembly will be Monday 4th February.

The Junior SVP will be collecting tins or packets of food every Friday which will be donated to Kidderminster Food Bank. Please hand any contributions you leave each week to your child's class teacher. Thank you for your generous support for this worthy cause.

Reception children will be celebrating the Chinese New Year on Tuesday 5th February. They will be having a party in the afternoon tasting Chinese food. Please let Miss Brewer know of any allergies. Thank you.

We are pleased to announce a Craft Club will be running on Friday 8th February from 3:10pm until 4:10pm. We still have 5 places left for this club so if you would like your child to attend please contact the school office. We hope that the children will really enjoy themselves. Should you wish to stay and have a seat in the back please feel free however, you don't have to. Children can come straight from their class to the school hall where we will begin at 3:10pm. If we find the Craft Club to be successful we will take this forward as a regular club in the future. Thank you as always on behalf of the PTA and we look forward to seeing your children on Friday 8th February.

Year 5 will be holding a 'Bake Off' Competition on Friday 1st March for KS1 and KS2. The aim is to raise money for the charity, Shelter, who look after the homeless. Judging will be held on the day and there will be prizes for the most creative cake. Join us after school for coffee and cake where the cakes will then be auctioned off.

WELL DONE YEAR 4 !!!

Good attendance is very important to us here at St Ambrose Catholic Primary School and we are working hard to make sure that all children attend school as often as possible. Our school target is 96%. We understand that children cannot help being ill, but we would urge parents to do their best to ensure that medical and dental appointments are made for outside of school hours. Below is a table highlighting how time off affects a child's learning:

Please contact the school office if you would like to come to a drop in session. Also remember appointments on a 1-1 basis can be arranged with Mrs Price - this can also be done via the School Office.

Please can all parents/carers check that their child has not brought home a coat that doesn't belong to them. One of our Year 5 boys is missing his warm, black coat and his name is clearly marked in it and we would be grateful if it could be returned to school next week. Thank you.

Class Catering have kindly asked that any lunch orders are ordered in advance and not on the day that a lunch is required. Many thanks.

PLEASE CAN WE ASK THAT YOU DO NOT USE THE CAR PARK AT DROP OFF AND PICK UP TIMES AS IT IS DANGEROUS AT THESE BUSY TIMES.

(All meetings will take place at 6.30pm in the School Hall)

Best wishes,

Mrs Stewart.

We have places available in Reception, Year 3 & Year 5. If you know of anyone who would be interested please refer them to the school office in the first instance. Many thanks.

Please see attached the rota for Altar Serving. Thank you.
