Dear Parents/Carers,
INSET Day - School Closed
Our last INSET (staff training day) has now been confirmed as Tuesday 2nd January 2018. This means that all days have been confirmed and are in the school calendar.
Books
This week children have brought home a leaflet from Scholastic Books. If you would like to buy any books, please hand the order form in to the office by Friday 24th November. Exact money with your order please, no cheques!
Internet Safety Session for Parents
A big thank you to the parents who attended the session yesterday, led by Miss Letherby.
We will be re-running the same information session again focusing on internet safety on Friday 1st December at 9am.
The parents who attended were interested in a follow up session focusing on cyber-bullying. We will be running this session next term.
Matthew Tree Project
Just a reminder that we are continuing to collect for the Matthew Tree Project. There is a crate in the school reception area for your donations. Thank you.
Languages
We would like to celebrate all the different languages which are spoken by our families. If you or your children speak a language other than English, please write out or type up the following greeting and hand it in to the office: ‘Welcome to our school’.
We will be making a display of the greeting in as many languages as you send us! Thank you.
Bike Donation
Do you have a quality used bike lying around at home that you no longer require? We are looking for any donations of bikes for children so that we can keep them in school and use them when we have cycle training. Thanks!
Maths Information Session for Parents
Following feedback from parents’ evening, we will be holding a parents’ information meeting introducing parents to how we teach maths in school. This short session, led with Mr Searle will be on Thursday 30th November - 3.15-4pm. Children of parents attending, can stay in Chill Time Klub for free.
