  Fri 26 Oct 2018 Mr P Rose

  Here we are at the end of our first half term and what a busy and enjoyable one it has been.  We have seen so much learning happening throughout the school and have enjoyed workshops, trips, assemblies and much more. Remember in the coming week to continue to read every day, encourage your children to turn off their screens and have some quality family time with you.

   

  Science Week

  When we get back on Monday 5th November our Science Week starts. The children will have a number of exciting activities and learning will have a scientific focus. On Friday 9th November there will be a Science Fair from 2.30pm. You are all invited to come in at that time and explore the school with your child.

   

  PTA News

  Save the date for our Winter Wonderland on Saturday 24th November.

   

  Flu Vaccine (Rec to Yr5)

  Tuesday 6th October - Consent forms need to be returned by the morning of Monday 5th or the vaccines will not be available for your child.

   

  Remembrance Day

  Poppies will be on sale from Monday 5th of November. The children will be making poppies throughout the week which will be displayed on Monday 12th November.

   

  Thank You

  Today we say farewell and thank you to Mrs Kentish who has been a valuable member of our Teaching Assistant Team for a number of years.  We wish her well in her future.

   

  Dinner Money Yr3 to Yr6

  If your child is having a school meal each day untill our Christmas Break the cost is £84.  There are a number of families who continue to order meals without adequate funds on their accounts.  This creates more administration in the form of chasing debts, by sending text and letter reminders as well as telephone calls.  All chasing has an impact on my office staff and uses valuable school funding.  Please could all families ensure that only meals that have been paid for are ordered.  You can make payments 24 hours a day using the School Gateway.

  The Nursery class had their assembly this morning, it was lovely to see so many family members who came along to share their learning.  The children have only been in school seven weeks and it was clear to see that they have already learnt so much.  Throughout the school, displays, books and the children's talk show how hard they are working to make progress.  The teachers will be very pleased to share your child's progress with you at Parents' Consultations next week.

   

  The school was wonderfully represented at a Cross Country event this week.  Well done to those who took part!

   

  Look out for a letter about Science Week which is taking place straight after half term.

  Reminder

  Please check to make sure that your children arrive at school with all the things they will need for the day. PE kits, Football kits, water bottles, book bags are just some of the items that are regularly forgotten.

  Head Lice

  It's that time of the year when the heating goes on and the Head Lice come out to play.  A few cases have been reported around the school.  The only way to win the war against these itchy critters is for all parents to regularly check and treat their child/ren if needed.

  Thursday Yr3 trip to Aldenham Country Park

  Friday Class Assembly Reception at 9am

   

  Harvest

  The children will be celebrating Harvest this Monday at St Mark's Church. Remember this event is only open to those named people whose names were pulled from the draw and have been notified. Please do not turn up if you are not on the list as you will be turned away.  This is due to Health and Safety regulations at the church.

  We are collecting donations of food for the local food bank on Monday. Please check products as it's important that any donations are in date.

   

  PTA

  Thanks to those of you who have volunteered to be class reps. So far two parents from Yr1 and Yr2 have come forward and one parent from Yr3. As mentioned previously this is a communication role whereby the parents communicate to each other what's happening and where volunteers are needed to assist in future events.  By pulling together the PTA can raise valuable funds for the children.

   

  Parking

  There are a number of our local residents who have raised concerns about parents parking across drives. Please respect our neighbours when you are dropping off and picking up.
