Newsletter No 12

Dear Parents,

I hope you all have an enjoyable and restful half term. School reopens on Monday 28th February. I will be absent from school from March 1st as I am having an operation on my foot. Mrs Mason will take my place. I am sure you will all give her your support.

School Photos
On Tuesday 1st March, the school photographer will be visiting. All children will have individual photographs taken. If you wish your children to have their photo with a brother or sister either in school or from pre- school, please complete the attached slip and come to the hall at 8.40 am. Thank you.

E-Safety Workshop
On Wednesday March 2nd, Mrs Strout and Mrs Seager will be in school at 2.30 to talk to parents about E-Safety. The internet has grown rapidly in the last few years and they will be able to give you a few tips to keep your children and family safe. Please come along, everyone is welcome. I have ordered a CD for every family which also gives good advice. Please find time to watch it.

Family Learning Workshop
We have had a good response to our Family Learning Workshop. Don’t forget the taster session is on Friday 4th March at 1 o’clock.

Year 1/2 Clubs

Football and Cheerleading Club will continue after half term. All children who were on the waiting lists will be able to take part. Children who have taken part in both clubs, will be asked to attend just football on Tuesdays to allow the other children to participate.

Shed
We have a small shed for the Reception classes to store outdoor play equipment in. Would anyone be kind enough to erect it for us? The shed came from last year’s Morrison tokens.

Homework
This week the teachers have been busy assessing the children’s progress. The teachers and children have been working extremely hard and so there will be no formal homework set this week. Please do read with your child and if you have the internet, they can access Mathletics.

Best wishes
