Sponsored event

I mentioned last week that we are holding a special event on Friday 5^th March here at school. The children can wear non-uniform that day with an animal theme (if you wish). In the morning they will take part in a fun-event involving laps of the field or playground in their non-uniform and will be able to raise funds for how long or how many laps they do. In the afternoon we will organise a special event for the children to enjoy. In the meantime, please can you encourage your child/ren to get as many sponsors as they can so that we can raise money for sporting and fitness events for them while at school – I will remind them NOT to approach strangers. We hope that this will be a great success and a lot of fun for the children too. Good luck with getting sponsors! We will count up to see which class raises the highest total.

Parents’ Evening – invitations

Class teachers will have written to those parents that they would particularly like to see tomorrow. If you have received a letter please make every effort to attend as there is an urgent matter that needs discussion – if you are unable to come, please contact school and an alternative time will be arranged.

Maternity Leave

Mrs. Godzisz, Literacy Group Teacher, will start her maternity leave today. Her baby is due in a couple of weeks and we wish he well – and look forward to her news. Mrs. Tansell will start work tomorrow taking the groups while Mrs. Godzisz is on leave.

Parking

It’s been a while since I had to remind parents about parking. Some  thoughtless people have begun leaving their cars across residents’ drives preventing them getting out to work. The police will be updated and we hope will monitor the parking. Apologies to the local residents who have been inconvenienced.
