Gardening Day Sunday 17th March 2019

FOBS have organised another sociable day in the garden, 10am to 4pm. We would like to welcome families from the School and Nursery community to come along and help to make the Sensory Garden a success for its third year.

We will be adding compost / soil to the raised beds, planting new spreading / trailing plants, planting seeds in the veg plots, plus lots of general weeding, tidying and feeding of the fruit trees in the orchard. No specific experience required.

We provide tools and delicious refreshments during the day.  Please can you bring gardening gloves for yourself and your child / children if possible and wear suitable shoes.

Any donations of plants / seeds / children’s gloves gratefully received.

If you can come along for an hour or a few hours or even the day please leave your name at Reception.

Looking forward to see you.

Catherine Orrell

Social Media Use

We are aware that derogatory comments criticising our school are being posted on Facebook by current and ex parents. This is slander and if this persists we will have no choice but to seek legal advice from the Local Authority.

I am always happy and willing to speak to parents about any concerns and would request that you speak to me in person if you are unhappy about something regarding school.

Momo Challenge – Online Safety

You may be aware of the Momo Challenge which has reportedly been appearing in children’s YouTube videos and we have experienced some of our pupils talking about this today.  Please see a parent guide below which has been published by National Online Safety.  I would like to stress that this is not intended to cause panic or alarm, as there is limited evidence of the scale of Momo, and this is just to make you aware.

1 MOMO-Online-Safety-Guide-for-Parents-FEB-2019

I have spoken to Year 5 and 6 children this morning to reassure them and remind them what to do if they come across anything online which worries them or makes them feel uncomfortable.  I do not intend to speak to younger classes about this specifically, as it may draw unnecessary attention to it, but I have spoken to some younger children individually who have raised concerns with their class teacher about it today.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to me.

Thank you

Reminder – Parent Meetings Wednesday 6th March

Just a reminder that the Parent meetings appointment booking system is open on the website. Lots of parents have already booked appointments to meet with their child’s teachers, but there are still some that are yet to do so. The booking system will close on Monday 4th March.
Appointments are made by visiting the Parents Area of the website and choosing your child’s class to book an appointment.

As the meetings are in the hall, Multi Sports club will not be on. There will be an after school club on for all children until 4:30pm in Class 1.

Just a reminder that you may find this information from the NSPCC useful which details social networking sites that children might use and the risks associated with each.

Half-term News

‘Feel the Love for Harry Banks’

Thank you to everyone who went along to support the charity fundraiser ‘Feel the Love for Harry Banks’ on Sunday at Severn Social.  As many of you will be aware, Harry is Miss France’s cousin and it was fantastic to see so many parents and families there, not just parents of children in the choir, but other families who went along to support the event.

The choir sounded amazing and many people stayed until tea-time to watch Miss France perform with her band The Weekenders.  I haven’t heard yet how much they raised on Sunday but the auction alone raised £2,000 which I know Harry’s family were completely blown away by.

We will be holding a non-uniform day in the next few weeks to raise further funds for Harry’s treatment and if you wish to find out more information about Harry and his condition, please visit: www.madaboutharry.org

Valentine’s Disco 

Thank you to everyone who came along to the Valentine’s disco and especially to the FOBS mums and other adults for all their hard work in organising the event. It raised an incredible £405!

World Book Day – Thursday 7th March

 

World Book Day is almost upon us and we would love all children and staff to come to school or nursery dressed as a book character of their choice.  We can’t wait to see everyone’s outfits! Next week, children will be given a £1 World Book Day voucher to spend at a range of retailers including W H Smith and Waterstones.

Enjoy the rest of half term.

FOBS will be very grateful for any cake donations for the Valentine’s Disco tomorrow. Donations can be left in Reception.

They are also hoping to do a Tombola, so any unwanted Christmas gifts would be gratefully received.

We look forward to seeing you all there and thank you again for your continued support.

Welcome back

We hope you all had a good break over Christmas and New Year.

Christmas raffle

Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets for our Christmas raffle. We raised a fantastic £358 which will be put towards new literacy resources.

School uniform

Just a reminder that children are not allowed to wear trainers for school. If you have any questions regarding our uniform expectations, please do not hesitate to speak to me. Thank you

PE kit

Children are unlikely to be doing PE the first day back but        it is helpful if children can have their kit in school all week to allow for any changes to the normal PE timetable.

Medication

Please can children bring in any prescribed medication that was taken home over Christmas.

Thank you
