Calendar

Your child has been given a letter explaining what they will need to bring in next week for the calendar photos.  We are hoping to take all of the photos by the end of the day on Wednesday, providing that all of the children and staff involved in a particular month are present!  As explained in the letter, it would be helpful if children could leave their clothes in school, until their photo has been taken.

Parents’ Evening – Booking and No Clubs

If you have not already made an appointment to meet with your child’s class teacher/s,  please can you do so before next Friday when the booking system closes.

There will be no after-school clubs on those two evenings (21st and 22nd October.)

Helicopter Visit

We are all set for the forthcoming helicopter visit next Wednesday.  You are more than welcome to pop into School during the morning but please remember there will be very limited parking available at school.  Please can you use the Village Hall car park and not park on Bicton lane which can cause hazards to motorists and pedestrians.

Class 2 Parents Lunch

We are looking forward to parents and/or grandparents joining Class 2 for lunch next week from Tuesday to Friday.  You can order and pay for a school lunch at the Office, if you have not already done so.

Bags2School

Thank you for the bags of clothing etc. that have been brought into school so far.  The bags will be collected on October 21st.

Letters home this week:

• Music tuition fees
• Calendar photos
• Class 5 Celebration Assembly ‘outfits’

Many thanks.

Mrs Johnson

Dear Parent / Guardian,

This autumn Flora and Stork, in partnership with Tesco, are running an amazing scheme called Tubs4Tablets which aims to help our school bring cutting edge technology into the classroom.

The scheme gives primary and middle schools in Great Britain the opportunity to collect tokens from special tubs of Flora and Stork on sale at Tesco from early October and exchange them for FREE touch screen tablets!

We need to collect as many tokens as possible, these can be found on promotional 500g tubs of Flora Original, Light and Buttery and Stork (subject to availability).
Hand us your tokens… Just 50 tokens will get our school one brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0” Wi-Fi 8GB tablet so help us to claim as many as we can.

Many Thanks.

Year 6 Bikeability

Just a reminder to Year 6 children that they need to bring their bikes and helmets to school on Wednesday for their first Bikeability session.  Children may leave their bikes and helmets at school overnight, if they wish, for Thursday and Friday; their bikes need to be chained up in the bike racks overnight or can be left in the corridor outside Class 5 .  If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to speak to Mrs Johnson or Mrs Jones.

Sickness

If your child has suffered from vomiting or diarrhoea, please could they not return to school until 48 hours after the last ‘episode.’  This is in line with Health Protection Agency guidelines.

School Calendar

We have now received all the reply slips back for the school calendar photographs. Your child/children will be bringing home a letter next week explaining what they will need to bring to school to wear for the photograph with each month having a different theme. This will not require you to purchase anything additional for the photograph.

Parents’ Lunch

Thank you to parents and family members of Class 1 children who found time to join us for lunch last week.  Class 2 are now looking forward to their parents and family members joining them for lunch the week after next.

Helicopter Visit

We are very excited about a forthcoming helicopter visit from RAF Shawbury, as part of Class 5’s topic on WW1.  During the morning of Wednesday 15th October, all classes will spend time looking at the aircraft and no doubt asking lots of questions. Parents and guardians are more than welcome to pop in during the visit but could we please ask adults to park at the village hall car park and not to park on Bicton Lane; parking spaces will be very limited before school and during that morning as the spaces along the hall/rear side of the school will be ‘out of use.’

Books

Children in each class have now given Mrs Johnson a list of books which they would like School to purchase with the money from FOBs. If there are particular books or authors which your child enjoys reading at home, and you think would be of benefit to the rest of the School, please let Mrs Johnson or the Office know and these can be added to the list.

Hoping you all have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Johnson
