Reminders…
Christmas Cards
It is that time of year again! Our Christmas card post box is set up in the hall ready to receive cards. These will be collected and sorted by school council and delivered to classes. If your child would like to send cards to children in school using our post box, please help them to clearly write names and the class (Acorn, Oak, Palm, Cedar) on the envelopes. (This helps with confusion across school when there are multiple children with the same name.)
Sharing Celebration Worship
Our next sharing celebration for parents will be just before February half term. If your child has anything they would like to celebrate over the coming weeks and leading up to this time, please ensure these come into school for sharing in class. This will then automatically be added to the list for the sharing worship. This will help us manage the amount things to share on the day and plan ahead for this.
Found Property
If anyone has lost a delicate gold coloured chain with a small pendant which was found in school on Thursday evening, please contact the school office.
Netball Super Cup
Payment for tickets and/or transport for the netball super cup visit in March next year have been loaded onto Parent Pay and are now due. Thank you to those parents who have already made payment.
Parent help - Postcards
As part of Geography and helping the children understand place and locational knowledge could I ask that if any parents or relatives are visiting places of interest or travelling to other destinations on day trips or on holidays that they pick up a postcard. They can either send to school by post or send the postcard with their child on return to school. We can then, together as a class, find, locate and investigate locations around the world. I am sure they will be eager to learn about who has been where and this will enthuse and encourage them to further their skills in using world maps, atlases and globes.
