Youth Club Pantomime
Well done to all those children who took part in the pantomime last night. They did a brilliant job and everyone really enjoyed it. A big thank you to those people who helped.

The food hamper (pink ticket 194) and the chocolate hamper (pink ticket 172) are still unclaimed - please check your raffle tickets. If these are not claimed by next week they will be raffled again.

Board Games Club
Mrs. Riaz is starting a ‘Board Games Club’ after Christmas on a Thursday lunchtime. If you are interested please see Mrs. Riaz. If anyone has a board game they would like to bring into school for the Club, please see Mrs. Riaz.

Calendars
All the calendars have now been given out to children – as this is the first time we have done this, we hope you like it.

Christingle
Your child will have been given a Christingle money box. Please fill with any loose change you can spare which will be very much appreciated – all proceeds will go to the Children’s Society.

Food Hamper
We have had a fantastic food hamper donated to school to raffle from Co-operative Retail through one of our parents. Tickets are 30p each which you can buy from the school office. The draw will take place the last week of school. All money raised will go towards buying some new books for the library.

Years 1 & 2 (KS1) Performance
This year’s performance is on Wednesday 8 December at 2pm and Thursday 9 December at 6pm. Unfortunately no small children will be allowed at the evening performance. There is an allocation of 2 tickets per child.
The children will be doing their dress rehearsal for KS2 on Tuesday.

Pantomime
On Monday 6 December, school are going to see Sleeping Beauty at The Oldham Coliseum. We will be leaving school at 9.30am and returning at 1pm when the children will have their lunch.

Monday night youth club
On Monday 6th December is the Youth Club’s Christmas ‘Do’ at Strike Ten. Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Burtenshaw will transport all children to the bowling but children will need picking up from bowling at 6.15pm. If anyone has any concerns, please see Mrs. Taylor. Please can all money for this trip be paid by this Friday at the latest.

Retirement
Mrs. Cheetham, our head lunchtime supervisor, is retiring at Christmas after over 34 years service at St. Edward’s. We are having a collection if anyone would like to make a donation. Thank you.

Senior Citizens/Grandparents
On Thursday 9 December at 2pm, we are asking senior citizens in the community and any of the children’s grandparents if they would like to come to school to watch a performance by the children. We will be singing Christmas carols, holding a raffle and they will be given a mince pie and a drink. All welcome!
Please could you ring school to let us know if you wish to come (tel: 631755)

Sports Clubs
There will be no after school sports clubs until the New Year.

Reception Nativity
This year’s Reception Nativity is on Tuesday 14tDecember at 2pm.
Tickets are limited to 2 per family. Young children are allowed but will count as one of your places – we can only hold 100 people in the hall – this is a health and safety issue – please fill in the slip overleaf to order your tickets.

Text Messaging Service
We are continuing to use our text messaging service. In some cases we will be sending text messages to parents rather than sending letters so it is extremely important that you ensure you keep school up-to-date with any change in mobile phone numbers. Please ensure all new contact forms are returned to school as soon as possible.
