St Edward's CE Primary School

St Edwards C of E Primary School

Red Nose Day
The School Council would like to say a big Thank You for supporting this worthy cause. So far we have raised £540 but we still have some crispy biscuits being sold in the KS2 playground in the evenings for 50p.

The Big Pedal
St. Edward’s CE are taking part in this year’s Big Pedal between 7-25 March. This is a 15-stage virtual bike race along Sustrans’ National Cycle Network. We are competing against hundreds of schools around the UK and we need you to help us finish each stage as fast as possible by cycling to school during the race. We would like as many children and parents as possible to cycle to school during this period.

Robinwood
This trip needs to be paid in full by 14 April at the latest. Thank you.

Kingswood
This trip needs to be paid in full by the end of July. Thank you.

Climate Challenge
This week was Climate Challenge Week which was a national event and we have been doing different activities in school to raise awareness of looking after the environment.

Parents Evening
Thank you to those parents who attended the parents meetings on Tuesday. If you were unable to attend, it is important that you see your child’s teacher so please ring school to arrange an alternative appointment.

Castleton Swimming Club
Castleton Swimming Club are running adult sessions for ages 16 and over on Wednesday evenings 8-8.45pm. The cost is £2.50 per lesson. Everyone welcome.

Year 2 Trip
Year 2 children are going on a trip to the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester on Tuesday 29 March.

Dinner Money
Please send dinner money in an envelope with your child’s name and class on. Lunches are now £1.75 per day - £8.75 per week and should be paid on a Monday morning.

School Lunches
There is a copy of the menus on our school portal. Next week we will be on Week 2.

Music Lessons
Music fees for this half term are now due - £16.50 (£2.75 per week). Please pay any outstanding music fees in order for lessons to continue.
The Music Service have informed us that any lessons cancelled through staff illness will be made up before the end of the Easter term and therefore will need to be paid for.

The Big Cookathon 5 April
This is a national event and St. Edward’s is the only school in Rochdale taking part. The idea is to get as many people cooking throughout the day. All the children will be cooking and we would like it if any parents could come in and help, ideally having at least one parent in each class. We will be making Leek and Potato Soup and various breads.

Castleton Children’s Centre
The free ‘Stay and Play Sessions’ are here at St. Edward’s on Wednesday mornings 9.30am-10.30am.

St. Aidan’s Spring Fair
2 April 11am-1pm. Everyone welcome White Elephant, Books, Pants, Homebake, Toys, Tombola and much, much more.
