World Book Day – 1 March

All the children will receive a £1.00 book token which can be exchanged at shops such as WH Smith/Waterstones and other book shops. For World Book Day the children will be enjoying lots of book activities during this week.

Literacy Competition Entries & Dress as a Story Character

Just to remind you that competition entries are to be with Mrs Mitchell by the 1 March. Prizes will be awarded on Friday, 8 March. On this day we would also like to invite all the children to dress up as story characters to join in our World Book Day fun.

We are currently selling our children’s fleece jackets at the reduced price of £10.00 – these can be bought direct from the School Reception and we currently have all sizes available. This price will only be available for current stock.

Buy direct from the School Reception

Class Photographs

The photographer will be in school on Thursday, 7 March from 9.00 a.m. to take photographs of each class. The Photograph Company will use a ‘proof-card’ system. This means you get a proof (small photo) to look at and decide if you want the full size photograph. You can then order what you wish on a ‘cash with order’ basis. This year instead of the usual ‘traditional style’ class photo we have chosen the ‘studio style’.

Will you please make sure that your child has an extra ‘wash and brush up’ and brings a comb or brush into school on THURSDAY, 7 MARCH 2013. If you require more information please contact me in school.

Afternoon Nursery children will be able to have their class photograph taken in the afternoon at 1.00 p.m. on Thursday, 7th March 2013.

Dinner Money/Trip Money Envelopes

We do sell packs of envelopes from the School Reception for all money or cheques that you send into school. These are £1.00 for a pack of 50 – great value!!

Medical Appointments

Could I please remind everyone to book routine dentist and medical appointments during school holidays or out of school hours. There has been a large increase in the number of pupils going out for appointments during school time. I do appreciate the difficulty in setting appointment times for departments such as audiology or speech and language, but wherever possible, please try to book appointments out of school hours to minimise the effect on your child’s education and attendance record.
