Spring Term Newsletter No 1 Wednesday 4 January 2012
Dear Parents
Happy New Year: Best wishes to all of our families and we hope 2012 will be a good one for every child in the school. Regular school attendance and reading at home most evenings would be two great new year resolutions for every child!
Winter Weather: We will endeavour to keep the school open to pupils whatever the weather (as long as it is safe to do so). If we have heavy snow, we like the children to play in it on the field so please make sure your child is equipped with a warm coat, hat, gloves and a change of footwear (ideally wellingtons). We will use our school office answer machine & school website to keep parents informed of school closures. You can also listen to the local radio stations to keep yourselves informed.
Recycling Christmas Cards: We can act as a collection point for all this year’s old Christmas cards. Bring your cards to the school foyer during this week and put them in one of the clear plastic sacks provided.
After-school activities for the Spring terms 2012: Once again, the costs to join most of the clubs will be minimal (£2 per child for 10 weekly sessions) allowing all children who are interested to take part. This money is used to pay for all the materials. The age groups and numbers for each club are limited for obvious reasons. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis and children will be expected to attend every week, unless they are absent from school or have informed the club leader in advance that they have another commitment. Please complete the accompanying form to register your child’s interest in joining a club and return the form to your child’s class teacher as quickly as possible. Most clubs will be starting during the week beginning Monday 9 January and will finish during the week ending Friday 30 March. Another new set of clubs will be organised for the summer terms. If any parents or friends have ideas for clubs that they would like to organise and lead, please let me know.
Yours sincerely
Peter Turner
Headteacher
