Spring Term Newsletter No 4 Monday 23 January 2012
Dear Parents
Spring Term Open Evenings: 4.00-7.00pm Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd February
Appointment lists will be posted on classroom doors from Tuesday morning onwards. Please sign up for a time which is convenient to you. We hope to see all families represented on these two evenings. Each family will be allocated a ten-minute appointment with their child’s class teacher to discuss their child’s academic progress and behaviour/attitudes since September. Before the appointment parents/carers will be able to look at their child’s work which will be set out in the area immediately outside each classroom.
We have no staff available to supervise a crèche on the evenings and so we hope that most families will organise other child care through family, friends or neighbours. If children have to attend on the evening, they will be expected to sit with parents showing their work and wait outside whilst parents talk to the class teacher. Children will not be allowed to play in our outside areas for safety reasons.
Clearing your wardrobes/cupboards?
The new year is a great time to sort out all of those old clothes your child has grown out of. If you have any school uniform items (especially boys’ trousers) which we could use in our nearly new school uniform shop, please hand then into the school office for us to offer to other families. If your child needs new uniform or PE kit, remember there are some great bargains costing 50p or £1 at our shop in the main school building.
In a previous newsletter we asked if you had any dressing up clothes that your child has outgrown, our four youngest classes would love to have them! We did not get much response so please check again and give them to Year 1 or Reception class teachers.
Finally, any family member’s unwanted clothes or shoes or other bedding/towels are wanted by our charity link “Clothes for a Cause”. Accompanying tonight’s newsletter is a large bag per family for any donations you may have. Our next collection is on the morning of Tuesday 31 January. Please donate anything you can, as it all makes more money for the school and is a great help to communities in the 3rd world. Ask neighbours, family and friends if they have any unwanted items too! If you have nothing to donate this time, please return the unused bag to school as this saves on waste and we get 2p for every bag unused!! If you need extra bags feel free to use any refuse sacks or ask in the school office for more bags.
Foodbank Donations – Thank You!
