    Dear Families,

     

    Welcome back to this new half term.  

     

    Gymnastics news
    I’ve had the pleasure of taking six Year 5 girls to a gymnastics competition.  The girls performed amazingly.  I was so proud of their performance with the floor routine and their energy on the vault.  Well done to all of the girls who came overall first out of the schools.  Individually, Ella was awarded silver for her floor routine and bronze for overall individual performance.  Esther was awarded gold for her floor routine, silver for vault and gold for overall individual performance.  Lara was awarded bronze for vault and bronze for her floor routine.  Well done girls!

     

    Hall
    As you know the hall is out of use at the moment.  The children have managed so well with their new routines.

    Just to confirm; any events that were going to take place in the hall are being postponed.

     

    World Book Day
    Next Thursday is World Book Day.  The theme is adventures.  Mrs Hartley has sent out a message about coming dressed up.  Children are to come in clothes which they already have. 

     

    Halle Orchestra
    On Monday. Years 3 and 6 will be going to see the Halle orchestra.  If it’s as good as it was last year, they are in for a treat.

    Thank you to Mrs Elkin for organising this fully funded trip.  Thank you to the PTA for supporting with some of the costs.

     

    Have a lovely weekend everyone.

    Take care and stay safe.

    Dear Families,

     

    Next Tuesday is Safer Internet Day.  The theme is Safe choices linked to Smart Tech.

    Here is a link to the UK Safer Internet Centre for top tips for parents and carers.

     

    Staff and children out of school next week
    Next week, myself, Mrs McConvey and Ms Master will be with our Year 6 children on their week-long residential.  I’m sure the children are getting very excited.  Remember to pack enough socks!

     

    If you need support with anything linked to school, please speak to Mrs Dean or Mrs Hartley.


     

    Dangerous parking / driving outside of school
    Unfortunately, I have been informed of dangerous driving and parking on Abbots Way.  Please can I ask that you do not park on the double yellow lines.  This is illegal.  When families are coming into school and leaving, please do not use the road outside of the main gates to turn your car around in.  This is so dangerous as there are so many people crossing.

    None of us want any accidents due to careless drivers.  Please park and drive safely.

     

    Bump notes
    We do not send bump notes for grazes and non-serious bumps.  They get sent if there has been an injury to the head or if they have had a more serious injury elsewhere on their body.  Sometimes children do not tell us about a bump, in which case we don't complete the forms retrospectively.  If there is a very concerning or serious accident, we will contact a parent.

     

    Monday 23rd February is an INSET day.  School and Small & Tall will be closed.

     

    Have a lovely weekend.

    Take care and stay safe.

    Mrs Wilmer
