Dear Parents/Friends/Guardians 20th
May 2005 Request for help Last year, the parents of the Year 2 children
bought a weathervane for the school to put on the top of the gazebo in the
playground. Unfortunately, we have not
been able to do this to date as we do not have the appropriate
equipment. Can any parent help please
either with providing scaffolding which will enable us to fix the weathervane
(the sloping roof is the problem), or in actually fixing it. We would really appreciate any assistance.
Many thanks! Fantastic book offers With this newsletter are the latest Scholastic Book Club leaflets with
a great selection of books. Please get
your orders in to the School Arts Week You will be receiving a letter next week about our joint Arts week
with the Junior school. During the week beginning 7th June, both
schools will be involved in creative activities, culminating in an exhibition
on 14th and 15th June in the Junior school hall. Part
of the activities will involve children from both schools working with an
artist called Bhajan Hunjan.
Bhajan specialises in printmaking and will be
working with children in developing these skills. Please try to come and have
a look at all of the wonderful work on display! Long Hair Please ensure that children with long hair have their hair tied
back. This reduces the possibility of headlice spreading.
Thank you. Responses to
class parents meeting Car Parking
(again) Please
do not park in the Staff car park! A staff
car was damaged this week and if anybody is seen parking or driving in and
out to turn around, we will be taking details and informing the rest of the
school in the newsletter. A minority
of parents continue to ignore our repeated requests and many people are
concerned for the safety of their children. A car driven by a parent narrowly missed one of
the crocodiles of children walking to school yesterday. The parent was driving out of the Memorial
Hall lower car park at great speed. PLEASE AVOID DRIVING Lunchtime
Toys/Games Children may bring in named skipping ropes, soft balls, light-hoppers,
hoops, Scooby doos, colouring and notebooks for use
at lunchtimes. If any of these activities cause a problem we will review the
situation. Lining Up Please ensure you move well away from the
children when they are in their class lines in the morning as this is causing
a lot of disruption and upset to many of the
children. Particularly could Sapphire
class parents keep well away from the gate as Years 1 and 2 children cannot
get past. This also applies at the end
of the day, when Sapphire children are dismissed. Because there are so many pushchairs and
prams around the gate it is difficult for the children to get to their
parents. Climbing
Frame Please remember that children are not allowed on the climbing frame
before or after school. More accidents
occur at this time than during the school day because of the high numbers of
children using it. Any accidents that
occur before or after school are your responsibility. The children will also be reminded of this
during assembly. Noticeboards Emerald’s noticeboard
is being moved to the front of the building so that it is more accessible for
parents. The other noticeboard outside Sapphire
class will now be a noticeboard for both Sapphire
and Lunchboxes Please ensure that you do not overfill your
children’s lunchboxes as some of them find it difficult to manage to eat
everything before they go out to play.
The midday supervisors obviously encourage the children to eat a
reasonable amount, but there is sometimes too much food. Dates for your Diary 27th May Pearl Class Assembly (after
