Dear Parents/Friends/Guardians                            31st March 2006

 

This is the last newsletter before Easter. We hope you enjoyed the egg hunts and egg rolling today! Have a restful break and we look forward to seeing you after Easter on the 18th April (19th April for Nursery).

 

Cottage Conversion

We are very pleased with the work on the cottage (I’m thinking of moving in next week!) It is looking lovely and we will start using the Library, cooking room and Crystal room again after Easter. It has increased our facilities with the addition of a toilet and extra rooms we can use for group work!

 

Class Assemblies

The children really enjoy performing their class assemblies to parents and I am sure you enjoy watching them.  However, we would be very grateful if you could keep noise to a minimum during the performance and afterwards when awards are given to children in other classes as the audiences at some assemblies have been noticeably disruptive. 

 

Front Door

After Easter there will be a new entry system into the school.  The outside main doors will remain open/unlocked throughout the day.  The inner doors will be locked with a security pad and only accessible by staff and other codeholders.  If you wish to enter the school during the day, the office staff will be pleased to help you.

 


Fruit

There will be no fruit delivery on Tuesday 18th April when we return to school so please send in a fruit snack if your child needs something to eat at break time.  Normal deliveries are due to start on Wednesday 19th April but may be late in the day.

 

Footballs

Please note that hard footballs are not to be brought to school – we have had too many injuries due to this. If hard balls are brought to school they will be confiscated. Also, balls are only to be used at break times and lunch times not before or after school – there are too many adults and young children around for this to be safe practice. Balls will also be confiscated at this time.
