Colour Run Arrangements

by

Our Colour Run is on Friday 7th June at the School Field. The children will practise before-hand and then parents are invited to join in with their children as follows:

Class 4 (+ parents) will run at 2:05

Class 3 (+ parents) will run at 2:20

Class 1 and 2 (+ parents) will run at 2:35

Please can children come to school on Friday in the kit they wish to take part in. The organisers re-iterated the need for old clothes and how effective it looks in a plain white t-shirt. If you have any old plain white t-shirts you could donate, we would really appreciate it. If you need a plain t-shirt, please get in touch with Mrs Blenkiron.

You are welcome to take your child(ren) home at the end of the event (approximately 2:55) and we will dismiss them from the top field. At the end of the event, we will sit the children in their class areas and school staff must hand the children over to their adult. If you are unable to attend, children will be taken back to school and dismissed at the end of the school day at 3:15 as usual.

Parents are invited to bring camping chairs and picnic blankets along to sit at the side to watch.

We are making this a sponsored event to raise money for the Team Solan Connor Fawcett Cancer Trust. Mark Solan will be joining us during the course of the afternoon and following this up with an assembly to tell the children about their work.

Please can all children bring a water bottle. In case of sunny weather, can children bring sun cream to school or put a long-lasting cream on in the morning.

If the weather forecast is poor, we will let you know on the morning if the event will be cancelled.

Any questions, do not hesitate to get in touch,

Kind regards,

Miss Dodds

Wrap Around Care

by

Dear Parents,

Some families have approached me asking about after school wrap around care. I have looked into this and have a meeting next week with the relevant people from the County Council. With enough uptake, this may be viable. I put a consultation letter out earlier in the week. If you did not receive it, please ask. I really want to do all I can to support our families so appreciate your feedback and thoughts to help make this work in our school.

Please could you return your letters by Monday 29th January so I can start to get an indication of numbers.

Kind regards,

Miss Dodds

Anti-bullying week 2023

by

The theme of Anti-bullying week is ‘Make a Noise About Bullying’.

The children have completed assemblies and discussions in class about bullying. Mrs King has set the children the challenge of making a poster to encourage kind behaviour and promote good choices.

In-line with the theme of ‘Make a Noise About Bullying,’ we have reminded the children to speak up if they are unhappy about anything at school and speak to trusted adults.

To finish the theme week, we ask that everyone comes to school tomorrow wearing odd socks to celebrate that everyone is different and unique.

Children in Need 2023

by

Tomorrow (Friday 17th November) is Children in Need day. As Friday is PE day for some classes, we will not be asking children to dress up because some of them will need to be in their PE kits. However, all children are welcome to wear any Children in Need accessories they may have.
