Although it can be difficult to return to school after a
holiday we had some good news this week that helped to lift our spirits. Our
girls’ football B team (which consists of the year 4 & 5 girls) won the
Potters Bar ‘Girls Football Tournament’ which is a great thing for them and the
school. We also had an ‘A’ team taking part and even though they did not win
the tournament they did themselves and the school proud – only losing one of
their matches. I would like to congratulate both teams on their performance and
I would like to thank Mr Mills for all his work in training and preparing the
girls for the tournament.
Something that was brought to my attention before the break
was the size of some of the pencil cases that the children are bringing into
school. We do provide the children with the equipment they need for their work
but I do appreciate that some children like to have their own things. However,
if they do bring in pencil cases they should be small enough so they can put
them in their desk drawers. They should also have their names on all of their
items because some children have the same equipment and it is difficult to know
which item belongs to whom if it does not have a name. If children do bring in
their own stationery items from home they are going to have to take
responsibility for looking after it themselves as this is something that the
teachers cannot oversee. We also cannot be responsible for replacing lost
items.
Next week we have a lot going on in school again. On Monday
the photographers are coming back into the school to take pictures of the
sports team . On Thursday we should be having the railway safety talk that we
should have had before half term. Apparently they did not come to us because
they were involved with some follow-up work related to the Manchester bombing. We
are going to have the auditions for ‘Talent Night’ next Friday so if your
children need any props or musical instruments for their act they will need to
have them on that day. We are also taking part in the Primary School Athletics
next week so let us hope that I have lots of successes to talk about in my blog
next week.
Have a great weekend and I will see you all again next week.
