I think we can all agree that winter has definitely arrived
this week. I do not think that it has been this cold for years! What has amazed
me is that some of the children think that they can dress like it is summer and
they will be okay. Can you please ensure that all your children have additional
clothing to wear in PE (such as a tracksuit) and that they come to school with
a coat. In extreme conditions, if we think it is necessary, we do cut down the
amount of time children spend outside but they will always spend some time in
the playground so they do need some form of outdoor clothing in winter.
Excitement for Christmas is growing in school and this has
accelerated today because everyone is not wearing uniform and have brought in
wine and chocolate for the Christmas Café next Thursday. I would like to thank
everyone for their donations because they all help make our school events
successful. May I also remind you that if you have not sent in your item for
the Christmas hampers that you do by Monday so that the people assembling the
hampers have plenty of time to do so. I know that the PTA are still looking for
help to run the event so if you can spare an hour next Thursday let you class
rep know or put a slip into the PTA box which is in reception.
Unfortunately, I have had a complaint about parking this
week. Apparently, some parents are parking their cars in front of residents’
drives and this is blocking their entry and exit to their properties which is
against the law. If residents inform the police about this the police have the
right to issue parking fines. I have not
had a complaint about parking for a while so l hope that this is just a small
incident that will not occur again.
It is going to get a little warmer over the weekend which
will be nice. However, one of the advantages about it being really cold is that
it kills off a lot of germs which is a good thing as we have had a lot of
illness in school recently. May I take this opportunity to remind you that if
you child is unwell with sickness they need to stay away from school for
48hours after their last bout of sickness. Eg. if your child id sick on a
Tuesday the earliest they should return to school is Thursday. If everyone
follows this process we can prevent the spread of illness in school.
Enjoy your weekend. I hope to see many of you at our
Christmas Café on Thursday which runs from 3.00pm – 6.00pm.
