I am publishing my blog a day early this week as I am on a
course tomorrow. I will still be looking at my email if you need to contact me
but Mr Gradwell will be in school and will be available for you if feel you
need to talk to someone in authority about any issues.
I am afraid that I need to have a little moan. As always we
have been finding a lots of items of clothing on the playground and field which
have been left behind by the children. However, we cannot return many of them
back to their rightful owner because they do not have the child’s name in. I do
feel that I am like a stuck record but I cannot emphasize how important it is
for the children’s uniform to be clearly labelled with their names. I have a
lot of parents complaining about how many items of uniform their children have
lost but if it does not contain their name, we cannot return it to them. If you
have not done so, please label all items of your child’s uniform over the
weekend.
Next week we are holding our Harvest Coffee morning. This
year, due to the restrictions caused by the pandemic we are providing all the
refreshments but we still ask that you give generously to our designated
charity which is Breast Cancer. I have chosen this because one of our members
of staff has been treated for this during this last year and thankfully they
are on the road to recovery. As I explained in my newsletter you come to the
Harvest Festival at your allocated time and your child can join you for some
refreshments. If you have more than one child, you can come have all your
children join you at the best time for you. The children will be entertaining
you with some harvest/food songs that they have been learning in music. The
allocated times for the different sessions are listed below:
9.30 – 10.00am – Years 1 & 2
10.00 -10.30am – Nursery & Reception
10.30 -11.00am – Years 5 & 6
11.00 – 11.30am – Years 3 & 4
You will all probably have noticed that the weather has
definitely turned cooler. I have therefore been surprised that many children
are coming to school without a coat. Even if they travel to school by car
please make sure that your child starts bringing a coat into school with them
so they do not have to freeze outside. Even if they do not use it is better to
be safe than sorry.
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and I look forward to
seeing many of you at the Harvest Coffee Morning next Friday.
