Dear Parents

School News

• Our Girl’s Cross-Country Squad ran well in the City Championships last week.  Both A and B teams finished in second place and received silver medals and shields.  Hannah in Year 6 won the ‘B’ race and received a gold medal.
• Parents meetings with teachers commence on Monday 6th February.  You should already have an appointment by now so please contact your child’s class teacher if this is not the case.  On Tuesday afternoon the Year 5 and 6 teachers will be in the large hall and children’s work will be available for parents in the circulation space outside the hall.
• Lost property can be found on a rail in the entrance between 1/2M and 3P classrooms.  Please feel free to check the many items stored there.  Any clothes with names marked on them will be returned, but sadly we have many items with no names.

Scholastic Book Fair is Coming!
The Scholastic book fair will be in school after the spring half term from Monday 27th February until Thursday 1st March.  This event is a ‘buy one, get one free’ opportunity, as a way of saying “Thank you” for supporting us at the September fair.  We raised over £1000.00 for new books during the September book fair.  We will be taking no commission this time – you will!  The spring book fair will run from 8.30 – 8.55 am and 3.35 – 4.15 pm on each day.

We are still in desperate need of helpers to help run the book fair so please complete the form sent out last week or let Ms. Halliday know if you can help.  The book fair will not be able to run without your support.

Safer Internet Day
This will be held on Tuesday 7th February 2012 and we will be promoting safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile internet.

The focus this year is “connecting generations and educating each other” so please do talk to your child about internet safety.

Mothers Day Assembly
This will be performed by Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 on Thursday 15th and Friday 16th March at 2.00 pm.

Due to the high demand we will be staging two performances this year and tickets will be issued.  Hopefully, this will create a more comfortable environment for parents and children alike.

Dental survey of 5 year old children
It is the duty of Primary Care Trusts to plan health services and we would like to know more about dental health to help us.  To do this we look at the teeth of groups of 5 year old children every two years.  Children in Reception and Year 1 who are 5 years of age on Monday 5th March will bring a consent letter home today for you to read and complete.  Please return the form to school as soon as possible.
