NON UNIFORM DAY Thursday 26th September 2024

We are planning a Non Uniform for Thursday 26th September!  We ask for a donation of £1 (or whatever you can afford) per child for this, however, there is no obligation to pay the £1.

Reminder:  No football strips/track suits, etc!

WHERE DOES THIS MONEY GO?  I just received a quote for the repair of the soft surface under our Playground Trim Trails which are beginning to come away due to wear and tear.  This is sitting at £1700… so every penny we can raise will be put to good use!  We cannot wait to get this fixed for safety reasons, so I will need to proceed.  If you would like to donate more than £1, we will put this towards the playground repair.  Thank you in advance for your support.

DYNAMIC DRINKS CHALLENGE

Our P1 – P7 children will all take in an exciting Enterprising Schools Challenge throughout the day tomorrow (Thursday 26th).  This is a great way to develop our skills across the curriculum!  Look out for some photos and samples coming your way.

HOLIDAY WEEKEND

Friday 27th and Monday 30th September are both holidays.  Children should return to school on Tuesday 1st October.

PARENTS’ NIGHT REMINDER

Parents’ Night takes place on Thursday 10th October 2024.  The booking system for this has been open for some time now.  Please make the effort to book an appointment and come along.

CYCLING/SCOOTING TO SCHOOL

Lots of our children cycle or scoot to school.  Almost none of them wear a helmet.  Please consider this and perhaps encourage the wearing of a helmet.  Also remind your child that:

• They are not permitted to cycle in the school grounds, particularly at busy times.  Children should dismount!
• Bikes and scooters should be placed in the Bike Shelter in our Infant Playground.  They should not be taking up spaces in the rack at Laburnum Family Learning Centre.  Those spaces are for the Nursery children.

NEWSLETTER

So far this term, we have been sending you information via the school texting system and website.  We hope that this has kept you up to date.  A newsletter will be issued next week with lots of information for the coming term.  This will include dates and times of events as well as other information which you should find helpful!

OCTOBER HOLIDAY

The October Holiday will be from Monday 14th October to Friday 18th October.  School will resume on Monday 21st October.
