St Joseph's PS Whitburn

We have been learning:

• about ‘The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark’
• to add numbers to 10 using a number-line
• to work together with our friends to make things

The deadline for photograph orders is on Friday 7th September. Please make sure all orders are placed and paid for by this time.

 

Flu vaccination letters should also be returned by Friday. We would like as many pupils as possible to receive this nasal spray, as it helps to improve the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Thank you.

Autumn Newsletter

We have been learning:

• to write about what we can see in a picture
• to sing a new song called ‘Hey You’
• about the sounds ‘th’, ‘ch’, ‘sh’ and ‘ng’

Please be considerate of school neighbours when dropping off or picking up children. We have had some complaints about inconsiderate parking and people either dropping rubbish or using people’s bins – at times contaminating their recycling, resulting in bins not being emptied or fines being received.

We ask that you do not park in residents parking areas, especially disabled parking bays. The school car parks should not be used as drop-off spaces and are not for parent parking, as this can cause a danger to children and others using these areas. Please also take any rubbish home with you to dispose of.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Dear Parent/Carer,

School photographs should be ordered and paid for by September the 7th.  Class group photographs will be taken on Friday the 31st of August.  Please ensure pupils are in full school uniform including shirt and tie for these photographs.

 

The dining room staff have informed me of a number of pupils bringing Nutella and peanut products for snack and lunch.  We have pupils with peanut allergies and cannot have products containing nuts in school.  Thank you for your co-operation.

I just wanted to thank you all for your kindness and generosity on Friday. I was so touched; I will treasure my memory book and all of my gifts. Thank you so much for thinking of me.

It has been a privilege and a joy to teach your children. They are very special to me and always will be; I will miss them terribly. I will be back to visit though!

I will look back fondly on my time at St. Joseph’s and remember how lucky I was to have such a wonderful class. Thank you for all your support and encouragement.

I hope you all have a lovely summer.

Love from,

Miss McLachlan
