OCTOBER 2010 - NEWSLETTER KEEPING SAFE JIHIHJJHHHH
There is currently a ‘temporary’ boiler situated on the top playground near the gazebo. This is due to our current boiler being condemned and the Local Authority needing to provide a replacement to enable us to heat the school as winter approaches. The boiler will be completely fenced off over the next few days, but until then the top playground will be out of use. Another safety issue which has come to light recently is pedestrians moving between the school and the car park. Please could you use the footpath around the side of the school to prevent a possible accident in the bus turning area. Thank you.
PTFA AUCTION Please help us to support your school for your children with our upcoming auction at the village hall on Saturday 16th October at 7.30pm. This event is for all of you adults out there associated with your school. Tickets are available from the school office and we do require definite numbers to enable us to organise the catering requirements. Further details are available on the many posters around the school site. We really hope to see you there!
IPSWICH TOWN TICKETS If you would like to order discounted tickets (£20 adults, £3 children) for the match against Coventry City on Saturday 16th October, please return the booking slip by the end of this week (8th October)
BLUE CLASS GUITARS Children in Blue Class are currently receiving one hour’s guitar tuition per week through the ‘Wider Opportunities’ scheme. Once the children have developed their basic skills, they will be allowed to take a guitar home – for which an agreement will need to be signed – to continue to practise.
CAR PARK CONGESTION – REMINDER On Thursday 7th October (tomorrow) the school is hosting training sessions for Teaching Assistants in our pyramid of schools. It is highly likely that the car park will be congested, particularly at the end of the school day. Regarding the car park, please could you be considerate towards others when parking. At times it is inevitable that we may block others in. If this is the case, please could you return to your cars promptly to enable others to get out. Thank you.
PARENTS’ EVENINGS Please sign up for a slot for our autumn term parents’ evenings on Tuesday 19th & Wednesday 20th October.
