JANUARY 2014 - NEWSLETTER WELCOME BACK
JIHIHJJHHHH A very ‘warm’ welcome back to school to all children and their families. We hope that you have had a refreshing, relaxing and enjoyable Christmas break and are looking forward to the year ahead. On behalf of the staff, I’d like to express our sincere gratitude for your support throughout the autumn term but especially during the last hectic weeks. Your kind words, cards and gifts were also much appreciated. Regarding the end of last term I’d also like to reiterate how fantastic the children were and what a delight it was to see them enjoying and excelling at everything they did. A number of parents have raised concerns about the way that cars are being parked and driven at either end of the school day. Could we please ask all parents/carers/grandparents to be considerate when dropping off/collecting children. The car park, sadly, is not large enough for everyone to have a space. This has resulted in the grass verges being churned up and also people dangerously parking in the bus turning area. So, again, please be considerate of our environment, other motorists and pedestrians – there are other alternatives in the main street. Thank you.

If your child wishes to buy sweets from the tuckshop, please ensure that they have their money with them on the day as ‘loans’ from the office are not always being returned. We are also asking that children (particularly those on the buses) are clear on whether they are staying to watch the film or not.
Our first ‘Wall of Fame’ assembly of 2014 will be on Friday 17th January at 9am. Please ensure that your child has a named pair of Wellington boots in school every day. It’s very wet out there!
