Newsletter 09.12.11

Well done to all of the children who have taken part in Nativity performances and Christmas events this week. You have made us very proud of you and the school. ‘Prickly Hay’ was a wonderful story performed beautifully by Years One and Two. Our EYFS class sang for their parents/carers and the choir excelled at the Rotary Carol Concert at the High St Methodist Church. Thank you to all of the staff for their hard work in ensuring that the children have these marvellous opportunities.

Thank you to the FOHBs for organising a fantastic Christmas Fair last weekend. It was a very successful event and it was lovely to see so many of our families. We greatly appreciate the money that you raise for our school, as well as the support of those who give up their time to help out. Please see the message from FOHBs later in the newsletter.

We have noticed that many of our children are becoming careless with school property and will be working to address this in the new year. Children may return home with payment slips for any item of school equipment that has been misused, lost or damaged. We are encouraging them to be accountable for their actions and to take greater care of their possessions. We hope you will support us with this initiative.

Please remember that we are going to the Pantomime on Tuesday afternoon so all children are bringing a packed lunch but infants will not need to bring in bookbags that day. We will be returning to school at 4pm.

We have had a number of occasions recently when the disabled parking bay has not been accessible. The parent has had to come in and use the school car park. It is essential that nobody parks on the corner opposite the school or disabled bay. The bay is used everyday for a pupil at this school. Please do park considerately.
Last orders for school uniform this term – Tuesday 13th December

FoHBs News
A huge thank you to everyone who helped at last Saturday’s Christmas Fayre. We raised over £2,900 which is a fantastic achievement and wouldn’t be possible without the many donations of time, prizes, bottles and cakes from everyone involved. A particular thank you must go to Helen Snowdon who spent Friday evening transforming the study base into Santa’s grotto, an enormous task which is much appreciated.
THANK YOU AGAIN AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!
