There is a very spooky atmosphere in school today as
everyone is dressed as ghosts and ghouls. There are some amazing costumes but
the purpose of the day was for everyone to bring in contributions for the PTA
Christmas Fayre so I would like to thank everyone who has donated an item to
that cause. All of the donations will be put to good use in the fayre and will
help to make the event the big success that it always is. The Christmas Fayre
this year will be on Saturday, December 6th.
Over the week I have met many parents in school because of
the parent consultations and although it was a late night for the teachers last
night from the many positive comments that I have received back all the effort
was worthwhile. At least we now have the half term break to help us regain our
energy ready for the next half term which contains Christmas. Aagh!!
This morning we enjoyed a wonderful assembly from Year 5
based on an alien invasion in the school. Everyone who saw it would agree that
it was an excellent performance and I would like to thank all the children for
all their efforts. Let us also not forget Mrs Richardson, Mrs Reynolds, Mrs Ranzetta
and Mrs Clarke for all their work in co-ordinating the assembly and helping
make it the great success that it was.
You will have seen from my newsletter that Mr James is
leaving us and as you can imagine we are very disappointed because he has fitted
very well into Little Heath life. He is moving on because he has been presented
with a wonderful career opportunity which he cannot turn down. We have
appointed somebody new and when all the necessary paperwork has been completed
we will let you know who they are. They certainly have very big shoes to fill
following in Mr James’ footsteps.
As I also reminded you in my newsletter, when we return
after the half-term holiday, we have the firework display to look forward to.
It is being held on Saturday, 8th
November and the gates for the
event open at 6.00pm. If you have not already ordered tickets, forms to do this
are available from the school office and we look forward to seeing as many of
you there as possible. Everyone who attends comments on what a great event it
is.
All that is left for me to do now is to wish you a lovely
half- term. I hope everyone has a really good break and I look forward to
seeing everyone again on Monday, 3rd
November.
