It is nice to sit down and type this after a very active
morning. As you all know it is Sports Relief today and to mark the occasion we
had a ‘Family Mile’ this morning. It was a very enjoyable event and I would
like to thank everyone who took part and made a donation to ‘Sports Relief’ either
with cash or cakes. I would also like to thank Mr Mills for organising the
event and the PTA for serving refreshments.
We also had another treat this morning with the Year 2
Assembly which was about the foods we eat. It was a very enjoyable performance
and what pleased me was that the children enjoyed it as well. As well as all the effort from the children
it would not have been possible without a lot of hard work from the staff and
so I would like to thank Mr Spring, Mrs Wells, Mrs Pittson and Miss Prendergast
for all their efforts in putting the assembly together.
I am afraid I have to have a moan this week because we have
had a little trouble this week with people parking in front of the school again.
Since we started using the cones people have been very good in not parking in
front of the school but just recently we have had a couple of people parking
too close. One person even moved a cone so they could turn around to drive out
so if you need to do this you are parking inappropriately. I have also had a
complaint from a school neighbour that people are blocking access to their
property whilst they are waiting to pick up their child. It is illegal to block
the access to someone’s property and I have told him that if they do it again he
should inform the police. We have the parking
restrictions in place for the safety of the children and I would hate for an
accident to have to occur before everyone starts following them.
Due to the early Easter break next week is a four day week
which I am sure everyone is looking forward to. Before that though there is
still plenty happening in school. On Monday we have the Mathletics meeting for
all parents in Reception through to Year 4. We have heard very good things
about this programme and the positive impact it can have on children’s
mathematical understanding. We are going to be trialling it for two weeks and
we need your input to let us know how effective it is. The meeting is starting
at 2.40pm. We were due to have a ‘Sharing Assembly’ on Monday but rather than
having some parents coming into school for 2 different events at 2 different
times we decided to postpone the Sharing Assembly until Thursday, 1st
April.
On Wednesday we have the Easter Egg Hunt which has been
organised by the PTA and starts at 3.30pm. I know this is going to be a fun
activity which all the children will enjoy and I hope to see many of you there.
If you have not done so already please make sure you return your participation
form to the PTA box which is found at the main office
As well as these
events some of the classes are also going to be starting their horse riding
activity so with so much going on it is good that we have a short week so we
can have a long weekend to rest. Enjoy your weekend and I look forward to
seeing you all again next week.
