Autumn Term Newsletter No. 12
Dear Parents/Carers,
We were really delighted with the turnout
at the Christmas Fair this week. We hope
you enjoyed the mix of activities, stalls,
foods and games. At the time of writing
the total is over £1600, which already
exceeds last years grand total. The
teachers work hard to create interesting
products and games. I want to say a huge
thank you to all those involved in making
the fair a success!
The school is beginning to look festive as
we approach Advent which marks the
start of the countdown to Christmas, with
children’s work being shown on display
around the school. The hoops in the halls
are really lovely this year – well done to
the children and their teachers on these!
In the coming weeks, we will also start
our Christmas Raffle ticket sales. Watch
out for a separate flyer in your child’s
book bag.
Apologies for the dates being missed off
the edge of last weeks newsletter.
Please remember to look at our website
for latest events and for copies of our
newsletters. Class newsletters are also
available on the ‘Children’ section, under
‘Year Group Pages’ which will celebrate
work and achievements as well as inform
you of the coming curriculum.
Mrs Featherstone

Unwell Children
We have had several children this week that have had
to be sent home within an hour of being at school due
to illness. It is important for your child to attend school
regularly, however if they are clearly unwell, would you
please notify the school as soon as possible of their
absence, until they are fit and well again.
We would also like to remind parents of the
importance of up to date contact numbers. On several
occasions this week alone, we have been unable to
contact parent/carers to inform them of their child's
illness in school and as you can appreciate this is very
distressing for the child and staff members alike.
Therefore, please inform our Office staff of any recent
changes to contact details and whenever possible as a
back-up, please give an alternative number.
Christmas Jumper Day – 4th December
We will be raising money for Children in Need and
Spinal Muscular Atrophy when we ask everyone to
wear a Christmas jumper and pay £1. The money raised
will be shared between the 2 charities.
Christmas Lunch – 11th December
A letter has been sent home this week asking you to
decide if you would like your child to have a school
Christmas lunch. There is a meat, vegetarian and halal
option. Please make sure you return the slip back to
the office by 2nd December as the school cook needs to
order the food in advance.
