MORNING DROP OFF
Please ensure that the children are not brought onto school premises before 8.40am
in the mornings. Prior to this we do not have staff available to supervise pupils on the
premises as they are preparing the classrooms for the morning lessons. If there is an
exceptional circumstance where your child does need to be dropped off earlier than
8.40am, this can be accommodated by prior agreement. Thank you for your cooperation.
SCHOOL CROSSINGS – Save our Lollipop Ladies!
A letter has been sent out this week regarding the council’s plans to remove ALL
school crossing patrols. We are a small school but PLEASE don’t allow this to
happen. We NEED our lollipop ladies to keep our children safe! Please
get as many people as you can to write your objections to make our voice heard.
Letters can be brought into to school and given to Mrs Wilson who will send them
to the council in time for the January 15th deadline.
SCHOOL CALENDARS
The St Matthew’s school calendar is on sale at the school office. The cost is £5.00. The calendar
contains a picture of the children in their relative month of birth, as well as the academic calendar
including all inset days. All of the proceeds from the calendar go straight back to provide
resources for the children. Please support us.
CHRISTMAS DINNER
We will be having our Christmas dinner on Tuesday 16th December. Please remember that
next week’s dinner money will be £12.20 (as the Christmas dinner is £3.00)
CHRISTINGLE SERVICE
There will be a Christingle Service on Monday 22nd December at 4.30pm at St Francis
Church. Everyone is welcome.
KEY STAGE 2 CHRISTMAS CAROL CONCERT
Our Key stage 2 Christmas concert is being held on Friday 19th December at St Francis
Church. The concert will begin at 9.30am. Tickets are not required as there is more than
enough space to accommodate everyone. We will be selling raffle tickets which will be
being drawn at the end of the performance. The school calendars will also be on sale at
£5.00 each. Everyone is welcome to join in our celebration. We will be walking the children up to St Francis
after registration, the children will be back well in time for lunch.
FRENCH CLUB
Mademoiselle Fanion visited the school last week to give the children a taster session of the new
French club that will be starting after Christmas. If your child would like to take part in the French
Club, please complete and return the forms by Friday 12th December.
GUINEA PIGS
If anyone could help us out and give the guinea pigs a home over the weekends and Christmas,
please contact Mrs Wilson.
