• Comic Relief

  Tue 24 Feb 2015

  We are getting ready for this year's fundraising.  The children can come in non-school uniform on Friday 13th March and if they can wear something red, that would be great!  A red hairband, red socks etc. would be just fine...as long as everyone is dressed in an outfit suitable for a day in school!  There will be cake sale with all donations gratefully received, a red nose orienteering hunt and lots, lots more.

   

  Thank you as ever in anticipation of your amazing support.

  

• 'Get Safe for Secondary'

  Sun 15 Feb 2015

  ‘GET SAFE FOR SECONDARY’: Tuesday 3rd March at the Winter Gardens, Margate.

  This event is made up of two parts and we will be taking our Year 6 pupils. Part 1 is to provide factual information, advice and awareness to our pupils in preparation for their increased independence when making their transition to Secondary.  

  They will leave the morning's event having gained knowledge on topics such as:

  Road Safety

  Internet Safety

  Stranger Danger

  Basic First Aid

  Fie Safety & Awareness

  Anti-Social Behaviour

  Basic Drugs & Smoking Awareness

  Effects of shop lifting

  Water Safety

  The list above will provide them with good solid factual information and in turn will build their confidence to make informed choices independently. It will also allow them to reflect and take responsibility for their own behaviour and the effect certain behaviours could have in the local community.

   

  Part 2 will be an opportunity for our pupils to meet Youth Groups and other outside activity organisations to encourage them to engage in an activity prior to starting secondary school in the hope this will carry on through their teenage years, ideally will also prevent a number of young people becoming involved in criminal activity such as anti-social behaviour and will increase their self-confidence and achievement.

• Half term holiday club JUNE

  Thu 12 Feb 2015

  Dear Parents and Carers,

   

  We are very pleased to let you know that we are running a holiday club to provide childcare for children in Reception to Year 6 for the week commencing 1^st June.  This is a trial, to see what uptake is like for school holiday periods and is part of our commitment to support all families, particularly working families.

   

  The holiday club will be based in the nursery building and will be run by the same staff as Extended Day. Weather permitting it is intended that the children will visit the park and secret gardens, library and local places of interest. Our usual extended day facilities including arts and craft, access to computers and outside activities will also be available.

   

  Breakfast and a hot tea will be provided, but it will be necessary for children attending all day to bring a packed lunch with them. This provision will cost £13 per session running from 8am to 1pm and 1pm to 6pm or £24 for the whole day. There will be no extra costs for offsite trips and a timetable of planned activities will be available nearer the time.

   

  Please complete a booking form available from the office if your child is not already registered with the Extended Day team.  Payment is not required at this time, but all sessions must be paid in full prior to attending in June.

   

  If you would like to discuss any aspect of this, please do not hesitate to speak to Mrs Watts, our Extended Day leader.

   

  A letter will be sent home after half term which will include the booking form.

  National Storytelling Week

  We have had an amazing week of activities, all promoting reading and writing.  So many parents came in to share books with their children that we had to use every corner of the school!  The School Council organised and ran the most successful book swap ever.
