Dahlicious Dress Up Day This Friday 30th September, the children are invited to come into school dressed up as a character from any of Roald Dahl’s fantastic stories or simply wear his favourite colour—yellow. This will cost each child £1 donation and all the money raised will go to Roald Dahl’s Children’s Charity which helps raise money for children living with serious illnesses to make their lives a little bit better. We hope you will join in our Dahlicious Dress Up Day!

Congestion in the Playground To ease the congestion in the mornings, we will ring a bell in the mornings at 8.50am, so that parents can stand back to let the children get to their class lines and the teacher.

Secondary Transition for Year 6 pupilsPlease ensure that you make the most of the opportunity to visit the secondary school of your choice on the relevant open days/evening. A full list of dates is printed in the secondary transfer brochure. We shall be holding a transition workshop on Thursday 13th October from 9am-10.30am for all year 6 parents who require assistance in completing their secondary school application forms. Forms can also be completed online by logging on to www.redbridge.gov.uk/eAdmissions. All application forms should be submitted to Lynton House by Friday 21st October 2011.

After School Club The after school clubs have proved very popular again this term and we have aimed to give everyone who requested a place by last Monday’s deadline a place in at least one of the clubs. There continues to be some spaces available in the following clubs and if you would like a place please ask at the main office to be added to the list. Spaces will be given ana first come, first served way!
oCricket (Years 4,5 and 6) Monday
oFootball skills (Years 3,4 and 5)

After half term we will be starting some further clubs such as the cookery club for Reception and we will send out further information closer to half term.

Parent Governor Vacancy We have vacancies for parent governors. All parents are eligible to apply and are requested to write to me outlining why you would be a good parent governor. Please be aware that this role is voluntary and unpaid. If you are interested please collect a form from the school office.

Diversity Week Our annual diversity week celebrations will take place week beginning the 17th October. This week was designed to raise awareness and involve pupils, staff and parents in promoting equality and diversity. A series of events will take place during this week. Parents will receive letters informing them of these events. We have invited an African singer, a Balkon music/dance group, a Bollywood dancer and Zulu Nation performers. Pupils will need to come dressed up on the day these events take place. We look forward to your support and co-operation.

Fire Evacuation The unscheduled/accidental evacuation earlier this week raised a few issues as it occurred at the end of the school day. I would ask all parents to ensure that if this happens again, you remain with your child and accompany his/her class lining up alongside them rather than crowding round, so that we can quickly check that all children are accounted for.
Reminder for Trips Please note the dates opposite for forthcoming trips.

Photographs Those children who were unable to have their photographs taken yesterday will be able to have them taken when the photographer is back in school on 18th October.
Parking It has been brought to my attention that the following vehicles, a dark blue Toyota Jeep EF56 XXK and a silver Lexus V409 MGU blocked the entrance to the main car park. Please be more considerate when bringing and collecting your children to school.
