Newsletter No 8 2nd Nov 2011

Olympic Events A reminder to parents that Larry Achike, a Triplejump Olympic Athlete will be joining us on the 8th November for some sponsored sporting events. Sponsorship forms were sent home to all KS1 and KS2 parents just before half term. The money raised will go to funding for more Olympic events for the school and there will be small gifts depending on how much each child raises. This is a really exciting opportunity for your child to take part in some exercise and have their photo taken with Larry. Please make sure your child has their PE Kit in school that day.

Eid Assembly — Year 5 will be performing their Eid Assembly to Year 5 parents on 11th November at 10.30am (please note change of time).

Year 2/Year 6 SATs Meetings - As these year groups both have their Standardised Assessment Tasks and Tests at the end of the year, we have arranged meetings for parents to provide you with information on what to expect and also how you can support your child. I do hope that you will make every effort to attend these important meetings.
Year 2 Meeting—9.15am Wed 9th Nov (Main Hall)
Year 6 Meeting—9.15am Tue 8th Nov (Main Hall)

Possible School Closure 30th November 2011 As part of the ongoing dispute regarding changes to pensions, it is likely that many public sector workers, including school staff, will be out on strike on 30th November. Whilst I cannot confirm this, I would like all parents to note that school may have to be closed for the day.

Parent Coffee Mornings I would like to invite parents to meet me informally for a coffee and biscuits, but also to gather your views on how the school is doing. I do hope that you will make every effort to attend so that we can work in close partnership to improve the needs of the school and children.
Yrs 2 and 3— Fri 4th Nov at 9.15-10.15am
Yrs 4,5 and 6—Fri 11th Nov at 9.15-10.15am


Come and meet the Governors School governors will be available in the cookery room on the middle floor on the 10th November, which is our parents evening, to meet parents.

Zumba Classes Zumba Classes are being held at the Frenford Centre on a Monday morning at 9.30am. Each session will cost £5, with a loyalty card £3.25. The first session will cost £2.50. If any parents/carers are interested in joining these classes please collect a flyer from the office.

Considerate Parking We have, yet again, received some complaints from our neighbours regarding some parents parking inconsiderately over their driveways when dropping off and collecting their children from school, Would the owner of car registration MM57 UFE, please make sure that you park in an appropriate and safe place.
Thank you to all parents who continue to show consideration to children’s safety and the law. However, recently one of our pupils was knocked over outside school, and I continue to be concerned about the lack of consideration by some parents who not only drive dangerously without putting seatbelts on their children, but persistently stop in the middle of the car park to let their children run out without ensuring that they have safely reached their class line. DO YOU REALLY NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY, OR THAT OF OTHERS?!!!! Shame on you—you know who you are!!!

School Website Please note that we are currently working on improving this, but would still encourage you to look at updates.
