Newsletter No 9 9th Nov 2011

Zambia Mark H and Sheena spent the half term week in Zambia visiting and teaching at the school we have linked with. This was a wonderful opportunity and they have already come back and started sharing information with the children at Cranbrook to support their learning. Watch out for a coffee morning in the next few weeks where they will be able to share some photographs and stories about the week and how the money that was raised before half term was used to support Janna school. Also, take a look on our website under the ‘Download’ section where some photographs show you the school….http://www.cranbrookprimary.redbridge.sch.uk/

Unauthorised Leave Please note, since Eid was celebrated on Sunday, as indicated by many of our local mosques, the absence on Monday will be unauthorised for many of our families.

Eid Assembly - A reminder that Year 5 will be performing their Eid Assembly to Year 5 parents this Friday 11th November at 10.30am in the main hall. I do hope that you will be able to join us.

Olympic Event What a fantastic morning we had on Tuesday, when Larry Achike visited, and shared his experiences and successes with us all. He was 7th in the last Olympics and is currently in training for the Olympic trials. Please send in the sponsor forms and money by next Wednesday (16th Nov) at the latest. Look out for an article in the Ilford Recorder either this week or next.

Parent Coffee Mornings Update Although not a huge turnout, those parents who did attend Wednesday and Friday’s session last week, made some very valid points and shared very useful feedback with me. Much of the feedback was positive in relation to the developments in many aspects of the school. I would like to take this opportunity to remind the parents of Years 4, 5 and 6 that there is a coffee morning at 9.15 this Friday 11th November, where I hope to gather more views on the work of the school. A detailed report of feedback will be shared in next week’s newsletter.


Parent’s Evening Would parents please note that after 3.45pm, the entrance for Parent’s Evening will be via the main hall.

Dinner/Trip Money To ease congestion in the main office reception at the beginning and end of the day, please put any money/slips in an envelope marked clearly with your child’s name and class and put into the box in the office foyer or alternatively, give to your child’s class teacher.

Considerate Parking We have, yet again, received complaints from some of the residents on The Drive regarding the driver of a silver Polo, registration EX05 LTE, who parked across their drive and then threw litter out of the window. A black Galaxy, registration EX11 JZR and a red Mazda registration E5 TYR who are regularly parking across residents driveways. Also, would the owner of car registration EY07 WWD, not speed in the car park and go the wrong way round, as observed by me last Friday.

After School Club Please note the After School Club has a new mobile number 07874 809603 which is operational between 3.00-5.30pm.
