Newsletter No 12 29th Nov 2011

Change of Morning Routine Thank you for your support with this change of routine. Overall, the start of the day is much improved. However, I would like to clarify that the school times have not changed. We are simply addressing the issues of congestion, bad weather, punctuality and the pressure on the car park. The gates will not open any earlier than 8.45am. Please also help us by sending in money for trips or arrears in envelopes that are clearly labelled with your child’s name and class, so that these get to the correct collection box and can be handed in to the senior member of staff on duty at the gate and/or doorways.

Please make every effort to ensure your child attends school punctually and regularly.

PTA Christmas Pantomime The PTA have organised and paid for a Christmas pantomime as an end of year treat for all pupils. This will be held on Monday 5th December 2011 and will also be a non uniform day with a fancy dress theme. A voluntary donation of £1 for each child would be kindly appreciated for future such events for the children. The following changes will take place on the 5th. Nursery will be closed for the whole day and both am and pm children will be invited to attend the pantomime in the morning from 9.45am – 11am, where they will watch the pantomime with all key stage 1 pupils. Key stage 2 pupils will watch the pantomime in the afternoon from 1.45pm – 3.45pm and school will finish at 3.45pm (for key stage 2 pupils only). The extra curricular after school clubs (i.e. cricket, tennis and netball) will be cancelled and parents will be reimbursed all payments for that day. The Cranbrook after school club will operate as normal. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the PTA for organising and paying for this end of year event for all pupils.

Cranbrook Parenting Course We would like to invite parents and carers to take part in a 5 week parenting course at Cranbrook Primary School. The course will start on Thursday 12th January and will run for 5 weeks until Thursday 9th February from 9.00am – 11.00am. Parents will have the opportunity to meet other parents, explore new ideas for managing behaviour, raise children’s confidence and develop new skills and techniques. A certificate will be awarded to all participants and free refreshments will be provided. If you would like to enrol please come into the office to put your name down on the waiting list or contact Beverley the school’s parent support adviser for further information.

End of Year Coffee Morning We would like to invite all parents and carers to come along to our end of year coffee morning. This will be held on Tuesday 13th December from 9am – 10.30am in the small hall. There will be free refreshments, free beauty treatments, a free raffle and a chance to meet other parents, along with some of the staff and to have some fun. Under fives are welcome too!
