Safety Week This was launched in assemblies this week through the workshops across the school, led by the Police, NSPCC and support groups, as well as school based staff. I hope you will be able to drop into our ‘colour assemblies’ on Thursday to hear what some classes have been doing.
House System Last week in assemblies, we launched our new ‘House System’ whereby all children and staff are in colour teams of blue, yellow, green and red. Children will be awarded points for good behaviour, manners, effort and attitudes. The winning house will get a prize at the end of each term.

Open School As always, Open School will be taking place after school on Tuesday 1st October. Please do take this opportunity to come and have a look at your child’s classroom and books.
Teachers’ Strike 17th October Please note that some teachers’ unions are calling their members out to strike on 17th October 2013 in response to a number of pertinent issues affecting education. 23 Cranbrook teachers will be striking that day. Therefore, I have no option but to close the school to children as other staff are not qualified to take the classes. I hope that this early notice will enable you to make the necessary childcare arrangements.   
Book Fair Please also note that a book fair will be running from 20th to 25th September after school in the small hall. Please do come and have a browse of the selection of books and support the school.
