Walk to School Week

Walk to school week starts on Monday 22nd May. So spend the weekend dusting off those walking shoes, set the alarm nice and early lock the car up and walk to school next week.

Meeting our Community Police Officer

WPC Lesley Owen introduced her self to the children in assembly on Monday. She talked about her job as a police officer and answered the children’s questions. WPC Owen will be running sessions in each class over the next few weeks. She will be talking about: ‘People Who Help Us’, ‘Making Choices’ and ‘Respect for Property’. Lesley has been a community police officer for many years and is very experienced in the classroom. She is also offering to security mark mobile phones for children in Years 4,5 and 6. More information to follow.

School Association Meeting

The school association met on Thursday 18th May. They will be sending a letter out to you after half term providing you with events information and also asking for your help at the school summer fair on July 8th.

Safety in Action

Year 6 will be attending a Safety in Action workshop at Carden Primary School. They will be finding out how to keep themselves and others safe.

World Cup

Our Wednesday assembly next week will have a World Cup theme. A famous sports commentator (a parent who many of you know) will be joining us. He will be helping children select a country to follow in the World Cup. Each class will follow a different country and along the way learn a few words of the language. In every class there will be a display focused on the language, culture and of course information on their World Cup team.

Reminders

Please can I remind you that children should not be wearing jewellery in school. Small stud earrings and a watches are ok but other items should not be worn for health and safety reasons but also sometimes precious items are lost and this causes a lot of upset.
