• Head Lice Newsletter

  Mon 14 May 2012

  We have re-issued the head lice policy for you. Please be advised we do not issue letters where cases are discovered in classes.
  
  Our policy is being pro-active rather than re active to the situation.
  
  Please try and help by sending your child to school with their hair tied back.

• Keep going with 'WOW'

  Mon 14 May 2012

  Just to remind you about our continual drive to lower our school carbon footprint with our 'Walk on Wednesday and Friday' and our 'Bike It' schemes.
  
  Realistically, the idea of both schemes is for children and adults to either walk or cycle to school every day or on the planned days at least and if you cannot walk at least park and stride close to school in order to cut the amount of cars using Spruce Avenue.
  
  All children who bike or scooter are entitled to a 'Bike It' token which enters them into the 'Bike It' raffle and the chance of winning a new bike. The WOW tokens entitle children to enter the WOW raffle where first prize is an Ipod. If you have not joined us before or just had a rest then please come and join the fun!

• Sports Day news

  Mon 14 May 2012

  Our sports days are planned for the dates in June [see 'Calendar section' and we have decided to change our usual plan and devote time and activities around London 2012. 
  
  We are also holding a Non-Olympic Beach Sports Day during our Global Citizenship week. This will be developed around our planned week on the Olympics.
  
  The children will therefore have two Olympic style events to help them and us all get ready and excited for London 2012. 
  
  Hopefully the children will research various countries in the classes and we will have an Olympic procession during the Summer Fayre and Sports Day.
