Whats been happening in school this
week?
Newsletter - 12th March 2015
Swimming lessons
The school pool has been recommissioned, so
swimming lessons start again next week. We are still
aiming for a new canopy and changing rooms for the
Summer, but for now the show must go on!
Here are the swimming days:
Monday - Nursery and Year 3.
Tuesday - Reception and Year 4
Wednesday - Year 2 (Ms Stubbs)
Thursday -Year 1/2 (Miss Hume) and R/Year 1 (Mrs
Cawthera/Kenneally-Stone)
Friday - Nursery and Year 5.
Year 6 start their swimming later in the year. We will
let you know when this begins.
Star of the Week

For being such a
super talk
partner and
helping others!
Well done Thalia
Rose.
Tadpole Watch
Nursery have been
watching frogspawn
hatch and turn into
wriggly tadpoles. We are
hoping to see some tiny
frogs before we release
them into the school
pond.
All children will need a swimming costume, towel

and swimming hat.
We also ask for a 5 contribution towards the cost of
these lessons and the up-keep of the pool, which I
think you will agree is very good value to be able to
have our own school pool. There is an envelope with
this newsletter to send back this donation.
Thanks.
Parents Evening
Fast approaching is parents evening on 25th and 26th
March (4pm to 7pm). School reports are sent home
the week before, so these meetings are designed for
you to drop in and see the class teacher about them, if
you want to. Please keep these dates free!
Family Service Sunday 15th March

On Sunday 15th March, pupils in Year 2, Year 6 and
Quest Club will be making contributions to the Family
Service (singing and taking part in drama/
presentations).
During this week, that have worked on their
contributions, with the support of James McAdam.
We would like as many Year 2, Year 6 and Quest Club
families to attend.
Tapestry Course
Tapestry course tonight for parent/carers of children in
our Foundation and Reception class takes place this
evening in school from 7.15pm-8.15pm. This is a
chance to look at our new online learning journey and
learn how you can add observations from home. We
hope as many of you can make it as possible.
Forensic Science Day

Next week it is National Science and Engineering
week. This Monday the children will be given the
opportunity to learn about forensic science. From Year
1 upwards, the children will participate in a workshop
where their learning will vary from finger print testing
to DNA analysis.

We have tonnes of lost property! For the next week I will bring the box out onto the
Next Messy Church at
playground (or leave in the hall if wet). Do come and find your lost articles. Anything left St Peters hall:
by the end of next week will be sent off to the 'Sale Rail' or to charity.
Thursday 19th March
mp3 players
Does anyone have an old mp3 or phone (SIM less!) that they don't use any more? If you
can donate it to the school I want to let the children have music to dance and sing to at
lunchtimes on the playground.

Parking
Monday 16th St Peters

Swimming Pool re-opens
Please note, it with some disappointment that a few parents are getting frustrated when for lessons
I challenge them about parking in the yellow hatched 'no parking zones' and on double- Friday 20th - SPSA
yellow lines.
Chocolate Bingo - doors
open 18.00
I am sure that this is born out of frustration about parking spaces, which are out of my
control (although parking around the corner is the best idea!)

However, the no parking zones are there for a reason - the children's safety! So please
do not use lateness or busy roads as an excuse, as we all have to follow the same rules.
Thanks for your understanding.
Lost PE Kit
