Meet The Teacher- Tuesday 19th September.

The children have settled in well to their new classes and we would like to welcome parents and carers to meet the teacher on Tuesday 19th September at 3.00pm-3.30pm. This is an informal meeting.

GAIN Award 

School will be continuing with the GAIN Award for children in Year 1 -6.

Reception class will start when all the children are settled and in full time. 

There are seven weeks in this half term, the children will need to have received the GAIN award five times to be on the award

A reminder:

Children will receive a weekly sticker for the following:

Reading at home at least 3 times a week

Completing homework

Attending school and being on time 

Wearing the correct uniform and PE kit

Not losing more that 15minutes Golden Time in a week

If children have lost 15 minutes or more of their golden time, that will result in them losing the GAIN award that week. Losing 5 or 10 minutes will not stop them getting the GAIN award on the grounds of behaviour. 

School are aware that children do get ill, so to get the full GAIN award at the end of the term 5 out of the 7 weeks need to be achieved. 

Year 2 and Y3 visit to the library.

Children from Y2 & Y3 will be visiting Chester Lane Library on Tuesday.

Year 2 Formby Beach Trip

Year 2 will be visiting Formby beach on 26th September. Payments can be made via ParentPay, please contact school if you have any queries about payment.

 

Macmillan Coffee Morning- Friday 29th September

School will be supporting this charity again this year. Please come along to out coffee and cake morning at 9.00am at the Hive. All proceeds will go to Macmillan Cancer Charity. Cakes will be on sale to children that day- all proceeds to charity. Any cake donation would be greatly received.

 

Parking around school

Please park considerately around school and be mindful not to block any driveways. A resident on Taunton Avenue has complained as they were unable to drive off their driveway as a car was blocking the way.
