14 March 2014 Spring Term: No 9

The sunshine this week has really encouraged the children (and supporters) to come to school on scooters and bikes. At the start of the week around 15% of children were taking part in ‘The Big Pedal’ but by Thursday the figure had risen to 29%!

Our Sustrans wheelie characters have been added to our Big Pedal Wallchart, which is in the Front Reception. With just today’s figures to enter the leaders in the inter-class competition are 3H with a total of 125 journeys, closely followed by Owls with 116 journeys and Robins and Lions in joint third place with 109 journeys.

The final figures and announcement of the winners will be made next week but in the meantime, all the statistics can be found by logging into www.bigpedal.org.uk SD

Parent/Teacher Consultations Wednesday 19 March – 1.30 – 5.00 & 5.30—7.00pm

Early closure – 1.15pm Please remember to sing up for Parents’ Evening if you have not already done so. Sign up sheets are available in

the hall each morning from 8.45 – 9.10am and again at the end of the day. If you are unable to sign up in person,

then appointments can also be made by phoning the office. JK

House Writing Competition Thank you to everyone who entered the House Writing Competition. We enjoyed reading all of

the entries which included a variety of poems and stories. All children who entered the competition

have been awarded 5 house points each, with the winners each receiving 15 points along with a personalised

notepad. The winners of the competition were:

Ollie & Libby’s winning entry, ’How the Dragon Became a Hero’, was a graphic novel, with scenes made from Lego.

Katie Thorpe’s winning entry ‘The Tale of the Two Dragons’ follows:

“Once upon a time there were two dragons. A red dragon

and a blue dragon. They were not friends. The red dragon

went off hunting for food... Now the blue dragon was

alone but suddenly the blue dragon saw a shadow. He

was scared. Then he saw what it was, it was the red drag-

on. The blue dragon hid in the bushes hoping not to be

seen. The red dragon called for the blue dragon, “Blue

dragon, come out wherever you are. I’ll be friends with

you”. So the blue dragon popped out of the bushes. So the

red dragon and the blue dragon were friends and they

lived happily ever after. The end”

Other winning entries will be shared with the children in

assembly and may also feature in future issues of the

Tadworth Times.

Thank you again to everyone who entered—keeeeeep writing! NP, SH, LP, HM, FP

Provision of School Meals at Tadworth Primary With effect from September 2014 all children in

Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, will be offered a daily

school meal free of charge. To accommodate this,

we are planning to introduce some changes to our

current system for ordering school dinners which

will be effective from the start of the Summer Term.

Full details can be found in the leEer being sent

with the Tadworth Times today, together with a

reply slip (copies of which will be available from

the Front Reception Desk) to indicate your

child(ren)’s preferred options along with a copy of

the new Menu which will start then. HW

Dear Parents

Provision of School Meals at Tadworth Primary School

With effect from September 2014 all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, will be offered a daily school

meal free of charge. To accommodate this, we are planning to introduce some changes to our current system

for ordering school dinners which will be effective from the start of the summer term.

From 22 April 2014, all children will need to have a set meal paEern which will either be a meal every day or a

meal on set days of the week. Having submiEed your child’s chosen meal paEern this needs to be adhered to

for the rest of the current half term. If changes are required a revised meal paEern needs to be submiEed prior

to the start of the next half term.

A copy of the summer menu is aEached and will continue to be published and readily available on the web-

site. All children will have the option of the published meal, the vegetarian alternative or a jacket potato. Year

6 children will continue to have the option of a Panini on Tuesdays and Thursdays. A daily register will con-

tinue to be taken when children need to state their choice for the day, (hot dinner, vegetarian, jacket potato or

packed lunch).

On days when children are out on a school trip they will be offered a school packed lunch, this will need to be

ordered when signing up for the trip.

We will review the provision during the summer term but in the meanwhile if you have any comments on the

proposed system, please let us know as we welcome your feedback.

If you are planning for your child/children to have school dinners for the first half of the summer term, can

you please complete the slip below indicating which days of the week they will have a school dinner?

We will write again next term, to all Key Stage 1 parents to find out whether they intend to take up the offer

of a free school meal daily for their child, which we are actively encouraging as a school.

All parents need to be aware that they will no longer be able to drop in/phone on an ad hoc basis to request a

lunch for that day. The only time that parents will be able to sign up for their child to have a one off lunch will

be on a Fun Friday/for special events which will be advertised in advance and which will include a cut-off

date.

Yours sincerely
