PALM BAY PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWSLETTER: October 13th 2017
‘Loving learning, making a difference’
What’s on week beginning 13th Oct-17
Value: Achievement
Dear parents and carers
I am sorry that we didn’t have a newsletter last week. As you know, we have been short-staffed in the office
since the start of term. This week we welcomed our new Receptionist, Mrs Angela Newbold, and we have a new
Office Manager, Mrs Reema Koyappalli, who will be joining us after half term. I hope you will join the staff in
welcoming them both to the team.
We have had a fun two weeks at Palm Bay, with lots of opportunities for learning outside of the classroom. Year
5 have been visiting the forest area over the last few weeks to build a mini beast hotel and yesterday they found
that lots of visitors have checked in! They had spiders, millipedes, worms, slugs and many more creepy crawlies.
The children have enjoyed being outdoors working practically on their science project and have a good understand-
ing of habitats, mini beasts and food chains.
Reception class participated in a sponsored bike ride on Monday this week and have also enjoyed trips to the local
farm. Year 1 have been planning a Woodland Party to have in the forest. This has included making decorations,
masks and writing lists of all the things they need. We are proud to have attained the Bronze and Silver ‘Green
Trees Award’ for schools, from the Woodland Trust, in recognition of our commitment to outdoor learning and
ecology, and Mrs Page led a whole-school assembly on Thursday all about trees. She will also be recruiting a team
of children to work on an Eco project this year and we will be going for the Gold award next.
On Tuesday this week, Mrs Tong led the ‘Big Draw’ outside our outdoor classroom. Thank you to all the families
who came to meet our artist in residence, Anabelle Losa, and get involved in creating the giant animated sea pic-
ture. We will be exhibiting this work in the school soon.
On Tuesday, 31 year 5 children went on a trip to The Theatre Royal in Margate. These children are part of the
Shakespeare for Schools programme and they took part in a workshop with two professional actors from the or-
ganisation. They had a brilliant time and got to practice some of their scenes on a real stage! Two children also
got to go inside a professional sound and lighting booth. We can’t wait for the final performance at the Theatre
Royal on November 17th!
Finally, some thanks:
Thank you to our wonderful PTFA who raised over £1000 at our last Boot Fair of the year last weekend. The
PTFA AGM took place on Wednesday this week – thanks to all those who came along. This Monday we are cele-
brating Harvest Festival and we are so grateful to everyone who has generously given food. We have chosen two
local charities to donate the food to: Oasis and Thanet Families in Need. I know they will both be appreciate
our support. Finally, we would like to thank local resident, Georgina Roberts, who has kindly donated a big bag of
children’s magazines and comics to the school. As you know, we have a big drive for Reading for Pleasure this
year and would welcome any other similar donations.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend – enjoy the sunshine!

Reminder: Please can we ensure that we all drive and park
courteously, having in mind that young children cross the
roads and car parks in the local area and of the school.
Thank you.
Thank you to all the families that came on Saturday to help clear out the pond. It was hugely successful and we have made a big difference, as you can see from our before and after pictures.
I am sure there will be other opportunities to help in the future with stage 2! Watch this space for information.

Before After
School Pond update
Head lice are a normal part of childhood. As a parent you probably
know what a hassle it is to treat head lice and just how frustrating it
can be when your child comes home scratching their head yet again.

Sporting News—Miss Delderfield
Well done to the football team in the 1st round of
the Les Riggs Cup. Christchurch were great opponents but with a
solid performance we won 8-0 and are through to the 2nd round
against Chilton.
A massive well done to all the 24 children that competed in the 1st
Cross Country of the year held at Quex Park. It was very windy
but the children gave it their all and got round the course. A
massive well done to Taylor and Jake Burgess who both came 3rd
in their races. A list of times will go up on the sports board soon.
On Saturday I will be taking 2 teams to the Super Saturday event
at Upton. Good Luck and enjoy the day.
Thank you to all the Parents/Carers that support the children at
these events and also help me on the side-lines.
All after school club replies must be in on Friday 13th October and
confirmation slips will be sent home with your child next week.

Book Recommendation of the week
PTFA
Chair: Gary Burgess 07884 235189
Secretary: Sam Pritchard 07799 866140
SHACKLETON'S JOURNEY BY WILLIAM GRILL
This book has won 3 children's book awards including the New York
Times Best Illustrated Book. It describes the epic true story of how
Ernest Shackleton and his crew managed to survive crossing frozen
Antarctica in 1914, and is a testament to their great courage and
endurance. A fascinating and inspirational read. It is highly
recommended by Mrs Taylor.
Reminder: Please ensure you are not parking in the drop off
zone.
