NO USING MOBILE PHONES ON SITE
Our school policy, for the safety of all pupils, is that no one is allowed to use a
mobile phone on the school playground. This relates to both Child protection
and data protection. If you need to look at your phone, make or receive a call,
please do this outside the school site. Thank you.
HOME SCHOOL AGREEMENTS Please share, complete and return the Home School Agreement and AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) regarding use of technology at school. There are very useful website links on the school web-site to help you to keep you child safe on-line. (LINKS - Think u know?, CEOP, NSPCC, Safetynetkid. .
MATHLETICS MATHS CHALLENGE Esther, Mia, Isaac, Phoebe and Evie all took part in the Oswestry School Mathletics
Challenge, this week.
They solved a number of complex puzzles and had a delicious lunch in the refectory! All
the pupils enjoyed the event, along with fifteen other schools in the area, and Mia
commented: "It was fun, but hard!"
Each pupil contributed excellently, supported each other and behaved beautifully.
YEAR 6 AT LIFELINE On Monday this week, Year 6 went to Lifeline at Park Hall. We visited different stalls, where we learnt how to keep ourselves safe in different situations. First of all, we went outside, where we had to think where a safe place would be if we wanted to cross the road. A car came towards 'us' (a balloon), driving at 30 MpH. It took 23 metres to stop, and we (luckily the balloon) ended up under the wheels of the car. It was a real eye opener. We heard about safety on bikes (this was great, as we had just done Bikeability), but also about Fire safety, safety on a farm, cyber bullying, internet safety, stranger danger. We were even shown CPR. Most of us were intrigued by the safety on the railway line. We would like to thank the Rotary Club, who organise this event every year. As it happens, they are looking for local businesses to sponsor this worthwhile event. If you would be interested, please let Mrs. Cook know, who will put you in touch with the Rotary. Year 6 Hawks
SCHOOL COUNCIL – AUTUMN TERM Autumn term is a busy one for the School Council with lots of activities and events to organise. Our first focus of the term is to organise the Oswestry Food Bank to attend our harvest service in church and accept the food that has been donated. We will then plan events for Children in Need on Friday 15th November and a Friendship Assembly later in the term. More details for these events to follow.
SHINE CLUB
There will be no Shine Club on Tuesday 1st October as Mrs Webber is unable to attend due to a work commitment.
ACTIVITY PASSPORT Don’t forget to return your Activity Passport to school, if you have not done so already, so that your child’s class teacher can stick the list of activities to try to complete this year. If your child has lost their Activity Passport, please notify your child’s class teacher, either directly at the beginning or end of the day, or in a written note for the teacher to be put in the class letterbox.
PARENTPAY
Just a reminder to parents of children in Key Stage 2, if you are having trouble logging into or using your Parentpay account to pay for school lunches. We plan to start using Parentpay for educational visits and other payments during this year, so please make sure that you have a go and let Mrs Richards know if you have any problems.
