Working Together, reaching for Individual

Goals

Hooters

Daniel Meets Craig Whittaker Daniel Brown met a celebrity last week as he was playing out, our local MP Craig Whittaker. Craig lives near Daniel and they had a good chat from what I heard. The MP also left Daniel with an autograph on the back of his business card.

Please could parents send dinner money to class in a named envelope on a Monday, stating which days your child wants a school dinner. Many thanks.

Busy Band Our Band are on the road a lot in the summer months. We have our own Creative Arts Evening on 30th June, they have been invited to play at Rastrick High School in their Celebration Evening on 28th June and also at the closing of Castlefields Infant School later in the year. Thank you to the adults who help with the band because without their help it would be

impossible.

Sports Events We are coming up to that time of the year when the children are taking part in lots of sporting activities each day. Please can parents check their children’s PE kits and make sure they are named. Each child needs black shorts and the correct coloured top. They also need outdoor trainers. Water bottles and hats are also essential at this time of year.

School closes for half term next Friday 27th May at 3.20pm. We re-open on Monday 6th June at 8.50am.

Lovely Rabbits We all know our resident Dr Dolittle, Alicia Howells. The latest additions to her collection of animals are these lovely cute baby rabbits born recently.

Netball Match against Woodhouse Our school Netball team were in action last night against an experienced Woodhouse team. Although we lost, our team played well and did the school proud. Well done team!

Lollipop Cover As many of you will know, Mrs Hogg, our lollipop lady, has been off work since May Day. The Council are trying to get cover and there has been some in recent days, however they are struggling to cover due to illness in other areas. I just need to warn parents that there might not always be a person doing this job at the moment and when I have more information I will let you know.

 

Fire Drill Success 1 minute and 21 seconds was the record time in which we evacuated the school the other day. Well done everyone!

New Roof for Hooters The builders have started on a new roof for our out of school club and the music room. For several years now these have leaked every time the weather has been wet. We are hopeful the work will be done within the next couple of weeks.

If your child is going to PGL, you don’t need me to tell you that they are excited about it. I have been to PGL and can speak from experience that this is a wonderful visit for the children. We look forward to hearing about their trip and seeing the evidence in photos. Thank you in advance to all the staff who are going to help.
