Bad Weather

There is currently bad weather being forecasted for

the end of the week. In the event of a school clo-

sure, we will put an announcement on the school web-

site, local radio stations: Lincs FM 102.2, BBC Radio

Lincolnshire 94.9 and Heart FM 102.7 and send

emails out.

Please avoid ringing the school as the telephone lines will be congested. Thank you.

I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year. The holiday seemed to fly by. The children have quickly settled down to work

and are enthusiastic about their new topics. The curriculum sheets will be sent out to you next week.

Kingswood

The final instalment of £30 for the Year 6 visit to Kingswood

is due by Friday 30th January.

Congratulations to Miss Goy in the office who is ex-

pecting her first child in June!

Litter

We are having problems with litter on the play-

ground and are making a very determined effort

to resolve this issue. There are plenty of bins on

the playground for the children to put the litter

in, but when they are enjoying playing with their

bins they often forget and drop it on the floor. It would be

appreciated, if you are sending snacks in, that they have the

minimal amount of packaging on them and that you reinforce

the importance of putting litters in bins with them at home.

Parking

We had only been back a couple of days when it was

reported to us that several cars had been parked on

the yellow lines. Please remember to park responsibly

as it is the children’s safety and well-being that is put

at risk if you do not. The KS2 children have had an input about

road safety, from a road safety officer, already this term and

it is very important that they see parents setting a good exam-

ple.

Payments to the Office

Please can you ensure all money is sent direct to the school

office and not sent in your child’s book bag as it is not the

teacher’s responsibility to check the bags for money. We have

had on a few occasions where dinner money and trip money has

not been received at the office until after the due date. Thank

you for your cooperation.

All About Africa

KS1 pupils are learning about Africa this

term and Mr and Mrs Woodhead came

into school to talk about the work that

they did in Kenya, teaching in a school

for 4 weeks.

They also talked to

when travelling in Kenya.
