CHRISTMAS HAMPERS FOR
OUR NEIGHBOURS IN PARKSIDE GARDENS When the choir goes
along to sing for the residents in the Hasluck Trust Housing in Parkside
Gardens, we would like to take along some Christmas gifts. We would be
grateful if you could send in small items so that we can make up hampers. To
ensure we have a variety of foodstuffs, I have suggested things that each
class can bring. Please only send one item per child, thank you. Reception Ross: a small Christmas
pudding Reception Candler: a packet of ready
made custard Y1C: Christmas crackers Y1D: a pack of Pringles Y2S: a small pack of chocolates Y2D: a Christmas candle Y3: a jar of cranberry sauce Y4: a small Christmas cake Y5: crackers for cheese Y6LD: chutney Y6D: a small pack of mince pies Please send in any
items by Friday 9th December. Thank you so much for your support. |

YEAR 1 BOOK BAGS As part of our move
to help children become more independent and responsible in Year 1, children
are encouraged to check their book bags for any trip letters, payments,
messages from home every morning. As the children come into the classroom in the
morning they are encouraged to check their book bag for anything that needs
handing in to their teacher. Please help them by reminding them as you drop
them off if there is something to hand in. Obviously, this system isn’t
foolproof so if something keeps coming back to you, please text/email the
office and we will check! Thanks for your help. |

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO
FOOTBALL TRAINING ON THURSDAY 24TH NOVEMBER AS THERE IS A FOOTBALL

can you let the office know by Friday 9th December if your child is switching
back to school meals in January 2017. Thank you. |

MEDICINES IN SCHOOL If
your child has antibiotics 3 times a day, there is no need to send it into
school. Give first dose morning, 2nd dose after school and 3rd dose bed-time. If 4 times, then school
will administer at lunch-time. Don’t forget that we can only give prescription
medicine, not Calpol or cough medicines etc. Please make sure that you fill
in a permission form in the office in you wish us to administer medicines. |

‘THE CHRISTMAS STORY’ YEARS 1-6 – MONDAY 19th &
WEDNESDAY 21st DECEMBER
(9.30 a.m.) RECEPTION NATIVITY – MONDAY 19th
DECEMBER (2.30 P.M.) & TUESDAY 20th DECEMBER (9.30 A.M.) Tickets for the Y1-Y6 concert (The Christmas
Story) and the Reception Nativity are £2 each and limited to 2 per family
initially. How to get your ticket/s
Space in the hall will be very limited for
the Christmas Story performance.
We are sorry but pre-school children will not be able to attend either of the
performances. Younger children may
come to the Nativity but must be
able to sit quietly, as the little voices of the actors can get lost
otherwise. If you have a very lively toddler, please don’t bring them, as it
spoils the performance for other parents. Push-chairs need to be parked on
the top corridor near the library so they don’t become a hazard for children
and parents in the event of needing to evacuate the building. |
