BE BRIGHT BE SEEN Please
make sure that your child is wearing something bright, reflective if
possible, on these dark winter mornings, especially if your child is a lone
traveller. |
OFFICE EMAIL (office@monkfrithschool.co.uk) From
now on, please use the email at the top of the newsletter to report absences
or send notes to the office. Thank you. |
FRIDAY FOOTBALL
LOST PROPERTY Fridays
haul was one black Next school shoe size 13, a polo shirt and a sweatshirt.
If your child has lost any of these, please let the office know and we will
send the items home. |
STEPPED ACCESS ON
BROOKSIDE SOUTH The
builders are aware of the problem of water lying on the new steps on
Brookside South and will be resolving this as soon as possible. Thank you for
your patience. |
DEVELOPING
PLAY AREAS You may have noticed a new climbing frame being fitted near the
steps on Brookside South. We also have plans for some other large play equipment
to be fitted next to the Key Stage 1 play area and also near to our Reception
classes. This will create several new exciting play areas for the children to
enjoy over the next few months and in the future. We would also like to
resurface our Key Stage 1 play area (outside the Y1 classrooms) but I am
having trouble getting quotes from contractors. If any one can recommend a
company, please let me know. FoMS are
also waiting for quotes at the moment for a small all weather football area.
This will be a great extra space and take football off the main KS2 play area
freeing it up for other games. All our fundraising will be going towards this
over the next couple of years. FoMS will also be
making bids for grants/matched funding to help with the purchase. |
