PAYING FOR LUNCHES Please let us know if your child will not be having a lunch, otherwise the lunch will be ordered and you will be charged. Even if your child is sent home sick, if the lunch was ordered, you will be charged. Please don’t shoot the messenger…these are the rules of the new catering company, not the school!
PAYING FOR BREAKFAST CLUB & AFTER SCHOOL CLUB Please check weekly to ensure payments are kept up to date. There are a lot of outstanding amounts from December which remain unpaid.

SNACKS AT BREAKTIME May I remind parents of children in Key Stage 2 that the only snacks allowed at playtime are fruit or vegetables. We have never allowed cereal bars but these seem to have crept in without me noticing over a period of time. Please feel free to send in an apple, some grapes, a banana, some carrot sticks, cucumber etc. I will remind the children of the things they are allowed to bring in assembly on Friday. All other snacks will be sent home with children at the end of the day.
PLEASE ALSO REMEMBER WE ARE A NUT-FREE SCHOOL AND CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BRING NUTS OR PRODUCTS CONTAINING NUTS IN PACKED LUNCHES.

KEY STAGE 2 CHOIR STARTS TOMORROW-8.15 a.m. in the hall New members are always welcome, just come along to the hall tomorrow for a try out. We will be practising songs for the Barnet Music Festival very soon, so children need to commit to coming every week to ensure we can learn all the songs in time. The festival is in June but it takes a while to perfect the songs! Children who miss more than 3 sessions in each half-term may not be able to come to the Arts Depot with the choir in June, as they will have missed too many rehearsals.

A MESSAGE FROM PCSO BURDA Dear All,
I am on holiday for next three and a half weeks so I thought I would send out the current stats for December today and then a final version when I return. So far we have had 15 burglaries this month and 18 motor vehicles offences. Vehicle crime therefore remains high and this month's figures compares unfavourably with last December when we had six such offences and also last month when again we had six offences during the month.
This matches the annual trend, which shows that there were 103 motor vehicle offences on the ward last year, but 118 such offences so far this year. The burglary rate is however similar to last year, with 152 burglaries last year and 153 burglaries so far this year.
The latest burglary prevention advice is of course available on our website -
[www.met.police.uk/crime-prevention/residential-burglary]www.met.police.uk/crime-prevention/residential-burglary
In light of the sudden albeit expected closure of Barnet police station's front counter there will soon be a contact surgery held once a week on every ward in Barnet where you can report crimes, discuss policing issues, etc. The locations have not been decided yet and the locations will be finalised once our Ward Panels have been consulted. Our next ward panel meeting will be held on Wednesday 24th January from 6.30pm at the North London Business Park. If you would like to attend that meeting please email us.
There will also be contact points held at our patrol base at 27 Friern Barnet Road every Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 7pm to 8pm. It will again be possible to report crimes at these contact points however please remember that the easiest way to report crime now is via the 'Report a Crime' button on the homepage of the Met Police website. It takes around 15 minutes to report a crime via the website. The 101 number also still exists and is another convenient way of reporting crime.
Finally, I of course hope everyone has a good New Year. I will be celebrating New Year in Japan for the first time, with my wife and her family out there.
Regards,
Justin

VISIT TO THE FOODBANK A big ‘thank you’ to Louiza, Alexandria and Loui for delivering your donations to the food bank at the end of term. This is what Louiza said about the visit: ‘They were so grateful for the amount of
donations we gave. They couldn’t thank the school enough. Alexandria and Loui
were given a tour and it was so interesting to see how it was all
organised. There were also Volunteers there when we were there, making
Christmas hampers for families. It was so good to see that there are still
good people in the world.
