| Winter weather – coats please It seems that winter is upon us. We like the children to be outside as much as possible, even with a light drizzle. However, if the children do not bring water-proof coats we cannot send them outside. Please ensure your child has a waterproof coat in school throughout the whole winter. |

| Harvest- Eco harvest Thank you to all parents and carers for providing food for the harvest festival. We collected a large amount of food, which was donated to the Upper Room charity. The charity distributes the food to less fortunate people. The school celebrated harvest with a whole school assembly whereby each contributed some work to the assembly. The assembly focused on locally sourced food and the effects air miles has on the environment. |

| E-safety – useful links Our children have been born into the digital age. They use computers, mobile phones, video game consoles etc., as part of their everyday lives. However, they may lack the life skills/experiences of adults to make the right choices when using this technology. It is vital that we teach them about internet safety at school, but also that you are aware of the dangers at home. Please find some useful links to help you: www.childnet-int.org/kia/parents www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents www.digizen.org www.parentscentre.gov.uk/usingcomputersandhteinternet |
|||
| Text messaging We have started texting parents if their children are absent from school and we haven't had a reason reported. Please be aware, that if your child is late, they must be registered in the late book or reported to the office. This is to ensure that they get a mark in the register and you will not receive a text. |
