BAG2SCHOOL COLLECTION
Just a reminder that the charity bag collection is THIS Wednesday.  
Bags should be left in the pavilion on the front playground please before 9am.

NURSERY OPEN MORNING REMINDER
If you have a child born BEFORE 31 December 2009, do come along to our
NURSERY OPEN MORNING on Thursday 27 September from 10.00 – 11.30am.
Parents are welcome to pop in on this date to look around (with or without children).

PLEASE NAME ALL PROPERTY
Please can we ask that ALL clothes, shoes, bags, lunchboxes and any other property has your child’s NAME on it please.  If we find unnamed property we have no way of getting it back to the right pupil which means parents end up having to buy replacements.

CLUB UPDATES:
HHH (Wednesday) - this will be held in the hall from now on.
CHOIR (Wednesday) – this will be held in the upstairs Music Room/Computer suite.
YEAR 4 LUNCHTIME FOOTBALL  - This has now moved to Wednesday lunchtime instead of Thursday.  Pupils will need PE Kit plus football socks, shin pads, either football boots or trainers. As the weather gets colder we recommend tracksuit bottoms / joggers and sweat top.

PLEA FOR READING HELPERS
The following classes still need volunteers to help with reading please:
Class LC on a Monday or Wednesday morning; Class CH on a Wednesday or Friday morning.

GOING HOME ARRANGEMENTS
Please can we remind parents that any changes to who your child is going home with should be given to the teacher in writing on that day;   only in emergencies (ie delays in collecting) should parents call the office who can pass a verbal message to the teacher.    Thank you.
CHILDREN PLEASE ‘WASH YOUR HANDS’
We have been advised that there has been another case of Threadworm in the school.   Good hygiene is the only way to prevent infections like this from spreading and causing further infection, for more information:    http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Threadworms/Pages/Introduction.aspx
In school, teachers have again been reminding children about the importance of regular hand washing, especially after using the toilet.  
Please can we ask that parents help to reinforce this message. 

CLEANING VACANCIES AT SCHOOL
If anyone is interested in a cleaning role at the school please contact our contract cleaning company EFMS – Trish Riches on 07515 192 252.  They are looking to recruit additional members to their cleaning team.

WAITING FOR CHRISTMAS – KS2
Please find with this letter a ‘Waiting for Christmas’ permission form. 
This form MUST be returned to us by Friday 28 September – children will not be able to attend the recording day or performance unless we have this permission slip.
