BUILDING WORK - CANOPY
The canopy nearest the back entrance has been removed (to be replaced at a later date) and the path will be ‘made good’ this week. As soon as we can use it safely I will be outside directing you through it.
IMPORTANT REMINDER ABOUT NUTS
Please can we stress to parents that they MUST NOT PACK ANY NUTS OR NUT PRODUCTS in their child’s lunchbox or snack box. We have 2 children at school who have serious nut allergies and if they come into contact with nuts or nut products they will have a life-threatening reaction.
REMINDER HARVEST FESTIVAL – Thursday 30 September
Our services will take place on Thursday 30 September in St Michael’s church. All parents are welcome to attend. The KS1 and Foundation service will be 9.30–10.15am and the KS2 service at 10.30–11.30am. Each child may bring in 1 or 2 small items to present for our Harvest charity collection.
LEAVING CHILDREN AT START OF DAY
Now we have all settled back into school, please can we remind parents not to return back into school at 8.45am when the bell goes at the start of the day.
FASHION ACCESSORIES
A number of children are wearing items to school that are not part of our uniform. We would like to remind parents that we do not allow the following: Head-scarves, bracelets or charity/festival wrist bands. Girls must also remove nail varnish before attending school. The only earrings that can be worn are stud earrings (no hoops or dangly ones please). Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.
ST MICHAEL’S CHURCH
Thank you to the Singing Cluib who helped start Open Church Week at St Michael’s. There are lots of activities in the church and everyone is welcome, it is open 24/7 this week.
COOKBOOK RESPONSE
The Friends are very sad to report that the Cookbook fundraiser has had a poor response with less than 30 contributions, which means that they will not be going ahead with producing these. Thank you very much to those families who did take the time to contribute, the Friends will be holding these recipes on the system and may decide to re-launch this for Easter in the hope of more contributions.
FRIENDS AGM
A really fun evening of Bingo & Beetle Drive was held on Friday night, with the AGM in the interval. Do look at the photos on the school BLOG. Thank you to all those parents who attended; new committee members appointed were: Louise Bounit, Michelle Kingsmead, Linda Mears and Judy Hardy.
A vote of thanks was given to retiring members Claire Baughan, Amanda Cornwell and Caroline Miller.
New members can be welcomed to the committee through the year, if you missed the AGM but are interested please contact Marie Therese Walker on 07939 265646
YEAR 6 OPEN DAY AT THOMAS MILLS HIGH SCHOOL
