June 14th
Dear Parent /Carer
Sports Day
We were very sorry to have to cancel sports day because of the wet weather conditions but have now agreed an alternative date for later this term.
The school had already agreed to be involved in the Gedling 4Uth community event which is being organised for 2 weeks in July, and have planned to provide a range of sporting experiences for children and families to get involved in on Tuesday July 13th. We have decided to now incorporate sports day into this event as well, and have it all on the same day. More details will come out nearer the time.
Staffing Changes
We are very sorry to say that Claire Blain will be leaving us at the end of term to take up a new position at a school in another County. We will be very sad to see her go as she has been a fantastic asset to the school but wish her lots of best wishes for her future.
We are delighted to announce that we have just appointed her replacement. Her name is Marie Harris and she will be visiting school to get to know us and the children on a number of occasions later this term. We were very impressed with Marie at interview and we are sure she will contribute well to school life bringing her own interests, skills and attributes.
Sunshine room
Our Sunshine room located next to the Dining room has received a big ‘make over’ with the addition of a kitchen and new furniture. This room is designated to be mainly used by pupils in the morning but to also serve as a community room for use by you and other community groups at other times. If you are wishing to use the room to meet with other parents or have other suggestions to make regarding use of the room please speak to me. As a result of a request from a parent, in September we are going to organise an after school homework club that you can attend with your child.
Arnold Carnival
Arnold Carnival is being held this weekend on Saturday and Sunday June 19th and 20th at Arnot Hill Park. Lots of activities will be taking place and it should be a fun week end. Some of our children will be performing on Saturday afternoon at 3pm. Please do go along and support them. Very sadly I am not able to go myself because of a family event but I know they will be brilliant and do the school proud.
Visual Images Consent Forms
We have had very few of these forms returned to us. It is vital that we do have completed forms for all children. If you need any further information about completing them please do speak to me.
If we do not receive forms by the end of this week we will be sending out more copies and will keep reminding you until we have them all. Please help us by sending them in a.s.a.p. Thank you for your help.
Recycle Day June 22nd
On June 22nd you will be able to recycle unwanted electrical items at school. Special recycling bins are being delivered to the school as part of the Gedling Recycling Week, to put your unwanted goods in.
We have been told that the following items cannot be accepted: batteries, strip lights, fridges, freezers or other large electrical items.
You can recycle goods such as unwanted toasters, kettles, computer equipment, mobile phones, stereos and other smaller items.
Please bring the items to school and place them in the specially designated bins. Please do not leave them by the school main entrance as they will pose a hazard. I am anticipating that the bins will be placed on the path between the main entrance and staff car park but cannot confirm the exact location until they are delivered and we know how big the bins are.
You can only recycle goods on Tuesday June 22nd, please do not bring them on any other day.
We look forward to seeing you in school this week joining in activities with your child on Monday and Tuesday.
Yours Sincerely,
Susan Laplanche
Head Teacher
