Our Hearing Impaired children had a fantastic time at their forest school session last week in the snow. They played snow balls, made a snowman and snow angels and even enjoyed a drink! It looks like you had lots of fun.

As part of our school safety week, our Year 6 children will be going to Crucial Crew in Bolton on Tuesday 12^th March 2019. We sent a letter home to Year 6 this week. Please send the permission slip and a contribution of £5 towards coach travel back to the school office as soon as possible. Thank you.

 

Our Year 6 parents meetings will be on Tuesday 26th February. Letters have gone home with children this week. Please could you return the reply slip no later than Friday 15th February.

 

Parents Meetings for other year groups will be in March and we will send letters home when dates have been confirmed. Thank you.

 

This year World Book Day is on Thursday 7th March. On World Book Day we will all be reading the same picture book called ’The chicken that hatched a cow’. Classes will be taking part in activities linked to this book. Children will take part in paired reading on this day. We invite children to come to school in animal fancy dress.  Theme linked to the book.

 

We will be giving out the World Book Day book tokens week commencing 4th March 2019. These can be exchanged for £1 off any book, please note there will only be one token per child. Thank you.

 

Well done to the dodgeball team who played against Bowlee Park Primary School this week. They played really well but Bowlee were the winners. Well done Marland Hill.

 

Our Reception children will be practicing brushing their teeth at school with their friends very soon.  Parents should have received a letter about this recently.  If not, please call into the school office to ask for a copy, or please download one from our 'letters home' section of this website. 

 

Please return your permission slip as soon as possible to your child's class teacher, as without this your child will not be allowed to take part.

 

Your child will also be be given a tooth brushing kit, for them to use at home.  Please encourage your child to use it regularly, and practice good oral hygiene from a young age.  Thank you for your co-operation.

We have CGP Phonics books available to purchase from the school office, at a cost of £2 each.  These are fantastic learning aids for the children in Year 1, and we encourage parents to buy them from school, whilst they are available, especially as they are much cheaper than the price you would pay online.

Thank you to those parents who managed to get children into school and on time, despite the snowy weather. We work hard to ensure we are open during bad weather spells. We will always keep in touch with parents about any changes to the school by text message, so please ensure that we have your up to date phone number/s.

 

We are raising money for Comic relief this year by holding a 'dress in red' day on Friday 15th March 2019.  All children are invited to come to school in non uniform (including an item of red clothing), for a donation of £1.

 

As a result of feedback from parents, staff and children we will not be selling red noses in the school office this year. Sainsbury’s and Argos are both selling red noses this year.

 

Every week during PE, Mr Hilton will be choosing two pupils from each year group to be his PE superstars of the week.
