School Council attended a celebration event at Castleton Primary School showcasing the wonderful work they have undertaken throughout the year.  The children were delighted to receive the Bronze Award!  Well done, we are all so proud of you!

This term, every week we will be looking at children’s attendance and all those children who have 100% attendance for the week will be put in to a draw to win 10 Dojos. There will be one random winner from each class.  To ensure your child is entered into this weekly draw, all you have to do is make sure they are in school on time every day.  Thank you for your continued support.

From September the children on school dinners  going into Year 3 will need to start paying for them. The price for school dinners will be going up to £3.10.

If you think you may be entitled to free school meals you can apply online: https://www.rochdale.gov.uk/benefits-money/free-school-meals

Please can we remind parents/carers to make the next payment instalment on Parent Mail as soon as possible. Payment is required in order to secure your child’s place on the residential visit.

You can pay on Parent Mail– payments and then shop.

Thank you.

Well done to Zaynah and Afnaan  for being chosen as Breakfast Club Superstars!

FREE Summer Reading Challenge at the                library!

You can make a huge difference by encouraging your pupils to take part in the Summer Reading Challenge. It’s the UK’s biggest reading for  pleasure programme for children aged 4 to 11, delivered via public libraries. Children can sign up for free at their local    library or online.

How it works:

· Children can sign up at their local library, where they will receive a special sticker booklet.

· They set a summer reading goal and choose books, eBooks, or audiobooks of their choice – logging their reading will earn sticker        rewards.

· Libraries will be running a programme of free themed events and activities this summer!

· Children who complete the Challenge are presented with a certificate. You could organise a special assembly to present the certificates in the new term.

Children can take part online if they prefer! www.summerreadingchallenge.org.uk
