Dear Parents/Carers
A few announcements and reminders for this week:
School Council
Article 12 of the UNCRC states that every child has the right to have their voices heard in matters that affect them. With this in mind we cannot wait to get the School Council up and running so that our children can share ideas, take discussions back to classes and ALL children can be involved in decision making in a democratic way. A huge well done to everyone brave enough to put themselves forward. Classes have now voted and the results have been counted! Congratulations to our new School Councillors. Representing Year 5 and 6 are:
Ruby: Leo
Sapphire: Byron
Topaz: Ellie
Poppies
Next week, the children will have the opportunity to purchase poppies within class. As well as the poppies, there are some other Royal British Legion merchandise (such as key rings, wrist bands and stationery) which can be purchased. The suggested donation for these items are 50p for a poppy and £1 for other items. If you wish your child to get any of these, then please send them in with their money any day next week.
New Collection Arrangements
From today there was a slight change to the collection arrangements at the end of the day. These will continue next week. Year 5/6 parents are invited onto the playground at the end of the day to collect their children. Please be aware that if your child walks home independently, they will leave after the rest of their class have been collected.
Homework
There will be no Year 5/6 homework this week. Please ensure that your child reads and uses TTRS or Sumdog. Homework from the CGP books will resume next week.
Have a lovely weekend, enjoy the fireworks if you are taking part in Bonfire Night. Stay safe!
Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin and Mrs Witherall
