‘The best that I can be’
Happy Chinese New Year!
Reception and Class 1 and 2 treated us to a great song this morning, telling the story of the animals in the Chinese Zodiac. They made masks and are having a Chinese food tasting session this afternoon.
Justice and Equality
We have been talking about Justice in collective worship and in Class 5/6 R.E sessions this week. Two of our girls attended the Women’s March last Saturday and shared their experiences with us. It is great to see that our children care about and are willing to stand up for people’s rights.
Swimming Day Clothes
Please could all girls who go swimming please wear socks rather than tights on swimming days. This is because the children are no longer allowed to put their shoes and socks on in the changing rooms and it is not really appropriate to put tights on in a public space.
School Nurse Drop-in
Our school nurse will be holding a drop-in session from 8.30am on Thursday 2nd February. These sessions are for any parent who has health concerns about their child and would like some advice. Please do come and see her if you have any concerns.
SQuid Payments
Our online payment system should be up and running soon. You will each receive a letter to inform you of your account and log-in details. In the meantime, please continue to buy dinner tickets for KS2 children.
