Dear Parents,
Well, there is huge excitement around school because of the possibility of snow!!! Kestrels have already taken advantage of the cold weather and made ice sculptures overnight. I will always try to keep school open no matter what the weather, however it is always dependent on the number of staff members that can get into school safely. If I have to close school I will let everyone know via the texting service and the website, if you hear nothing school is open.
The school is going cycling mad this week and into next with children working hard on their Bikeability training, you might remember it as cycling proficiency. Well done to everyone for how well they are doing.
Tomorrow is an exciting day with the Kites visiting the Air raid shelters, and the Harriers treating us and you to a clarinet concert in assembly. The Kites can come dressed as evacuees tomorrow if they want to.
If you have a pre-school child who will turn 4 by the end of August the closing date for applications for a primary school place is midnight on Sunday (15th January). If you have not applied yet you can do this on line at www.derbyshire.gov.uk/admissions or by phoning call Derbyshire on 01629 533190.
I have had an email from the BBC who are looking for families interested in taking part in the next series of Eat Well for Less, that is the programme where Greg Wallace and Chris Bevin help families reduce their food bill and still eat tasty food. If you are interested in finding out more the contact details are: 0117 970 7698 Or e-mail:eatwell@rdftelevision.com www.facebook.com/EatWellForLess Twitter:@EatWellForLess
The very popular PTA quiz is back! The date of the quiz is on Friday 27th January 7.30. Tickets cost £3 with an optional chippy supper for a further £3. Tickets will be available from the office from Friday.
I am attaching this terms dates as always they may change. There is one more INSET day which I am trying to finalise. The staff will be updating their first aid on that day and I am waiting for a date from the trainers. As soon as I know I will let you know.
Next Friday 20th January the Peregrines will be leading our assembly, I hope you can join us.
There are a few Fridays where there are no volunteers available to make the toast. If you might be able to spare a little bit of time on a Friday morning to help let us know in the office and we will pass your details on to Mrs Williamson who does the rota
