Dear Parents,

The school is alive with the sound of children reciting poems at the moment as the children prepare for the annual House Verse Speaking Competition.  Your child should have brought the words home.  Please help them learn the poems.  Every year parents are amazed by how well the children learn some challenging poems.  If the words haven’t made it home I can give them another copy.

As well as learning poems Merlin’s are very busy learning a dance to perform at Buxton Opera House on Friday 30^th January and preparing speeches for their class assembly, this Friday 23^rd January.  Everyone is welcome to join us for this assembly.  The Assembly the following Friday, 30^th January, will be led by the Ospreys, again everyone is welcome.

The postponed Rugby tournament which should have been today has again had to be postponed, due to the weather, it will now take place on 29^th January.  This means that unfortunately running club will need to be cancelled on that day.

Mrs McLaren will be back with us full time from Tuesday 27^th January, hooray, which means Monday will be Mrs Beadle’s last day as Kites class teacher, boo.  We are so grateful to her for stepping into Mrs McLaren’s shoes and teaching the class so well.  We will all miss her.  She will however be coming in to do odd supply days so it is not good bye forever.

Remember it is the PTA Quiz night next Friday 30^th January.  Last year this was an event enjoyed by all whether or not they could answer the questions, so do get your tickets early.  Do not worry about having to get a team together this will be done on the night, you can come on your own and make new friends.

The next PTA meeting is 3.30 on Tuesday 3^rd February.  It is straight after school so anyone picking up their children can come.  We will entertain the children whilst the meeting is on.  Please try to come.

I have been sent information about the course below, which looks good.  If ten or more people are interested they would even run it here at St Luke’s
