Dear Parents,

Thank you to our fabulous clarinettist who treated us to a great concert last Friday. They are making great progress musically.

Congratulations to the Sportshall Athletics squad who came second. Mr Cooke tells me they all did really well. Some were a little nervous but everyone was rightly proud of themselves by the end.

The Great Schools Birdwatch is underway and our budding ornithologists are all busy spotting birds. Our birds will be the best fed birds in Britain as everyone in Key Stage One has become very enthusiastic about making bird feeders.

The Kites class has just moved back into their classroom which looks great with its new ceiling and lights. The next area to be done is the offices so please be patient with us if it takes a little longer to respond to requests or to find anything! We rely so heavily on electricity and as the major part of the job is a rewire we will be working as if we had one hand tied behind our backs.

Next week is the last week before half term and sees the annual House Verse Speaking Challenge on Thursday. The houses are all beavering away learning their poems. If you can help them at all on home I know they would appreciate it.

Tomorrow is disco day 5 – 6.30. Get your dancing shoes on and come on down.

There will be no clarinet lesson on Friday 12th February.

Our thoughts and good wishes go out to Mr Warburton who is trying to come back to work but the doctors keep saying no. As yet we do not know when he will be able to return. We have been very fortunate to have managed to secure the services of supply teachers who can do longer stretches of time rather than odd days so ensuring continuity. Mrs Kearney is able to teach the class next week.

I have been asked to pass on the following notice:

Glossop NE Juniors U8 Girls team
