Dear Parents,

I hope you all had a good if soggy week off school. It has been lovely to see the children back and enjoying some sunshine even if it is a bit chilly. The electricians did an amazing job and managed to rewire and re-ceiling the whole of the Kestrel / Peregrine classroom area across half term so they only had to be out for a bit of Monday morning. They are busy doing their cloakroom and the library at the moment. The children are being so sensible about having to use Osprey’s door. The next big area to be done is Osprey’s classroom which will probably be started some time next week or the week after.

Congratulations to Holly House which won the House Verse Speaking Competition. They won by a whisker, the cat’s whisker their poem was about. Well done to everyone the judge was amazed at the quality of the children’s work.

Congratulations also to the children who were selected to be part of the High Peak football team as they got through to the final.

Next Thursday 3rd March is World Book Day the children can come dressed as their favourite character from a book.

The big choir concert with Kinder Children’s Choir is almost here. The children are going to Hayfield School for a rehearsal on Friday 4th March and the concert is on Sunday 6th march at 3pm. If you would like tickets they can be ordered from the school office. Even if you don’t have a child in choir if you fancy a day out in Buxton combined with a great concert you would be very welcome.

Remember those clarinets for tomorrow Harriers.

It is Education Sunday on Sunday and St Luke’s Church have invited you all to their service at 10am celebrating all those in education.

Harriers class have a trip to the Hat Museum organised for next Wednesday. If you haven’t yet sent in the permission slip please do so.

The Eagles have been invited to spend the morning at Glossopdale on Friday 4th March.

The Harriers and Kites are busy preparing their production for 6pm on Tuesday 22nd March and 2pm on Wednesday 23rd March, letters about tickets will be out soon.

A number of people have complained to me about parents parking in the car park at the beginning and end of the day. There is not enough room in the carpark for this to be safe and it must not happen. I have also seen children being walked across the carpark rather than use the paths, it may be a little bit further but it is a whole lot safer!
