Please remember that our school is a healthy one and we promote and encourage healthy eating throughout the school. Thank you for your co-operation.

 

Reminder – Breakfast Club

Please be reminded that after half term children will only be allowed entry into Breakfast Club if a place has been booked and confirmed. The week we return is fully booked, but if you need to book for future weeks please obtain a form from the school office. Please be assured that we are doing our utmost to resolve the situation and make more places available.

Thank you to all parents and pupils for their harvest donations. The assembly was attended by some of the recipients – residents from the Mulberry Drive OAP complex who thanked the children for their generosity.

 

Let’s Grow – Morrison’s vouchers 

The Morrison’s Let’s Grow scheme finishes on Sunday 1st November 2009. Please remember to send in any vouchers you have collected for us in order that we can ‘purchase’ lots of resources for our Local Food project.

 

Interested in Fostering?

On Tuesday 27th October at 7.00 pm at the Orsett Hall, Thurrock Fostering in partnership with Thurrock Council, will be holding an open evening for anyone interested in fostering. For more information call 0800 652 1256 or visit www.thurrockfostering.gov.uk.

 

Un-named Clothing

It is that time of year again when children are taking off their fleeces and coats during breaks and leaving them around the school. Named clothing is returned to the correct owner - unnamed clothing cannot, and as such we have lots of lost property already piling up. Please ensure that property is claimed within seven days. 

 

Tuck Shop

It has been brought to our attention this week that many children are bringing money to school. The only money that pupils should bring to school is dinner money and a maximum of 50p tuck money.

 

Football Cards

These are causing arguments in the playground. Could we please ask parents to ensure that these are kept at home. Thank you for your co-operation.

 

And finally…

…we say goodbye and good luck to Mrs Carter, who is leaving today to have her baby. All the pupils and staff (and I am sure many parents too) send their good wishes to you as you begin the next exciting chapter in your life. Keep us posted!        

 

Please remember to put clocks back this Sunday 25th October

 

As next week is the Autumn half term holiday we will see you back

at school at 8.50 am on Monday 2nd November.
