Hawes Primary School

CANCER RACE FOR LIFE

We are very grateful to those people who have already donated online.

So far we have raised £775.10 + £111.25 gift aid. We have exceeded

our target of £500.00 and we are now looking to reach £1000.00 with

your help. Please encourage family and friends to donate, we have all

been affected by cancer in some way and if we can, as a school, help to

raise as much money as possible to fund research into a cure ,then I think we can all be very

proud.

school we will NOT let your child get on a taxi unless they are eligible for school transport.

Thank you for your support.

Class 1 Baptism

On Thursday afternoon Class 1 celebrated the

Baptism of Patrick Oscar Hawes. Rev Dave

came and the children dressed up in their

‘posh’ clothes. We learnt all about the Baptism

service and the different promises that the

family and Godparents have to make. We

sang a hymn and Rev Dave poured water on

the baby’s head and the parents and Godpar-

ents made a sign of the cross on the baby’s

forehead with Rev Dave’s special perfumed

oil. We said special prayers and blessings for

Patrick. After the service, the children enjoyed

a piece of cake (made by Mrs Fothergill) played party games and danced until we dropped. Lots of fun

and learning happened.

Class 4

The whole of Class 4 are going to the Dock museum at Barrow in

Furness on Wednesday 11th July, accompanied by Mrs Marwood

and Mrs Metcalfe. They need to be in school by 8.45am for regis-

tration as they will be leaving at 9am prompt travelling on Foster’s

coach. Children will need a packed lunch and drink, in a rucksack.

The PTFA are giving £200.00 towards the cost so we would be

grateful for a voluntary contribution of £3.00 per child to cover the additional cost. This needs to be

paid via Parentpay. Thank you Children can bring £3.00 pocket money.

Y6 Leaver’s Trip

Mrs Marwood and Mr Greenway will be taking

the Year 6 children to Lightwater Valley on

Thursday 28th June. The PTFA have very kindly

agreed to pay for the coach and entrance, so

there won’t be any cost to parents. Children

will need to be in school for 8.45am for registra-

tion as they will be leaving at 9am prompt, trav-

elling on Foster’s coach. Children will need a

packed lunch and drink, in a rucksack. They will return back to school around 4.30pm. Children can

bring £5.00 spending money.

PE Kits

Children need their PE KIT in school every week. Please could you bring on a Monday and take

home on a Friday to wash. It is a good idea to have some tracksuit bottoms in the bag in case

the weather is colder .

Please send your child in with a named water bottle every day.

Class 3 Violins

Children in Class 3 must bring their violins into school every Thursday for their music lesson

Nut Allergy

We have a child in school who has an allergy to nuts therefore please be aware that

products containing nuts onto the

premises. Thank you for your support .

Universal Credit earning threshold for free school meals from 1 April

From 1 April 2018, the government are introducing a Universal Credit earning threshold of £7,400 per year for free school meal eligibility.

This means that some families who are eligible now would not be if they apply after 1 April. Also, children eligible for free school meals by 1 April will continue to receive them until at least 2022, without the need for further eligibility checks while Universal Credit is rolled out across the coun-try. If you receive Universal Credit and are not already claiming free school meals for your children, or you have not applied as your child is currently in Key Stage 1 (universal free school meals), make sure you don’t miss out and please apply now (pdf / 189 KB).

Reminders

Please ensure that you let the office know of any changes to home time arrangements and check the newsletter for club infor-

mation. The newsletters are on the website for reference- if you are not sure if clubs are on or not.

As part of being a healthy school, we encourage children to drink water to keep them hydrated, especially in the heat. Children

have access to cold water from our water fountain in the corridor so can refill their bottle when necessary.

Jewellery

Uniform

Please ensure that all jumpers are named, now that the weather is getting warmer they are being taken off and left-at least if it

has a name it will work its way back to the rightful owner.

PE Kits

Children need their PE KIT in school every week. Please could you bring on a Monday and take home on a

Friday to wash. It is a good idea to have some tracksuit bottoms in the bag in case the weather is colder .

SPORTS CLUBS

for health and safety reasons. Thank you for your support with this matter.
