Welcome back!

Welcome back! I hope you all had a great half term break and are now

ready for a busy term ahead! It was fantastic to see so many of you

dressed up for Halloween on Monday, assembly was seriously spooky!

Our new MUGA is in place in the playground and we have developed a clear

rota so that all classes get a chance to take part in activities during break

times, hopefully it will have also improved access into and out of the

playground. Please could all parents and carers support us in ensuring no

children climb on the MUGA before or after school. We have spoken to the

children and made it clear that if they are found climbing they will be

moved straight to red.

There’s lots to look forward too this half term!

Movember

As many of you will have already seen from our

blog and Facebook page we are raising aware-

ness of testicular and prostate cancer during

November! Movember—the name being used

and our Mo Bros—Mr Shepherd, Mr Fletcher ,

Mr Lawton, Mr Hill and Mr Lowe will all be

growing moustaches over the course of the

month! Please give them lots of

encouragement! It would be great to see some

parents/carers joining in too!

Have a good weekend!

Uniform

There have been a number of

concerns raised by parents re-

garding missing uniform. If be-

longings are found they are al-

ways placed in the lost property

box.

All staff try really hard to en-

courage children to look after

their belongs by either putting

them in their drawer or on their

peg.

Could all parents/carers ensure

that names are put in all items of

clothing and if the wrong

jumper/cardigan etc is taken

home by mistake that it is

returned to school.

Many thanks.
