Parking Near School A large number of our neighbours are complaining about parents parking cars on double yellow lines around school at drop-off and pick-up times. On Friday Ms Kriel received a call about a near miss, when a child ran into the street from between parked cars. It was difficult for the driver of the car to see the child and for the child to see the road. Please see the page below for a copy of the letter sent home last week to parents and carers. The safety of children and families on the roads around school is paramount. We trust you will support the whole community by abiding by these rules.

Wednesday Coffee Mornings Every Wednesday from 9.00-10.00am there will be a coffee morning held in the Canteen. Each week, one of the school’s leaders will be talking about their area of responsibility. The next meeting is on 9th November. Mr Williams, the Maths Coordinator, will be leading the session talking about Maths in the school. More details will follow in our next newsletter.
Year 2 Cake Sale Before half-term Year 2 held its cake sale. £162 was raised for the charity, War Child. Many thanks to all of you who generously donated cakes, biscuits and time towards this cause. And a massive thank you for your generous donations to this cause.
Forest School – Winter Wrap As you know we provide waterproof clothes for each child attending Forest School. But, as winter approaches and the weather gets wetter and colder, please ensure that your child is warmly wrapped up, wearing warm coats, hats, gloves and thermal socks.
FREE Cook and Eat Courses Do you want to try new cuisines? Do you want to cook healthier meals? The Shoreditch Trust offer free healthy cooking courses to Hackney residents. The courses run for 6 weeks from November to December and are aimed at healthy cooking for the whole family. The nearest venue to school is in the Stamford Hill Community Centre. To find out more and sign up please tap on the link below – http://www.shoreditchtrust.org.uk/health-and-wellbeing/food-for-life/
P.E. – Correct Kit and P.E. Day A number of children are still coming to school with incorrect P.E. kit. Please see the list below for the correct kit. In particular, children are wearing leggings or jogging bottoms that aren’t black. On your child’s P.E. day, your child will come to school in their P.E. kit* (NOT SCHOOL UNIFORM) and wear it for the whole day. Your child needs to wear the school’s P.E. kit:
Black school hoodie (with your child’s name in
house colour)
House colour T-Shirt with your child’s name
Plain black jogging bottoms (Leggings, jogging
bottoms in other colours or with logos are not
acceptable)
Plimsolls or trainers
The P.E. day for each year group is as follows: Monday: Year 2 Tuesday: Nursery & Year 5 Wednesday: Reception, Years 1 & 4 Thursday: Year 3 Friday: Year 6
* Nursery to Year 4 children MUST also come to
school in their P.E. kit on Forest School days. The teachers have sent letters to you about this.
Class Coffee Mornings Class coffee mornings resume next week with Year 1. There’s one every Monday and Friday at 9.00am in the Canteen. A full timetable is published below. It’s a great chance for parents to meet the class teacher and one another. We look forward to seeing you there.
