NEWSLETTER FOR WEEK BEGINNING
Monday 11th January 2010

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Thunk this Week is – 'What if … we never saw the sun?'

Class with the best attendance last week of term was – Y3/4SW and Y3/4JL
Well done!

Well done to Mr Sampson and his band of helpers who have done a fantastic job in clearing paths to around school. Thank you Mr Sampson!

A reminder that if we do have to close the school due to the bad weather details will be posted on our website, Radio Sheffield are informed and a Parentmail email message will be sent. Please do not contact school as this jams our phone lines and even if a message is not left it leaves a missed call which has to be cleared from our answer machine.

Could we remind parents to please send their children with a change of footwear whilst this weather continues.

Well done to Nina Sanderson and Zoe Muirhead whose designs for the DVD covers for the nativity plays will be used for the DVDs that are currently being sold. If you would like to purchase a DVD please send your form back to the office by Friday 15th January. Any late orders will not be able to be accepted as this will delay the production and distribution of the DVDs.
