NEWSLETTER FOR 23RD APRIL 2007

GENERAL INFORMATION

Tweak of the Week is ´Be enthusiastic´

Best attendance class last week – Mrs Bickerton/Butler
Raffle ticket winner last week was – Thomas Harrison
Well done!

The SEAL theme for this half term is ‘Relationships’. Over this period the children will be considering the important relationships in their lives and some of the feelings that go with these.
We have decided to focus on just 3 homework tasks this half term and these will be sent home with the Friday newsletter, fortnightly. If you would like additional SEAL activities to do at home with your child please contact Miss Wilkinson.

Could we please ask you not to allow the children to run on the grass banking before or after school, or to break off any sticks from the willow structure. The children have been told these rules and we would appreciate your full co-operation in ensuring the school grounds are respected. Thank you.

We would like to make you aware that the Income Threshhold which forms part of the Tax Credit free school meals eligibility category has been increased to £14,495 from 6th April 2007.
