Dear families of our St. Luke’s children,

Christmas Fair

A massive THANK YOU to our PTA and volunteers who helped make the Christmas Fair a big success.  It was lovely to see so many of our children and their families at the event.  Thank you all for coming and being part of our first Christmas event of the year!

Christmas Dinner

Please can you let us know by Monday 11th December if your child is not having Christmas dinner at school on the 15th.  You can either text or email Mrs Hukin in the office to let us know.  Email is info@st-lukes.derbyshire.sch.uk, text number is 07786201170.  If the children would like to wear a Christmas jumper or t-shirt on that day, please feel free to send them in than that.  If, like lots of people, they hate the feel of Christmas jumpers, they can just come in their school uniform.

Kestrel’s Nativity

Our reception class are putting on a nativity show for the parents/carers on Monday 18th December at 9.15am.  If you haven’t filled in the online form for tickets, please contact the office ASAP so that we can make sure a space is reserved for you.

Christmas Carols in Norfolk Square

The choir have been asked to sing a song at the Carol Service in Norfolk Square on Friday 15th December.  The children would need to gather at the Square with myself and Mrs Hillier at 5.30pm so we can get ready to sing at 5.45pm.  I will send out a Google Form on Monday 11th so we can see who is likely to attend.

Parents’ Choir

Thank you so much to the parents that have put themselves forward for the parents’ song in church on the 22nd December.  The rehearsals sound great and I know the children will love having some of the parents taking part in the service.  There’s one more rehearsal on Thursday 14th straight after school so if you’d still like to take part, we’d love to see you there.

Key Stage 2 fruit

A quick reminder that the deadline for signing up for fruit (Jan to Easter) in KS2 is Friday 15th December.

Wishing you all a restful weekend.

Dear families of our St. Luke’s children,

It has been another busy week here at St. Luke’s.  On top of all of our usual endeavours, Year 3 have been to offer their support to the Hummingbird Project in Glossop, Year 2 have had a trip out to watch Frozen Junior at Glossopdale High School and everyone who should have had their flu immunisations has now had the chance to have them!

A message from our Pupil Parliament

Dear Parents

We are writing to let you know that we shall be having a stall at the Christmas Fair to raise money for some special days in school.  If you are able to donate anything (reasonable condition & working) that we could sell on a second-hand stall we’d be very grateful.

Thank you

School Parliament

Christmas Festivities

We have sent the letter out about the Year 1 and 2 Christmas play.  Please make sure you return your slips as soon as possible so that we can allocate seating.

Don’t forget it is our Christmas Fair on December 1st starting at 5pm.  We look forward to seeing you all there.  We have a non-uniform day next Friday (24th November) where the children can come dressed in whatever they would like (sensible clothes only please – no dinosaur costumes or similar, I’m looking at you Mr Groarke!) In exchange for wearing non-uniform the PTA are asking for donations of bottles of things – wine, fizzy drinks, shampoo etc. etc.

Kestrel’s Nativity

Our reception class are putting on a nativity show for the parents/carers on Monday 18th December at 9.15am.  We only have capacity for 2 audience places per family due to Health and Safety constraints.  We’ll send out ticket letters for this on Monday.

Christmas Carol Service St Luke’s Church

We are hoping to set up a parents/carers choir to sing a carol at the service on the last day of term as we thought it would be lovely for the children to see their parents/carers singing for them.  We know this won’t appeal to everyone but we will send out a Google Form next week to see who is interested.

World Diabetes Day

Thank you to all who took part in World Diabetes Day.  It was lovely to see the event embraced by so many.  The school raised £237.39 for the National Diabetes Society on that day.  Thank you very much for your generosity.

Wishing you all a restful weekend.

Dear families of our St. Luke’s children,

Welcome back from your half term holiday.  We were very glad to see all of our children back safe and sound and they’ve clearly all had a good break and are pleased to be back in school and ready to learn.  Our Year 5s had a great time at the Glossopdale dance session and did a great job as ambassadors for St. Luke’s. I am very proud of them all.

Year 3 Classroom

We have moved our year 3 classroom from their original space into what was the Questionarium (non-fiction library.). We felt that the space that the children were in wasn’t as good as it could be so we made the decision to convert the library space into their new classroom.  They are so much more comfortable in there and they are significantly less disrupted by people travelling through their learning space to access other parts of the school.  A big team of parent volunteers have helped us to create the new KS2 library space.  This work is ongoing but we hope to have everything completed within the next couple of weeks.

Flu Immunisations

The immunisations team is back in on Tuesday 14th.  All remaining vaccinations (non-injections) will be carried out on that day.

World Diabetes Day

We are taking part in World Diabetes day on Tuesday 14th November.  We would love it if your child would come to school wearing something blue and with a small donation so that we can raise some money for the National Diabetes Association.  We have now (and had previously) children in school who have the condition so it would be lovely to show them that we support them and other children who have diabetes.

Glossop Jog

If you took part in the Glossop Jog, please can you bring your money that you raised into school next week?  The Rotary Club are keen to finalise the amount they have raised for their charity.

Frozen  

Year 2 are off to watch Frozen Junior at Glossopdale on Tuesday next week.  If your child is in Year 2, they will be back in time to have their immunisations so don’t worry.  They will be walking to and from Glossopdale so we have asked for some volunteers to help us get the children there safely.  I am sure they are going to have a great time.

Wishing you all a restful weekend.

With best wishes

Dear families of our St. Luke’s children,

We are very sad to say that our lovely Mrs Evans, School Business Assistant extraordinaire, is leaving us.  Next Tuesday will be her last week at St. Luke’s.  Mrs Evans has been with us for six years and has been a superb member of the staff team caring for all of us as well as the children.  We will miss her immensely and wish her well in her retirement.

Disco

The school discos are next Thursday – Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 3.30 – 4.30pm and years 3,4,5 and 6 from 5.00 – 6.30pm.  Please see the PTA newsletter for details about tickets and stamp cards or call in to the office if you have any questions.

Thank you PTA!

We are very lucky to have such a lovely bunch of people in our PTA.  This week a team of them gave up their day to put up the new shed for the Reception children to be able to store their bikes in the playground.  If you want to know the answer to how many people does it take to put up an 8ft by 6ft Keter shed – let me know!  (hint:  it was much longer than instructions said it would be!). We would be stuck without our bands of willing volunteers, particularly with all of the exciting projects that are happening around the school.  Please see Chika Jones or Rosie Howell if you want to be part of the teams helping us to make those projects work.

Flu Immunisations

Unfortunately, the immunisations team were unable to complete all of the immunisations today as they were delayed in arriving here.  Immunisations for years R, 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be done at another time.  If your child was in Years 6 or 5 or were having the jab rather than the nasal spray, they received their immunisation today.

Emails

We think that the issue with emails has been resolved as no emails are bouncing back to us.  If you are not getting copies of the newsletters or anything else that is being sent out, please contact the office and we’ll see why this is.

INSET on Friday 27th October

Just a reminder that school finishes for the children at the end of the day on Thursday 26th October as the staff have a training day on the 27th October.

 

Wishing you all a restful weekend.

 

With best wishes

Mrs Rogers
