Dear All,

What a soggy week it has been this week great for ducks and welly wearing children who like jumping in puddles less good for people trying to keep dry. I am sorry about the large puddle that appears by the gate, the council are still promising it will be sorted!  On Monday when there was a torrential downpour just as everyone was arriving at school a problem developed, Keith had to ask people to walk through the car park because the path had turned into a river which should have been safe because parents are not to use it to drop children off.  Unfortunately a number of people decided to drive into the school carpark putting everyone in danger.  Please park outside school we want all the children to be safe.

Despite the wet the children have all been settling well into school. I have seen Anglo Saxons making bread, children working on their handwriting, fish swimming through Kestrels class and crayons being taken on adventures in Peregrines, books being enjoyed and numbers being partitioned.  In other words a happy working school.

I do have some sad news for you Mrs Gallacher’s husband died on Friday. Please hold her and her daughter in your thoughts and prayers.

You know I said last week dates might change well …..having got the dates from Glossopdale I realised our Whitehall meeting clashed with their Open Evening so I have changed the date of the Whitehall meeting to Tuesday 19th September at 6pm.

After school clubs start on Monday.

Next Friday, 22nd September, Eagle’s will be leading our Assembly.  It will be our harvest assembly and we are asking the children to bring in donations for Glossop Food Bank.  The assembly will be in school, do join us if you can.

That Friday is a busy day because it also sees a girl’s football tournament for some of the Y5/6 girls and Scoot and Skate. This is a PTA event.  The children are invited to stay after school for an hour and play on the playgrounds with their scooters or skates.  The cost of this event is £1.  We ask that the children all wear helmets.

I have been given information about a new Boccia Club which is starting up in Glossop on Wednesdays 5-6pm at St Philip Howard School. For further information please contact Jacob Meaton on  07786144414 or via email at jacob@dosportuk.co.uk

Children in Eagles and Merlins have been offered the opportunity to do their Bikeability Course. They should have brought information home.  If you would like them to do it and letters have not come home please ask in the office.

The flu immunisations for Years Reception, 1, 2, 3 & 4 will take place on 13th November.
