St Luke’s Newsletter
21.9.17
Dear All,
I am afraid I am going to have to start this week’s newsletter with a rant about parking as I am still getting complaints from the neighbours about unsafe and illegal parking. I know parking around school is difficult as it is around all schools however this does not mean people can park on the zig zags, across drives or in the school carpark. All these things put our children in danger. You may need to park a little further away in order to ensure everyone is safe but this is a small price to pay in order to keep children out of danger. We do not want the near misses we have had to become hits!
This week has been a busy week with Year Six visiting St Philip Howard School to take part in a trampoline lesson and the whole school enjoying a production of Wind in The Willows.
Tomorrow, Friday 21st, is our Harvest Festival run by Eagles’ Class, which we are holding in school. We are asking all the children to bring a donation of timed or dried food which will be given to the Glossop food bank. Please do join us if you can.
It is also scoot and skate night on Friday. Children are welcome to stay after school and enjoy an hour of scooting round the playgrounds, something they are not usually allowed to do. It is a PTA fundraiser so we ask for £1 for the privilege and there will be refreshments on sale.
The children in Key Stage 2 who have signed up to bikeability should have had a letter saying which group they are in and so when their bike needs to be in school. If the letter has not made it home please contact the office.
I don’t like doing this just after clubs have started but the staff have a number of meetings after school next week so Cookery Club is cancelled on Tuesday and Key Stage One Club on Thursday.
Glossop Jog is fast approaching, it is on Sunday 8th October. You should have had a letter inviting your child to sign up for this very popular annual event. It is run by Glossop Rotary Club and is a sponsored run, jog, walk, toddle, meander depending on your fitness and inclination. The participants are sponsored for the number of laps they do. A number of parents do the jog with their children. I do hope as many people as possible will take part. If you have mislaid the letter and want to join in please let the office know.
If you are looking for something exciting to do at half term you may be in luck. I have been asked to tell you about the below:
