Well done!
Parentview - as we may be receiving a
visit from Ofsted during this academic
year, we would be really grateful if as
many parents as possible could please go
online and fill in the parentview
questionnaire for Ofsted. It is very
brief.
You can do this by going to
https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/ Thank
you.
Reminder - KS2 Home Learning.
Pupils need to know the titles of their
periods in time project for Monday 16th
January and their home learning of
author, artist, musician or chef needs to
be brought in ready for display on
Wednesday 18th January.
Please note that Sports club is open to all
ages and not Year 1 upwards as per the
previous newsletter. Please get in touch
with the office if you have a child in
Reception who would like to join. Sorry for
any confusion caused.

he might have paid for it in coins.
How many sides does a hexagon have?
Breakfast Club is going really well.
It will
continue to run on Mondays, Tuesdays and
Wednesdays at a cost of £1 per day. We had 11
pupils coming last week and it was a lovely start to
the day. If anyone would like to join in next week,
you are more than welcome. We are still looking
for donations of cereals, long life juice and bread.
This helps us keep the cost down to a minimum. A
huge thank you to the parent volunteers and PFA
who are helping run and organise it.
PE Kits. As some of our PE will be inside this
term because of the weather, pupils need full
outdoor and indoor PE kits.
Outside PE Kits - include shorts/tracksuit
bottoms, t shirts/sweatshirts (depending on the
weather) & trainers/plimsolls with socks.
Inside PE Kits - include shorts, t shirts, bare feet
.
or plimsolls with socks.
Well done!

Before Christmas we
sent home letters to
parents of pupils who
suffer from asthma. We
would be very grateful if
they could please let
school know exactly what
the dosage and
frequency of the
medication is during the
school hours. We need
to start logging inhaler
use and would be
grateful for
clarification. All inhalers
kept in school need to be
labelled.
PFA are asking if you could fill
jam jars with your spare pennies.
It is a scheme Donyatt has used
for fundraising and we are
hoping we can be as successful!
Just
call
into
school
to
collect/drop off your jars.
Thank you.
Uniform - please can you check
your child's uniforms. Some are
missing and may have been taken
home by accident. Thank you.
Please clearly label all uniform.
