Red Oaks Primary School 21st February 2018 Value this term The value this term is RESPECT and we will be thinking about this in whole school assemblies. As usual, children and parents are invited to respond to the questions this term under the values section of the website. These responses will be shared from time to time in assembly. http://www.redoaks.org/values01.php Hair and make up A polite request for no extreme hairstyles to make an appearance at school please. This includes shaved zigzags and patterns and unnatural colours please. Make up, temporary tattoos and nail varnish are not part of school uniform and children will be asked to remove these. Thank you for your support and help with our smart appearance. Car Park We all know that the car park can be a very busy place at drop off and pick up times and at times this can be frustrating. We ask that adults consider the language they use towards others at all times as there are many children around that can overhear unpleasant and threatening exchanges and become upset. Thank you. Girl Guiding & Scouting -Thinking Day or Founder’s Day – TOMORROW - 22 nd February You may be aware that, in Girl Guiding and Scouting, they have a special day on 22 nd February called Thinking Day or Founder’s Day. On that day all members of Girl Guiding and Scouting celebrate to remember their founders and pioneers, Lord Baden-Powell and his wife, Lady Baden-Powell, both of whom were born on 22 nd February. On that day they think about the Promise, our Girl Guiding and Scouting heritage and their members around the globe, as they both have organisations all over the world. This year, unusually, 22nd February is on a school day and tradition is that all members wear their uniform on that day, to shout out about Girl Guiding and Scouting, and to show the world that both organisations are still very much alive and going strong in the 21st Century! With that in mind any of our pupils who are members of Girl Guiding and Scouting are invited to wear their uniform tomorrow - Thursday 22nd February.
