Good Work Certificates
Teddy has also returned to school after his Christmas holiday. He has had a trim and received a new bow-tie from Father Christmas. He now looks very smart!
He has been busy around the school the week
meeting the children, and even watched some of the Cinderella pantomime with
Mrs Hillyard!

Happy New Year & Census Day
Happy New Year and welcome back. The children have all come in ready for an exciting Spring Term and already enjoyed our postponed Cinderella pantomime.
CENSUS DAY
Thursday 16th
January 2020 You may already be aware through the press, school budgets are constantly being
reduced, meaning schools have less money to spend on their children.
One of the ways schools funding is determined is by the number of children taking a school lunch on census day. A school lunch is defined as “foods made available by
the school for consumption by the pupil”
This data is used to inform the allocation of universal infant free school meal funding based on average figures from census returns.
Therefore, it is important that YOUR child requests a school dinner on this day.
As a thank you, all those children that select a school lunch on 16th
January will receive a funky stretchy man.
Please encourage your child to have a school dinner on this day.
There is a special menu, a copy is at the back of the newsletter.
(They may still bring a packed lunch as a backup)
E-Safety Parent Workshop
Friday 31st January 9.15-11.15am
We are offering a free 2 hour workshop to learn how to help your child stay safe online. This will be delivered by the Local Authority and will include;
how young people are groomed on-line
signs to look out for
Apps & games that young people are using
an insight into the dark web
tips & security measures that you can put in place to protect your child
Risks to children on-line are changing all the time, so even if you’ve attended a previous workshop please come along to update your knowledge.

‘practise makes perfect!’

Everyone who purchased the bundle last year found the books very helpful
in preparation for their child’s SAT’s.
