School News 17th May 2013

Children's Parade
Thank you to everyone who came along for the Children’s Parade.

We had a really good turn out of children and family members especially as the weather wasn’t that brilliant – in particular at the end! The children all looked wonderful and the Samba Band were probably the best we have had. Well done to everyone involved. Thank you to Mrs Bedding, Mrs Horscroft and Mrs Pain for sorting out all the costumes and art work and Chris for leading the Samba Band.

There are some lovely photographs on the website of the Parade.

Parking Outside the School
Thank you to all the parents and carers who park safely and away from the zig zag lines every day. It is much appreciated. As you know the yellow zig zag lines are there as a measure for keeping children safe as they leave the school. By people not parking on them research shows it is less likely for accidents to happen. I would be grateful if the few people who do park on them at the end of the day didn’t, to ensure we keep all our children safe at the end of the day.

Walk to School Week – or cycle or scoot!
Monday 20th May: dress up as an Eco-hero who saves the planet. Prizes for the best costume.

Tuesday 21st May Dr Bike session – in the playground all day. Bring in your bike to be serviced/repaired

No smoking poster competition

We would like everyone to design a no-smoking poster at home to be displayed outside our school gates.  We think that all posters should:

* Have a clear message
* Have examples of the dangers of smoking (not too much writing though!)
* Have pictures
* Be colourful

All posters need to be handed in by Friday 24th May. 
There will be 3 main prizes and small prizes for everyone that takes part. 
Information will be given out this week.
