Or fancy having a Autumn clear out over the half term then CTK
want to hear fromyou! Our Eco team is again organising a Science
Into Schools collection. Our next
collection date is the 7th November 2013. Your collection bag is
attached together with a leaflet with further information. Our
lastcollection has allowed our ECO team to purchase a paper making
kit, a blender (to help mulch the paper!) and an eco
certificatefolder for each class. Go Recycle!
Foundation Collection and Drop offWith effect from Tuesday, 5th
November, our reception and nursery children will be welcomed into
school through the doors at theback playground. Parents are then
asked to leave the building through the front door, creating a one
way flow of traffic.Following concerns raised by parents and staff
about the safety of children at the start of the day, we have
agreed this is the bestcourse of action. We hope this will also
help a number of families in our other year groups who collect and
drop off from the backplayground. If there is anything you do not
understand, please dont hesitate to ask member of our Foundation
Staff.
Kind regards
Mrs Sarah Smith
