sunny

weather,

meaning

that wecould enjoy

ice creams

at

Tattenhall

Ice Cream

Farm, walks

around

Tattenhall

and playing

on the activities at the Centre. The

children also took part in art and

dance activities and enjoyed a

wonderful show about Creepy

ISSUE 12 / SPRING TERM 2013 / MONDAY 18TH MARCH 2013

The children were really sensiblegoing to sleep at night and slept until

6am...not too bad!

RED NOSE DAY

The children have had a wonderful

day, enjoying dressing up and having

fun. Many thanks for all your hard

work with costumes etc.

We raised over 140 for Red Nose

Day

I would like to apologise

about the short notice that

many parents have spoken to

me about for this event. Mrs

S Evans sent an email out to

children via the Learning

Platform; however, I now

realise that this was not

effective.

COMMUNICATIONWith the thoughts

above in mind, and

having spoken to a

number of parents

regarding the

communication from

school, I have many

positive comments

about being kept informed via my

newsletter and through emails and

texts. However, I have an increasingnumber of parents who dont feel

that the communication from school

is effective, or that it is too last

minute. Also that too many texts arebeing sent out. Please be assured that

I am looking into this and working with

staff to ensure that sufficient notice

is given and that appropriate means of

communication are used.

I would be grateful for any feedback,

both positive and negative.

PTFA NEWS

During the past week, the PTFA have

bought two more iPads for the schooland have also invested 1000 towards

the cost of a play surface for the new

play equipment (school will contribute

towards the rest of the cost). We

hope this will be installed over Easter.

This will allow the children to play,

even when the grass is wet.

Many thanks for all your support with

the money you give to

the PTFA - I know that

the children really

appreciate all the extra

things that can be

bought for them.

Our annual PTFA Easter

Egg hunt is being held

on Sunday 24th March,

2pm to 4pm. Tickets

are just 2.50 which

includes a map to follow

our rainbow trail aroundthe village with a chocolate Easter

Egg at the end. The trail starts and

finishes at the school where we will

also have refreshments, cakes,

hotdogs, crafts, a raffle amongst

other fun and games. This is a lovely

event and everyone is welcome so

please bring along your family and

friends. As always we would be

grateful for donations of cakes to sell

on the day. We would also welcome

any offers of help on the day. If youcan spare half an hour and would like
