we have been able to have two performances of aprofessionally
produced pantomime without charge for the children. We arealso
hoping to buy our own stage lighting, in order to give a
moreprofessional ambience to the childrens drama
productions,nativity etc. Im sure you will appreciate all the
benefits of yourfunds being used wisely when we invite you to watch
our nextround of performances next year.On the subject of next

30 MINUTE RULE - COLLECTING CHILDREN EARLY FROM SCHOOLMany
thanks to those parents who are trying to make appointments out of
school
hours. We do appreciate that this is not always possible, but
taking children outduring lesson is disruptive to the whole class
and interrupts the childrens learning.
Please remember, however, if an odd occasion should arise when
you do need to
come to school and collect your child from class during lesson
time, this is not aproblem but please phone the school office least
30 minutes before you arrive tocollect your child - this way we can
have them ready at reception for you, causing less disruptionto
lessons and saving you from unnecessary waiting.
CROSSING LITTLEMOOR LANE AND PARKINGWe now have a Crossing
Patrol Warden, so please impress on your children that they
should use the warden when they try to cross the road. Again we
are asking thatyou park sensitively when you bring and collect your
children, bearing in mind notblocking our neighbours drives or
double parking and causing problems forchildren trying to cross the
roads. Additionally, please do not park ON the
pavement, as buggies and wheelchairs need the space on the
footpath, as well as itbeing dangerous for children if you try to
drive on the path. Thank you for your co-operation.
CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR NEWSLETTERWe are encouraging the children
to contribute to our weekly newsletter with stories,pictures and
items of interest they have done in the classroom our outside
school.The contributions this week are from Year 6. Look out for
more class contributions inthe coming weeks
