Gledhow Primary School

Newsletter no. 20

Week beginning 22nd February 2016

Dear Parents / Carers

The snowdrops in the grounds are looking beautiful and make us think that Spring is just around the corner! Mr White, our groundsman, has been keeping a watchful eye on the flower beds and maintaining them ready for the new season. Although the weather is still very chilly, we have lots to look forward to, both inside and outside school.

SATS Information for Parents of Y2 and Y6 Pupils

On Wednesday 2nd March, parents of Year 2 and Year 6 pupils are invited to a meeting where you will receive information about the SATs process that will be taking place in the Summer term. The meeting (for parents / guardians only) starts at 3.30 and is expected to be finished by 4.30. Please come along to the main entrance where you will be directed to Mr Welch’s classroom.

Morning Routine in the Key Stage 1 Area – Please Help

Please could you help our morning routine by allowing the classes that use the link corridor between the Reception classrooms and the main building, to go into school before parents exit the playground through that route. At the moment, this area is becoming a little too congested, which results in issues as we need to be sure that children are going into school and not getting caught up with parents who are leaving the area. Many thanks.

Book Fair

A big ‘Thank you’ to everyone who bought books at our recent Book Fair. We have raised an amazing total of £637.31!! This has been used to order new books for the library. Thank you, too, to Mrs Ward who arranged the event for us.

Mothers’ Day Shop

The PSA will be running a Mothers’ Day shop at the end of school on Friday 26th February and Friday 4th March. This is an opportunity for children to choose a wrapped gift for this special occasion.

4LW’s Family Assembly – CHANGE OF DATE
