Football Competition Gateway Academy

GLC CUP: Lansdowne entered two teams in the tournament and team 1 won all their games to top the league whilst team 2 narrowly missed out on 2nd position. Team 1 then went on to play Gateway in the final and even though had already beaten them 2-0 earlier they unfortunately lost 2-0. The boys played extremely well and it was good to see promising young footballers coming through the ranks ready for next year.

Dear Parents, Carers and Friends, We are reaching the end of term and just to remind you we break up on Friday for two weeks and return on Tuesday 18th April 2017. We would like to thank you for your continued support with ensuring your child is wearing the correct uniform. Please continue to do this next term and make sure your child has the correct footwear.

Co-op Funeral Care donation of Mothering Sunday flowers

I’m sure along with us you would like to thank the Co-op for donating so many lovely flowers to all our lower school pupils to take home to their mums/carers to celebrate Mothering Sunday. One parent asked “how was the school able to fund the amount of flowers given out” “what a lovely surprise, I’m a very happy mum”

Lunch Menu This week we have a special Easter lunch on Wednesday 29th March 2017.

Roast Turkey with Yorkshire pudding/Quorn Fillet Roast Potatoes and Seasonal Vegetables

Decorated Easter Cake New menus will begin when we return after Easter please look out for your new menu on Friday. We begin on the 18th April with Week 1.

Please be reminded that School lunches will be increasing from £2.05 to £2.10 per

day after the Easter break.

Prams and buggies

In line with Health & Safety and Fire Safety could we please ask that no prams and buggies are brought into the school premises as the corridors get very busy at the beginning and the end of the day and we would like to avoid any congestion.

Head lice

We would like to ask all parents to check their children’s hair over the Easter break and treat accordingly. Thankyou

Attendance

Overall school attendance still remains at 94.7%.

Congratulations to class 4D who maintain their 1st place position for the highest overall school attendance at 96.8% . 5B have again moved back into second position at 96.5% now closely followed by 3T at 96.3%. Will Miss Dunne and 4D maintain their lead and win the Class Attendance Cup next week?

In the penultimate week of the March Attendance challenge we have a new lead with class 5H at 97.5% and 3T only 0.3% behind with both classes aiming to win their second iPad. A special mention to class R2N who are still in the top 6 attending classes in the March challenge.

2W have chosen “Finding Dory” and class 1T have chosen “Big Hero 6” for their DVD and popcorn treat and they will be enjoying watching their films next week.

Class 5W have been set a task to promote their class attendance which was struggling at 94.1%. In just two weeks this has improved by 0.3% so keep us this fantastic effort. If their attendance continues to rise, every pupil who has contributed to the success and has achieved 96% or above will receive a special Easter treat.

Just a reminder….children that receive a yellow/orange catch up card need to come to Room 101 at break time alongwith some work to complete. Many thanks for your support with this as we have seen a dramatic reduction in the number of children arriving late into school.

Star Learning Zone This week’s winners of the Learning Star Zone is 2W well done! Pupils achieve Star Zone for demonstrating exceptional learning skills or behaviours. They will be given a certificate and STAR pupil for that week is selected from each class and awarded a certificate in assembly. Each week the class achieving the highest number of star zone pupils will receive the Star Zone cup and be added to the Winners board by the main office. A prize will be issued to the class that wins this the most in each term. Well done!
