Teddy’s

Corner

Good Work Certificates

Teddy has had a busy time over the last 2 weeks. He has had a growth spurt whilst on his half term holiday and also lost one of his larger baby teeth!

He enjoyed walking round school today looking at the children’s funny wigs and hair as we raise money

for Children in Need. He even tried to join in himself!

The children continue to send lovely pictures and letters into Teddy, here are two he received this week.

Thank you children

Children in Year One and Year Two will be walking to St Giles church on Monday for a special Remembrance Service.

Harvest Assembly & Scarecrows!

Well done to everyone who brought a scarecrow in for our Scarecrow Festival in October. They were fabulous and the School looked

amazing with them all dotted around. The winners were 19, 60 & 34.

There is a prize at the School Office for the winners!

Please come and collect all your Scarecrows from school as soon

as possible.

Children in Need, Silly Hair & Wigs

Please return your photo consents as soon as possible, to ensure that your child can

have their school photo taken on: Thursday 14th November.

Without your specific consent, your child will not have a school photo taken.

Story Sacks, Family Learning

Sessions

Taking Care! In the Autumn term all our children take part in a

programme called ‘Taking Care’. This programme runs from Nursery to Year 2 and is specifically designed to teach young

children about keeping themselves safe.

The main principles of the programme are to teach your children:-

1.How to recognise their ‘Early Warning Signs’ (EWS) - signs that they are not feeling safe.

2.To know what these EWS mean, and that they need to tell a trusted adult when they have them.

3.To identify adults with whom they feel safe (this will also include someone in school).

4.The correct names for body parts - this ensures that there are no misunderstandings when a child

is sharing their EWS with a trusted adult.

Your child will come home with work covered during these

sessions; please take the time to discuss this with them and reinforce this very important message. If you have any

questions, please ask your child’s class teacher.

Diwali Dancing

To celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights, we are holding a Diwali Dancing Day on

Friday 15th November.

Poppy Class, Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 children will be taking part.

Please return your letter and £3 contribution by Thursday 14th November.

Medication

Only medication that is prescribed more than 3 times daily can be administered by school.

The medication will need to be brought in daily, and a form completed on the first day.

School can only administer medication that has been prescribed by a GP. The

medication must have the official chemist label on it, with the child’s

name and instructions for administering the medicine.
