Sad News Mrs. Harrop will be leaving

Manor Green at the end of this

coming term. Whilst this is sad

news for us, it is exciting news

for Mrs. Harrop as she prepares

to embark on the next exciting

stage of her career. We’re sure

you’ll join us in thanking

Mrs. Harrop for everything she’s

done for us at Manor Green

and wish her all the very best.

Text/App Updates We have been in

contact with

Teachers2Parents

who provide our text

update service. They

have assured us that

the next update of

their app will solve

the ‘dead links’

problem.

In the meantime, you

can delete the app

and the texts will

resume as normal.

When waiting in the foyer,

please do not open the main door

for other visitors – even if you know

them. Thank you for helping to

keep our children safe.

Community News – Litter Pick Tomorrow!

@MGYear3Yellow Recently, 3Y all became chefs

as part of their new theme –

Fairtrade. They learnt how to

make banana and chocolate

muffins using Fairtrade

ingredients. They all had such a

fun time and we hear they

tasted delicious too!

Fantastic Footballers! Huge well done

to our football

team who took

part in a football

tournament and

won!

We’re sure that

you’re all as

proud of our

amazing team

as we are! Well

done, girls!

@MrsOConnor3G After hearing about their

amazing muffins, Mrs. Clegg

asked Y3 to write their recipes

down for her so that she could

make her very own batch. After

some extensive baking and

tasting, Mrs. Clegg confirmed

that they were the best muffins

she’s ever made!

#MakingTheDifference

Litter in the Community – Bin it! As you know from previous newsletters and, no doubt,

from reading concerns online, litter is often raised as a

concern by parents, carers and community members.

Please see the image below to see how you can

make a difference to our community.

Our Core Values at Manor Green This week, children have been completing work around the ‘Care, Share, Fair, Dare’ values that we have at

Manor Green and as part of the Focus-Trust family of academies. These values form part of everything we do

on a day to day basis here at Manor Green. As the year continues, and going further forward, we will

continue to raise the profile of these core values. At Manor Green, we care, we share, we are fair, we dare

and we are healthy and happy.

Look out next week for a special edition of the ‘Manor Green Weekly’ celebrating our core

values of ‘Care, Share, Fair, Dare’ and find out more about what we’ve done to help

embed them across our academy this week.

We’ll also include photographs of how everyone ‘dared to be them’ yesterday on #DareToBeDifferentDay.

@MissBorrell5Y Luka from 5 Yellow took on the

challenge of making a 3D model to

show his class how night and day

works. However, he used his Lego

building skills to create his model in

cube form! Excellent work, Luka!

@MissFenna1G 1G loved using 2D & 3D shapes to

make rockets! 3, 2, 1… blast off!

@MrsOConnor3G As an introduction to

statistics, 3G made a

human pictogram using

smiley faces to represent

their information.

Fantastic practical

maths, 3G!

Uniform Reminder

We’re proud of being from

Manor Green and want to make

sure our uniform reflects this. We

would like to take this

opportunity to remind you about

uniform at Manor Green.

We appreciate that the majority

of you ensure that children

come to school daily wearing

the appropriate uniform – thank

you very much for this.

Please find clarification about

Manor Green uniform below:

Uniform is a bottle green jumper

or cardigan with a yellow polo

shirt and black or grey school

trousers, pinafore or slip.

Children should not wear boots

or trainers for school. We

appreciate that the weather is

unpredictable so children are

welcome to walk to school in

their boots or trainers but they

must change in to shoes when

they get here. Where there are

times where your child needs to

wear trainers, please send a

note to explain.

Children should not wear nail

varnish or false nails. We do not

feel it is appropriate for primary

school aged children to wear

false nails due to health and

safety reasons.

Where children’s ears are

pierced, they should only wear

studs. Children should not wear

hooped or low hanging earrings

as these present a major health

and safety concern. Children

with hooped earrings will be

asked to remove them.

Any hair that is long enough to

be tied back, should be tied

back with a small bobble or

headband – preferably in green,

yellow or black.

Thank you for your continued

help and support.
