Dear Parents

This half term is flying by! The children are all working extremely hard and theteachers are all really pleased with the progress that is being made in allclasses.As I am writing this letter, the children from Swifts and Mrs Bolams class arein the Hall being shown some minibeasts from Zoolab there are giant snails,snakes, cockroaches to name a few of the creatures. I will be checking tomake sure that none are left behind when the Zoolab man goes! Mrs Rusby

has gone with Y4 to Chantry as part of their transition programme and Year 3are having a very hardworking day with Mrs Butler.

Parent Governors

One point that came to light on the recent questionnaire was that parentsdont know who our Parent Governors are or how to contact them.Our Parent Governors are:-

Brent Kilmurray

Simon Brown

David Hepton

Richard GlennieIf you need to contact them, please see them if they are at school dropping offor collecting their children, or leave a letter addressed to them at the Officeand Janet will forward the letter to them.

Head Lice

Please check your childs hair for head lice as we have had a case reported tous. If you do find any please treat your childs hairbefore sending them backto school.

Choir

I have started a choir in school; the children are very keen and have suchlovely voices! You will be able to hear them in the near future once they haveperfected their song!

Football Club

The Stannington First School Football Club met for the first time last week andwas thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. To ensure the smooth running of theclub and the health and safety of the children, please access school via theside gate only (the gate the children use in the morning). The children willhave all their belongings with them so will not need to come back into theschool building this will enable Albert to clean the school.
