After School Clubs - there are still spaces available for the ITFC multi-sports taking place on Tuesdays for children in Woodpeckers and Foxes.  Please pay via the website to secure your place.  If you would like a space on the Lego Club please visit Kids with Bricks website to book on.  Both of these clubs start next Tuesday and run until half term.

 

Menu Change Thursday - next Thursday the kitchen will be offering a Taste of America menu, assuming the gas supply has been successfully reinstated.  Please see the attached poster.  There is no need to pre-order on this occasion, but please make children aware of the change in menu on that day.  Jackets will NOT be available, however, sandwiches can still be ordered if preferred.

 

Medication - as medicines were all sent home prior to the holidays, please only send in what is needed to be held in school.  Please ensure inhalers are sent in every day and that the forms sent out before Christmas have all been completed and returned (copy attached).  As a reminder, if your child is prescribed antibiotics, school should only be asked to administer them if they are required 4 times per day.

 

Housekeeping - just a couple of reminders as we embark upon a new term.  The gates open at 8:35am, registration takes place at 8:45am, therefore the children have a 10 minute window to get to their classrooms.  Please ensure they are in correct uniform, including shoes, with all of the equipment they require including a water bottle - please ensure EVERYTHING is labelled.  For those children in KS2 who pay for their meals, please try not to fall into arrears.  Payment can be made in cash in a named envelope to the office, or via the website.  Please refrain from sending in loose cash as it often goes astray and if left on the office desk, doesn't always get allocated against the correct child.  If you bring a dog to school either in the mornings or the afternoons, please ensure they are kept away from the ramp/steps - not all children like dogs, even the soft, friendly ones.  If you drive to school, please park considerately and watch your speed.  We thank you for your cooperation and understanding.  Please do keep an eye on the weekly newsletter to keep you up to date on events and how to stay involved with school life.

 

Princess Trust - as notified before Christmas, one of our Woodpeckers was raising funds and awareness for the Princess Trust by getting sponsorship to have her hair cut and donating it to be made into a wig.  Aiyana has raised an amazing £910 to support this charity and pay for the wig to be made.  Her new style suits her too!  It's a win, win.  Thank you to anyone who sponsored her to raise this money.

 

School Dinners Update - as per our email sent this week the gas at Beaumont Primary has been a recurring issue for quite some time, especially in cold weather.  We are waiting to hear if it will be operational next week or not.  Please advise children that they may not be able to have the main option but we will continue to endeavour to provide either a jacket potato or a packed lunch option on a daily basis.  We apologise for any inconvenience, but it is evidently out of our hands.
