Dear Parent/Carer,

A reminder that the school is closed tomorrow, due to a staff training day.

Attendance

Well done to Mrs Rollings class with 99% attendance last week.  They will be able to wear non uniform on Friday 8^th February. Also Miss Holman’s class with 98% and Miss Phillips’, Mrs Ford’s and Mrs Joseph’s with 97% attendance.

Attendance for the week beginning the 7^th January overall was very good considering the snow on the Friday.  Well done!!

Overall, this is very positive as attendance in the Autumn term was not as good as in the last school year.

Celebration Assembly

There will be no celebration assembly on Monday, due to camp week.  Celebration Assemblies will resume after half term.

Consultation about a new playground on Ridgeway Road

All parents, carers and children are invited to look and comment on plans on Tuesday 12^th February 2013, BETWEEN 6.00 PM – 8.00 PM. This drop in session will be held in the main Church Foyer of ST JOHN’S CHURCH, LODGE CAUSEWAY, FISHPONDS, BRISTOL BS16 3QG

Clothes for a Cause

The Clothes For a Cause bag has been sent home with your child for you to fill with any unwanted, good quality clothing, curtains, paired shoes, handbags and belts. The more we collect, the more money the school receives. The school council have nominated the NSPCC and the Rainbow Trust to benefit from the funds raised. The bags will be collected on Friday 8^th February, but we will be accepting the bags from Thursday 7th February.

Team Points

St Mark are last term’s winners and they will be able to wear non-uniform on Friday 22^nd February.
