Dear Parents/Carers
The
Big Pedal
This week we have so far totalled 114 bike and
scooter rides to school.
We will have a special family cycle day on Saturday 22nd March. This will start in Fishponds at around 11am and finish at Mangotsfield Station where there will be food and fun activities. This is a family activity where parents will supervise their own children. Any additional adult support, in helping to organise food and activities, would be very much appreciated. There will be more details in next week’s newsletter.
Cake
Sales
We would like to restart our fundraising PTFA cake
sales. Previously these have been an easy and popular way of bringing parents
together, raising some funds for the school and buying some delicious cakes.
All the school needs is parents who are willing to
come in for half an hour once a term to help run the sale. If you can help,
please see Mr Condon or contact the school office.
Term 3 Team Points Winners
St Mark’s Team
were our winners last term. They will have a non-uniform day on Wednesday 12th
March 2014.
Medical Appointments
Please can I ask parents to avoid booking any medical or dental appointments in school time. If these appointments are unavoidable then please inform the school in writing, in advance.
Jewellery
Children should not wear jewellery to school. This is increasingly becoming a problem when getting ready for PE lessons as teachers have been spending a lot of PE time removing jewellery from children so they do not injure themselves or others.
Please note: Children with pierced ears whose parents wish them to wear earrings must, for safety reasons, wear studs with a very small stone (allowing flexibility to change the colour of the stone) rather than other types of earrings. Children who wear earrings must remove (or tape) them for all PE and sporting activities on health and safety grounds.
PE Kit
Please ensure your child has the correct PE
kit – White T-shirt, navy blue or black shorts, plimsolls/daps and a suitable
bag with a string loop for hanging.
Paying Dinner Monies
May I remind you that dinner money
must be paid on a Monday in a named envelope with the correct amount and given
to your child’s class teacher. This also applies to music tuition, after school
clubs and trips etc.
