SEPTEMBER 2010

Welcome back after the Summer holiday. I hope that you were able to enjoy the break. Welcome to all the new children and parents who have joined us in Nursery and Reception and to those who have come from other schools.The children have started the new term looking very smart and working very hard for their new teachers.During the holiday work Mr Downsborough and cleaning staff have been busy getting everything ready for the new term.

Work on the Children’s Centre has been delayed but should start before the end of September. More information will follow.

UNIFORM

The children do look very smart in their uniforms. Please ensure that your child does wear the school sweatshirt/cardigan. All the uniform is available from the school office at the following times:

Mon 3-3.30 pm Tues 8.30-9.15 am & 3-3.30 pm Wed 8.30-9.15 am & 3-3.30 pm Thurs 8.30-9.15 am & 3-3.30 pm Please do ensure that you name your child’s clothing.

Uniform is often misplaced by the children and it is easier to return if it clearly shows their name.

SCHOOL FOOD

The cost of a school meal has remained at £2/day £10 per week. These are healthy and nutritious and can be ordered from the school office.  You are welcome to sample a school meal with your child – just call in to arrange.  Children can have a meal on any individual day of the week, this just needs to be arranged at the office where menus are also available.

We are pleased that so many children bring a piece of fruit as a mid morning snack. The children are often hungry at this time and fruit ticks all the boxes for a healthy diet. Please ensure that this is a piece of fruit and not packets of processed fruit.

Holywell Green School Association

The school association provides valuable support to the school and has helped with many projects in the past as well as organising social events for children and parents. The first meeting is on Thursday 16th September at 8pm in the staffroom. All parents are welcome to come along with their ideas and suggestions for the forthcoming year.
