It is lovely to have everyone back after the half term break. There is lots of information in the newsletter this week so please do take the time to read through carefully. We also have lots of events coming up and dates to remember.
If you haven’t already signed up for Parents Evening please use the links below to sign up for a slot on Tuesday 9th November, next week. You will need to download a free app called Google Docs to be able to sign up. If possible try to drop children at home before attending parents evening, if you need to bring your children with you please make sure that they have a book to read or something to do to keep them busy while you are in the parent meeting.
Reception H – Ms Steph Li Rosi
Please check through your children’s coats, bags and jumpers at home to be sure that they haven’t accidentally brought something home that is not theirs. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE name all belongings that come to school so that when they are found they can be returned. The lost property box is going to be emptied soon by some helpful parents, the contents washed and then put out at parents evening to be either be returned or then ultimately re-homed if not claimed.
Please remember to return the permission letter for your child to have their nasal flu vaccine in school like they do every year.
The school term dates can be found here in PDF format and the key events dates are being added into the school website calendar as we have them, these are then pulled and added to this newsletter each week. Please note that to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee there will be one more additional closed day in the Summer Term – we will share that data asap.
Holy Moly it’s Monday starts again this Monday 8th November at Holy Trinity Church. Arrive at 5pm for our family friendly service with the Holy Trinity School choir, games and fun. From 6pm we will have a community dinner and all are welcome. Do come along to make new friends, eat and worship together. Volunteers also welcome, speak to Rev Laura for more info.
To mark Anti Bullying week in school we would love it if children could come to school on Monday 15th November wearing odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique. Last year over 13,000 schools took part in Odd Socks Day. Andy Day (CBeebies/CBBC) and his band Andy and the Odd Socks are supporting the AntiBullying Alliance to help bring Odd Socks Day to life again this year. Have a listen to the brilliant song they have recorded especially for Anti-Bullying Week, One Kind Word.
In a world that can sometimes feel like it’s filled with negativity, one kind word can provide a moment of hope. It can be a turning point. It can change someone’s perspective. It can change their day. It can change the course of a conversation and break the cycle of bullying. Best of all, one kind word leads to another. Kindness fuels kindness. So from the playground to Parliament, and from our phones to our homes, together, our actions can fire a chain reaction that powers positivity.
We can’t wait to see all the fancy and weird odd sock combinations.
Friday 19th November is Children in Need and we are marking the day here at Holy Trinity by coming to school in non-uniform wearing as many spots as you can find! We will be going totally dotty all day and asking you to donate a £1 at the school gate or online for Children in Need. We will let you know how much we will raise.
