Dear
Parents
May I
extend a warm welcome to any new parents and pupils who have joined the school
and have missed my first newsletter. It is still available along with diary dates
for the academic year if you require it.
Collect one from outside the office and they are also now available on
the PTA website.
Our
Harvest Celebration will take place in the school hall on Thursday 7 October at
The needs
of the Padley Centre are quite specific and the
following items are the products we would most appreciate you sending:
Soups,
fruit squash or soft drinks, biscuits
Fruit,
vegetables, eggs, cheese, margarine/butter
Coffee,
Drinking chocolate, sugar, milk/milk powder, breakfast cereals, sandwich
fillings, tinned meat and fish, tomato and brown sauce, salt and pepper, salad
cream, cup-a-soups, any tinned food
Disposable
razors, shaving foam, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel, deodorant
Sadly 30%
of the goods the Padley Centre receive are out of
date or unusable so it is vital that the donations you make are:-
1.
In date
2.
Undented
3.
Have a ring tab on top and
therefore do not require a tin opener
If
possible we would like all pupils, Nursery to Year 5 to bring a plate, small
box or basket of goods as listed above.
If it is not possible to provide a plate, box or basket, single items
will still be appreciated.
Year 6
pupils are asked to provide fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers, and/or
non-perishable food items (in date).
Year 6 will be delivering their gifts to the residents on St Alkmunds Close after the service.
Pupils
should bring their gifts on Wednesday 6 October or first thing on Thursday 9
October.
Thank you
in anticipation of your support.
Part of
our harvest celebration is to judge the PTA Pumpkin competition. Pumpkins need to be in school the day before
Harvest Festival on Wednesday 6 October by 9 am. Please affix name and class and deliver

Football Soccer
stars, please see attached leaflet
In order
to provide quality football training we are using Soccer Stars to run the
football club. This does require a fee
of £3 per session and all details and return slip are on the red leaflet.
Please
complete the reply slip to partake in any of the named clubs. For football complete the reply slip on the
soccer stars leaflet and send it into school.
Whenever there are insufficient places for every pupil wishing to join a
particular club, priority will be given to the eldest pupils. Otherwise places are allocated on a first
come first served basis and reply slips cannot be considered after 9.00 am on
Friday 24 September.
If you are
interested in running any other club please let me know.
This item
was on the first newsletter, and only needs appropriate action if you didnt
receive it.
In order to record evidence as well as pleasure we like to take photographs of the pupils and record their work on video from time to time. Such material is kept in school and used purely for school records and evidence of progress/achievement.
We would
appreciate your support in allowing us to take photographs and video concerts
for example at Christmas etc. If
however, you do not give your permission for your child to be photographed or
videoed then you must return the reply slip attached. Non-return will be interpreted as parental
approval.
Yours
sincerely
