Congratulations to you all!
Mrs
Baker Update
Unfortunately Mrs Baker will not be back in
school before we break up for Christmas due to the severity of her fracture. We
hope that she is not too uncomfortable and send her our best wishes. Mrs
Stafford will be visiting her towards
the end of term and is happy to pass on any Christmas cards, etc.
Parent Governor Vacancy – please do
think about applying!
A reminder that we currently have a
vacancy for one parent governor and invite applications from parents or
anyone who has parental responsibility for a pupil on the school roll at the
time of the election. Parent governors, like all governors, will be most
effective if they bring relevant skills and experience, as well as the ability
to work as part of a team. We need committed parent governors to make the
governing body as effective as it can be. All nominations should be sent
in to the school office by 3.15pm on Tuesday 12 December 2017. If
you would like to know a little more about becoming a parent governor, please
get in touch with any member of the governing body.

Appeal
We are pleased to let you know that a total
of £124.26 was collected by everyone at Stadhampton School. The snap bands were
certainly very popular this year! Thank you.
Emergency School
Closures
If the weather is particularly bad or there
are power cuts in the village and the decision is made to close the school
closures are announced during the breakfast shows on BBC Radio Oxford (95.2
FM), Heart FM (102.6/97.4/102.9/103.4 FM), and Jack FM (106.8). Parents are advised to tune into these local
radio stations and also check their e-mails if there is a possibility that the
school could be closed. We will also do our best to put a message onto the
school website if there is power!
Cold
Weather Clothing
Please could everyone ensure that children
have suitable clothing for outdoor breaks in this cold weather – a coat, hats,
gloves and a scarf would be ideal (named please!).

LITTLE
BEARS NEWS:
The
Little Bears have enjoyed finding out about freezing and melting. We have been
exploring our garden and seeing what effect the weather is having out there and
have found frozen water and crunchy grass. We’ve also extended the topic of
‘Kindness’ and continue to support and help children learn the importance of
rules and listening to what our friends say.
Rehearsals for the Christmas play are in
full swing now and Little Bears look forward to their performance in two weeks
time.
