Last call - Year 6 Cycle Training – Trainers Required!

Thank you to Kerri Jones for offering to help with cycle safety training. We really need 4 parent helpers to be able to offer this opportunity to our Year 6 pupils with ideally one parent having been involved in cycle safety training previously. Please do let us know as soon as possible if you’re able to help this year.

 

Parking in Cratlands Close

We have received complaints this week from a resident in Cratlands Close about the parking of larger vehicles on the pavements/corners, which obscure the view when people are trying to drive in or out of Cratlands Close at around 3.15pm. Please could we respectfully remind parents to show consideration to the residents of Cratlands Close at all times and to ensure that they park their car so as not to make driving in Cratlands Close hazardous for anyone – motorists or pedestrians. Thank you.

 

Change to Menu on 21 June

Food & More have advised us that on Thursday 21 June there will a BBQ themed menu instead of the usual menu. The details are on display outside the kitchen and on the attached flyer.

Parent Library

A reminder that we have a small selection of books available for parents to borrow on an honesty basis. They are in a ‘Parenting Matters’ library box in the front entrance area. We have just added a new title “Unplugged Parenting – How to Raise Happy, Healthy Children in the Digital Age” by Dr Elizabeth Kilbey. This is a nationally topical issue at the moment. Other books in our collection include;

 

Raising Girls by Steve Biddulph

Raising Boys by Steve Biddulph

Help Your Child Love Reading by Alison David

Detoxing Childhood by Sue Palmer

Simple Guide to Childhood Trauma by Betsy de Thierry

The Danish Way of Parenting by Alexander and Sandahl.

 

A number of these books have been on loan for some time, and if you have finished with them, please return to the box so that other parents can borrow them. Thank you.

LITTLE BEARS NEWS:

We have begun our new theme; Mini-beasts, which we are all really excited about and really engaging the children’s imaginations. We have been looking at what mini-beasts are in all their various sizes, shapes and colours and finding out what the children already know about them before we embark on our investigations. We also look forward to our ZooLab visit this Friday which in the past has always proved to be great fun for the children and parents!
