Your child should have brought a letter home this week giving you details of the sponsored fun run/walk the year 6 children are organising.

Year 6 usually do lots of fundraising during the school year, disco, bingo, cake sales etc, to raise funds to pay for their last special school trip.  Unfortunately, due to covid, they have not been able to organising anything yet this year.

They are now organising a sponsored fun run/walk, for all the children in school to take part in. If your child would like to join in this fun event, please return your request slip to the school office asap, and we will forward you your sponsor form. We request a minimum of £2 to be raised for each child taking part.

Thanks

Thank you to everyone who has returned their reply slip, or given us verbal consent, for the relationship and sex education lessons.

The lessons will start next week.  If you have not yet given us your consent for your child to take part, please do so by first thing Monday morning. (This is not for nursery or reception children).

Thanks

Our year 6 children will soon be leaving on their year 6 residential trip.

Can I please ask that all payments for this trip are completed before the children leave. If you wish to discuss anything regarding the trip, please contact the school office.

Thanks

Smoking – Our school is a no smoking site, this includes vaping.  Could we also ask that you do not smoke close to the entrance or exit of the school, where parents and children have to walk through.

Dogs – We have had several reports of dogs tied up to the old bike rack just inside the exit gate. Can we please ask that you do not leave your dog tied up close to the entrance or exit of the school, as this can be very frightening for the children to walk past when they may be scared are dogs. It must also be very frightening for the dogs if lots of children gather around them to say hello.

Thanks

Thanks

Toys

Could we ask that you remind your child that they should not be bringing toys into school, especially at the moment with Covid. If the teacher needs your child to bring something in to school they will let you know via the class page on the website.

Parking

We have again received reports from local residents of dangerous parking on junctions along Poynton Road. The parking is blocking the view for residents trying to leave their homes making it very dangerous when they are pulling out onto the road. Please park by the village hall or by the park.

As the weather is now getting lovely and warm we would like to remind you that your child should be bringing a water bottle and sun hat with them everyday.

We recommend you apply sun cream to your child in the morning prior to bringing them to school. If you need to send sun cream in with your child, please remind them that they CANNOT share their sun cream with any other child.  They will need to apply the cream themselves (therefore we would advise purchasing a cheaper brand) and they are not to take it outside with them during playtime.

Thank you

Shawbury Stars holiday club will be opening for four weeks over the summer holidays.
