Curriculum of the future.
We have just been notified that our school`s application to become a `school for change` has been successful. This means that we have the wonderful opportunity to rethink the delivery of the curriculum to improve teaching and learning. We will be working with external partners and receive funding of £15,000 for the next three years to implement these changes. As yet we are in the planning stages gathering ideas. We have asked the children what changes they would like to see and we would welcome thoughts from parents as well.
So if you have an idea please jot it down and send it into school.
These will be exciting times!

Buzz Club
This club is so much enjoyed by many pupils that Mrs Irons needs more help. The club sessions occur monthly on a Wednesday from 3.00 - 4.00pm. Please do contact either the secretary or Mrs Irons if you are willing to help - thank you.
Changes to INSET days
To enable all staff to revalidate their First Aid certificates we need to take part in a one day course on Friday 13th February.
Therefore the school will be closed on this day and half term will begin on Thursday 12th February.
However by closing on this day it means that the Summer term will now end on Wednesday 22nd July.

Pudsey Extravaganza!!
We all enjoyed raising funds for Pudsey and Children in Need. Class 3 did an excellent job arranging the talent competition and the competitors showed just how talented they are with dancers, singers, musicians and comedians.
Thank you so very much for your generosity sending into school so many delicious cakes. Pupils enjoyed the `cake break` for several days!! Together we raised £130 - wonderful.

Class 2 collages
Class 2 have been inspired by the paintings of Alan Davie to create their own collages.

Bug Busting time!
We are currently suffering a plague of headlice.
With half term around the corner can we all check heads and rid the school of these annoying creatures. The best method is to use hair conditioner on wet hair and comb through with a fine toothed comb.
Headlice are quite persistent so checks need to be made weekly. We would also ask that all girls wear their hair tied back. A pamphlet providing more information accompanies this newsletter for your information.

Clubs
There will be some changes to the clubs on offer after half term. High 5 will stop because of light and weather to be replaced by Computer Club for Class 3.
As there are several younger children wishing to play football but as yet do not have sufficient skills to play with the older pupils, for safety reasons .Mrs Powell has offered to run a second football club for pupils in Class 2 and below on a Thursday afternoons.
All clubs are run voluntarily to offer social and learning opportunities to the pupils. So if pupils sign up to a club their attendance on a regular basis is expected. As we encourage politeness it would be very helpful to the club organisers if children notified them if they are unable to attend.
