Dear Parents/Guardians
Happy New Year!

As many of you would have heard in the news there is quite a virulent vomiting and diarrhoea bug sweeping the country.

Parent Support Adviser
The role of our parent support adviser is to support you as parents and your child by proving support, advice and information. She is able to help you with any worries you may have in relation to your child’s education, behaviour or attendance, and provide support on how best to deal with it.
Our adviser, Rachel Britton, will be holding informal surgeries in the community lounge starting on Friday, 18th January from 8.45am to 10.30am these will take place every Friday until February half-term.
Healthy Eating Tuck Shop
This Wednesday, 12th December, will be the last tuck shop. We will not be holding one on the last day of term, Wednesday, 19th December.

11 Million Take Over Day!
This morning, my role as headteacher, was taken over by Hannah Walker, who became the headteacher of Bar Hill School for the morning. Bethany McMillan became her deputy headteacher. Eighteen of our Year 6 pupils participated in the bid to become a headteacher for the morning and also to win a IPod Nano!
The children all had to write 111 words on how they would improve the school if they were headteacher and I was very impressed with all their entries. However, there could only be one headteacher and the judges from the Eastern Leadership Centre, plus two school governors, voted Hannah as the winner.
Dear Parents/Guardians
Children In Need

Children and staff can come non-uniform for 50p and also during morning break we will be having a cake and biscuit stall. We would appreciate it if children and parents make cakes and biscuits to sell on the day. All items will be either 10p or 20p.

Dear Parents
Harvest Festival and Book Week
We had a very enjoyable harvest festival on Tuesday with or children, staff, senior citizens and grandparents. Thank you for all your generous harvest gifts.
Book week was also a great success especially with our young children who particularly enjoyed seeing the staff dressed up as story characters and wearing pyjamas! It was good to welcome back an ex member of staff-Amy Robinson who ran a story telling session for us in her new role as a professional story teller.
School Meals
Thank you again for returning the school meals questionnaires. We were delighted with the response. Almost 120 questionnaires were returned which is a 100% return from those children who have school meals.
Dear Parents
Individual and Family Photographs
Individual and family photos will be taken on Thursday, 27th September. Your child should be bringing home a lilac letter today with further information.
