From the Headteacher

 

Star Work:   Congratulations to James Mechen whose work is in pride of place on our Star Work board.

 

Cycle Safety Training:   Our second group of Year Five pupils complete their course of cycle training next week.   Running the course has been interesting not only because I get to work with Year Five but also because I get to see how many of the cars approach the school.

 

Traffic:   Please drive with caution on our school site (including the school drive way).  We have received reports of near misses because drivers are going very fast down the drive.   Take particular care when entering the site and cutting across Chelynch Park.

 

Newletters:   The newsletter section of our website is now up to date and should be updated each week so that you are never without access to a copy.   Also appearing is a section called ‘Letters to Parents’ where you can get copies of letters sent out to parents of specific year groups.   If you are concerned that you have missed out on something or if your child forgets an important letter about a trip you can check by visiting www.staldhelms.co.uk

International News:   Mrs Rowsell is making Burros (mini chocolate doughnuts) for our Spanish tuck next Wednesday (18th October).   If your child would like to purchase tuck, please ensure they bring 25 pence into school on Wednesday.  For every purchase made, 5 pence will go to our chosen school charity.   Advance notice:   Term 2’s country theme is MEXICO.

Harvest Festival:   Next Tuesday 17th October 9.30am in church.   We are collecting food for the homeless people’s café run by Crisis Centre Ministries in Bristol.   A list of useful items is attached to this newsletter.

Message from the Kitchen:   A reminder that it is Week 1 for the menu after half-term.

 

From the Friends of St. Aldhelm’s (PTA):   As at previous Christmas Fayre’s we have raffled some fantastic hampers.   We have decided to do the same this year but felt it easier if each class fills a hamper.   We have therefore decided on Years 3,4,5 and 6 (Juniors) to make up His and Hers bathroom hampers and Reception, Year l and 2 providing goodies for food hampers.   If you would like to contribute please could you leave your contribution at the school office, explaining which class it is for or alternatively leave with your class representative.   The class representatives are as follows:-

                                               

 

Reception                Lucy Wilson

                                                Year 1                     Vicky Herring/Sarah Hearne

                                                Year 2                     Michelle Dix/Heidi Doughty

                                                Year 3                     Dawn Meen/Wendy Sellar

Glastonbury Festival:   Volunteers are needed to take part as stewards at the 2007 festival.   This is an excellent way to raise money for our school.   In 2005 we provided a team of 20 stewards and earnt over £2000 for school funds whilst having a lot of fun at the same time!!   You will be required to give up 18 hours to provide stewarding services (3 shifts of 6 hours) full training provided.   You will get a free ticket to the festival that gives you full access when you are not on duty.   If you are interested could you please complete the form at the bottom of the newsletter and return to the school office.   Any queries please speak to Dawn Meen (01749) 345600.
