World Book Day – Thursday 5 March

World Book Day – Thursday 5 March

As a school, we believe that reading is important as it helps you to discover new things by enabling you to educate yourself in any area of life you are interested in and to do your own research and thinking. Reading opens the mind and imagination and the creative side of a person.

We will be celebrating World Book Day 2020 by encouraging the children to share a ‘Million Stories’ and they are invited to attend school dressed in their PJs so that we can have one big bedtime story.

There will also be a reading challenge set for the week, which involves children reading at certain points during the day. We will be encouraging children to read for 15 minutes 3 times a day, listen to a story once a day and read at home every evening. If your child achieves this, they get a stamp on their ‘Reading Challenge’ card and at the end of the week will be entered into a prize draw!

There is no charge for this event.

Bike Shed

There is now a new bike shed / area for children to store their bikes and scooters during the school day.

To access the bike shed you will need to go through the main entrance to the school and walk through the side gate and the bike racks are on the right. You will need to ensure that children are locking their bikes and scooters up as parents will have access to this area at certain times in the day.

There is now NO reason for children to be on the school car park on bikes or scooters.

Mufti Day

Thank you to everyone who came to school dressed in their own clothes and donated their £1 to help us raise money to fund a trip to America for a young boy called Charlie, who attends John Randall Primary School. Hopefully, with the support of our community he will raise enough to have life saving proton therapy for stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cancer. As a school, we raised £334.00 so once again, thank you!

Parking on the yellow zigzag lines

From Friday 31 January 2020, Telford and Wrekin are now responsible for civil parking enforcement or ‘CPE’. This means that it will be Telford & Wrekin Council, not the police, enforcing street parking restrictions across the borough. If you park illegally you will be subject to a fine called a penalty charge notice (or ‘PCN’) of £70 or £50 depending on the severity of the contravention. There’s a 50% discount for paying within 14 days.

CPE isn’t about making money for the Council. It’s about clearing the borough of illegal and inconsiderate parking. Our Neighbourhood Enforcement Officers work for Telford & Wrekin Council, not an external agency. They do not have ticketing targets and they do not get bonuses for issuing tickets.

As a school, we are constantly reminding parents that it is illegal for them to park on the yellow zigzag lines outside of school. It is unsafe and dangerous for our children and parents who are walking their children to school. Telford and Wrekin council will now fine you for parking on these lines and as a school we will fully support the council by reporting in repeat offenders.

If you do not wish to be offended when asked to move, do not park or drop off on the yellow zigzag lines.

HOT DOG SALE

As part of their PSHE topic, Year 5 have been considering how to become entrepreneurs. They have looked at the horrific events that have been taking place in Australia and have decided that they would like to raise money for the families, fire service and animals that have been affected by the bush fires.

They will be selling hot dogs after school from Mr Broderick’s classroom door from 3pm for £1. Please come along and show your support for such wonderful and thoughtful children and a deserving event.

Staff Kurling Competition

Over the last two weeks, children have been learning the skills of New Age Kurling in PE lessons. New Age Kurling is a sport that requires participants to deliver ‘stones’ from one end of the court to a target at the other end of the court. The target has red, white and blue concentric circles and scoring is determined by the number of stones closest to the centre of this target.

Teachers have been envious of the fun children were having in lessons so this evening, Mr Stevens and Mr Graham organised a teacher’s competition. Teachers were paired into teams and played many games of New Age Kurling. The competition was close and there were stones zooming all over the hall floor; some with precision and careful aiming, others with not so much planning. After all teams had competed against each other and a very competitive heated hour, the winning pair was Mr Graham and Mrs Tomlinson with 16 points. What a team!

Well done to all that participated; it’s such a shame that we have to return this equipment soon.
