Attendance Figures Week Ending 5th March
This week our children achieved an overall percentage of 95% (Nursery not included). Clubs next week All after school clubs except for Grass Roots on Friday will be cancelled due to Parents Evening. Can all children who normally go to after school clubs please be picked up at the normal time, thank you. Chorlton High Master Classes Five children from years 4-6 attended a science master class at Chorlton high School this week. They were: Felix Dubicki-Piper (Year 4), Peter Mitchell and Louis Hadoke (Year 5), and Michael Day and Hader Khan (Year 6). Many thanks to Chorlton High School for providing them with such an exciting opportunity. Philosophy and Drama On March 3rd, eighteen children from Years 5 and 6, plus six children from both Oswald Road and Chorlton C of E, were treated to a very challenging and stimulating session of philosophy and drama led by one of our parents, Peter Kennedy. The children were very inspired by the time they spent with Peter and are looking forward to a follow-up on March 24th. Many thanks to Peter for challenging these children to think so deeply. Nursery News Just a reminder that the library service story session will take place in the Infant Hall on 23rd March at 2.30pm. This session is for children in the Nursery, their parents and younger siblings. Please sign in at the Office between 2.15pm and 2.30pm and come down to the Hall as this should be a lot of fun. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week, the nursery will join together on the yard for wake-up gym as part of our Sport Relief activities. We will do this immediately after register time and it would help us if everyone gets to school promptly so that we can get active! On Friday we will be doing circuit activities for a much longer session. Children can come in sporty outfits on that day – we will be collecting donations for sport relief in the classrooms. If you have been waiting for activity packs since the stay and play sessions before half-term you will be given the pack during your parent-teacher interview meeting next week, as the packs have finally arrived. Have a lovely weekend, and to all of our mums – Happy Mothers Day. The Nursery staff. |
School Meal Menu for next week – Week 4 Speedmark Challenge Thank you to everyone who helped raise money during the Speedmark Challenge last Thursday and Friday especially Jayden Bell in 1KJ who raised a staggering £300! It was a great couple of days and all involved really enjoyed it. Writing Competition A reminder that entries for the writing competition need to be sent to Ms Boyle or Mrs Griffith by Monday of the coming week (15th). The task was to write a story set in the future, based on the idea of exploring a new planet. Prizes will be awarded within the relevant phases. Football March is proving a very successful month for football at Chorlton Park. Yesterday the Year3/4 6 a side football squad won all of their games in a tournament at Whalley Range High School. They came home with the shield and each received medals. As champions, they will now go in to the area finals to face winners from similar tournaments across Manchester. Congratulations to Matthew Argent-Barnes, India Sangar, Hattie Midgley-Stevens, Josh Fox, Jeevan Bharda-Singh, Daniel Lewis, Taimur Amer, Daisy Wood and Billie Carr-Woodburn. Also the Year 6 team has progressed well in the Wetton Trophy and play in the semi-final next Thursday (18th March). The match will take place on the park and kick off will be 4pm. We hope as many children and parents/carers can be there to cheer on the team in what promises to be a thrilling encounter against St Anthony’s. Parking Just a reminder to park considerately. We have had a complaint from a neighbour, saying that her car was blocked in her driveway when a parent came to collect from school. We know that there are parking restrictions at the moment that are making the situation worse, but please set off 5 minutes earlier, so that you can find somewhere appropriate to park. Thank you. |
