Nursery News

There are still a few days for you to return your consent slip for the Safari Park Trip on 25^th June if you have not done so already.  If you pay for school dinners you will need to send a packed lunch for your child on that day.  Children who receive free school dinners will receive a packed lunch from the school kitchen.

We had a lovely party today on Fake Baby Day for Mrs Mahmood, and are now waiting with excitement to find out whether she will have a baby boy or girl soon.  We wish her the best of luck over the coming weeks and send her off with lots of love from the children and staff.  At the same time we welcome Miss Taylor to the Nursery as she will be working in the Acorn Room from Monday.  We all look forward to making friends with her and sharing exciting times.  Finally, one upcoming date for the Nursery diary is 8^th July when the Library Service will be visiting us for the story session in the hall.  Parents and younger siblings are invited to this event and we will send further details later on.

Have a lovely weekend

Aspiration Week

The school is busy planning for Aspirations Week, aimed at to give children new skills which help them raise their aspirations, with volunteers coming into school and even local trips to find out more about various careers.  If you have a really unusual or interesting job or something really visual like hairdressing get in touch with your child’s class teacher.

We are also holding a Chorlton Parks Got Talent event that week. The final will take place on Saturday 4^th July at the Summer Fair.

We are organising a judging panel for each year group to decide which acts go through. This will be made up of children, staff or a mixture of both.  Please talk to your children about an act they might want to work on for the competition.

New School Governors

Three parents stepped forward to take up the challenge of Parent Governor for the school.  They are:

• Gisele Bakkenist children in R3, 2JS, 4BH
• Mark Brookfield – children in 1KJ, 4BH
• Tracy Langley – children in R2

We would like to thank them for putting themselves forward, for dedicating their time and welcome them to the school and wish them luck in their new roles.
