Macaulay Primary School
13 October 2009
We have organised a name card at £1 a go. The prize will be a reconditioned laptop computer. Names will be on sale from tomorrow and hopefully the draw will take place on Thursday 22 October if all the names are sold. Tickets will be sold at the school gate before and after school.
Following the request from the Evening Telegraph to raise money for Wish Upon a Star we have organised a raffle. All members of staff have donated a prize and tickets will be on sale at 20 pence each starting from Monday 19 October. Although all seats are now covered for Lapland the money will be used to fund local visits for children who are too ill to travel to Lapland. I am sure you would like to support this worthwhile cause.
Children in Key Stage 2 who have made good choices since September will be invited to a Halloween Disco on Thursday 22 October in the afternoon. (1.30 – 3p.m.) Children may bring suitable clothes/fancy dress to change into. Invitations will be issued on Monday 19 October. The usual refreshments will be on sale.
Please remember that Parents’ Evening is on Monday 19 and Tuesday 20 October from 3.30-5.30 p.m. Please make your appointment with your child’s class teacher if you have not already done so.
It has been brought to my attention this morning by a couple of parents that a man in a white van has been trying to entice children into the van with puppets. I have reported this concern to the police and just wanted to make you aware of this. All children have been reminded about stranger danger.
Yesterday a brown leather handbag was taken from a Key Stage 1 classroom at the end of the day. If anyone has information about this please contact me urgently.
Just a reminder that school closes for half term on Thursday 22 October at 3.15p.m. and opens again on Monday 2 November.

Parents’ Evening
Our Parents’ Evening has been arranged for Monday 19 October and Tuesday 20 October 2009 between 3.30p.m. and 5.30 p.m. This is an opportunity for you to discuss your child’s progress and their current targets with their Class Teacher and we would like all parents to attend. Please complete the slip and return it to your child’s teacher by Monday 12 October in order that appointments can be arranged. If this time is not convenient please speak to your child’s teacher who will arrange to see you at an alternative time.
A crèche will be available in the Foundation Unit from 3.30p.m to 4.30p.m.
Operation Christmas Child
Once again we will be taking part in the Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box Appeal which sends Christmas gifts to children in Eastern Europe. Leaflets, explaining which items are needed, have been given out with this letter. Children may either fill a shoe box at home and bring it into school or alternatively may bring items into school which we will then put into shoe boxes. If anyone needs a shoe box we have some spares in school. Thank you in anticipation of your support. The postage is now £2.50 per box and whilst I will ask staff to help with this it would be appreciated if you could please send £2.50 for postage if at all possible. Shoe boxes will be collected on Wednesday 18 November.
Jeans for Genes Day
We raised £ 412 for children with genetic disorders.! Many thanks for your support.
Half Term
Just a reminder that school closes for half term on Thursday 22 October at 3.15 p.m. and opens again on Monday 2 November 2009.

Welcome to all of our new Reception children.
We have had a good start to the term and hope you will all find your work exciting and interesting.
Remember to hear your child read as often as possible and help them to bring their reading book every day.
We set homework on a Friday and so we would be grateful if you could support your child with this and return the book on Thursday of the following week for marking and new homework.
This half term we will be tackling a topic called Structures. To make this interesting for the classes we are developing the theme through the story of the Three Little Pigs. We are looking forward to trying out different materials to build a variety of structures. Later in the term we may ask for contributions of boxes or cardboard. You class teacher will keep you informed.
The topic also covers geography through homes and places people live and history through homes in the past. Towards the end of October we will be visited by Clean Slate who will provide the children with some experience of what it must have been like to live in a Victorian home.
As always our doors are open for you to speak to us whenever you feel it necessary.
Key Stage 1 staff.
