I do hope that all of our families who celebrated Eid last Friday had a fantastic family time.
In school this week, we have started our Christmas festivities with the PAWS discos tonight and Christmas performance rehearsals that are well under way.
Further Christmas Reminders of Dates
Dress Rehearsal—Morning Nursery, RC, 1J and 2S.
7th December at 10am
Actual Performance for parents—10am 9th December.
Dress Rehearsal—Afternoon Nursery, RN, 1M and 2M. 7th December at 2pm
Actual Performance for parents—2pm 9th December.
11th December Christmas Dinner Day Please note, it is now too late to order a Christmas dinner for your child as the food order has been sent as per previous communication.
Parent Concerns I was very disappointed to discover that a number of parents, who have clearly not read letters that have been sent out, have been very aggressive and rude when told that their child has not got a ticket for the PAWS discos.
For health and safety reasons, there is a limit to the number of children who can participate in such activities, that are not during the school day and are not run by school staff.
I would therefore clarify that PAWS Committee members are parent volunteers who give up their time, effort and energy to support the school. They deserve to be treated better by parents who are less generous with their time!
And now onto some Good News…..
Christmas Carols at Tesco—Our school choir will be performing at TESCO Woodford on 15th December at 1.30pm. It would be lovely to have parents come along to support.
Exhibition/Reports End of Term reports will be sent out next Friday 11th December.
There will also be an exhibition of children's work on the same day after school for parents. We will also provide an opportunity for parents to tell us what we do well and to share their complaints/moans, so that we can work towards addressing them.
