Swimming Gala The Swimming team gave a tremendous performance at the Redbridge Mini Games Gala last week. The team exceeded their personal best times and achieved many top 12 placings, out of the 24 schools participating.
Glade gained 5th position overall, with the boys Freestyle Relay team achieving 3rd place.
Unfortunately, due to the gala running late, both the boys and girls Medley Relay events were cancelled. This was a real disappointment to the team as both our Medley teams had trained specifically for this event. Both teams were expected to do very well and would have put us in a higher position overall.
However, with the timeless and unbeatable support of our parents/carers/supporters the team are eagerly awaiting our last event and are back in training for the Redbridge Primary Schools Gala on Thursday 11th March 2010 at 1.45pm, Fullwell Cross Pool.
Reducing Paper As previously mentioned, by September 2010 we have to reduce all the hard copies of letters that come out to parents. Please therefore, check our website at regular intervals for information as we gradually try to reduce what is sent out to parents.
Reminder—Height and Weight Checks Please note that next Monday, 8th February Year 6 and Reception children are having height and weight checks in school. If you do not wish your child to be included in this please write in to the school office as soon as possible. Thank you.
Parent Meetings Just a reminder, Year 5 parents meetings Wednesday 10th February. Reception, Yrs 1,2,3,4,6 Thursday 11th February.
Internet Safety Please be vigilant when your children are on the computer, particularly if they are using social networking sites, such as “face book” and MSN. You may be aware that there is a minimum age limit of 13 on some sites and we advise that you exert the usual parental control. It has come to our attention that some children are misusing this facility at home and causing upset to others in school.
Non-Uniform Day Friday 11th February wearing red—for Valentines Day.
Year 1 Parents of children in Year 1 can we please ask for your consideration in the mornings. The lines are getting very congested and it can be difficult for staff to get the children in to school safely. Once your child has joined the line we ask that you step away and wave your child goodbye as they enter school. It is not necessary for you to come in to school with your child, the staff are there to support the children and encourage independence with bags and coats.
