newsletter 19th april 2012

I hope you all had a good Easter break and have returned rested and ready for our final term of this academic year.

With the changing weather conditions lately please ensure that your child comes to school a suitable jacket/coat.

School Uniform Glade pupils are looking particularly smart in their school uniforms this week, and we are pleased to see that generally the school uniform code is followed by most of our pupils. There are however, a few pupils who have returned to school wearing non-uniform items such as hoodies, non-school caps and bright fashion trainers.
We will be reminding pupils about this over the next week and ask that parents support us in the following uniform code:
Yellow polo shirt/white shirt
Green sweatshirt with logo
Green cardigan with logo
Yellow/green check dress
Black/grey trousers
Grey skirt/pinafore/shorts
Black shoes/trainers
Green caps

Music Events— The children and staff enjoyed hearing our Choir perform a few songs from the recent choral festival at the Royal Albert Hall. We will now be working towards an Evening of Song and Music (a wonderful event if last year’s performance is anything to go by!!) which will take place at Glade on Thursday 5th July and will involve KS1, KS2 and Staff Choirs. If your child is interested in taking part in this Concert, weekly rehearsals will take place on Mondays 12.30– to 1.15 in 4L (KS2), or Wednesdays 1.55 to 2.15 in 2P (KS1)
