SCHOOL NEWSWe have had another busy two weeks in
school with lots of exciting activities
happening. The children are getting
increasingly excited about the coming of
Christmas; we have started to practise
for the Infant and Junior Christmas
productions with further details about
ticket availability for the Infants coming
out this week.
Last week a police officer talked to the
children about being safe and theimportance of safe adults. We
would like
your support to reiterate the message of
not talking to strangers (without scaring
them too much!). Please ask class
teachers if you would like to hear the
message that was given to the children,
so you can speak at the same level.
Thank you for your questionnaire
responses and for the time you have
spent on Ofsteds Parent View...please
have a look if you have not yet had
chance.
Despite the cold weather, the
children in Class 1 have been
outside being very creative. With the
frosty weather today, the children
were particularly excited to find all
the ice they could...Im not sure
about what the policeman would
think about the use of his hat
though!
We have been doing a lot to inspire
the boys in the class with their
learning - although inevitably the
girls join in too! Superheros have
been very much the order of the
week, with lovely writing being done.
We have seen some amazing
progress with children holding a
pencil properly in one week and
lovely words being written.
Three boys were particularly
inspired to build this tower out of off
cuts - why is it these sorts of things
are always the favourite items to
play with?!

ESAFETY
As part of our aims to safeguard the
children in the school, we regularly look
at the way the children use the Internet.
There are, of course, many opportunities
for the children to use the internet at
home and I know that many children
enjoy chatting to their friends in
chatrooms, etc.
I would like to help the children make
good choices about their use of the
Internet and chatrooms, etc by asking a
police officer to come into school who is

trained to work specifically with children to
support their use of ICT both in school and at
home. PC Karl Williamson will be working with
all the Junior children (Years 3-6) on Monday
10th December.
There is also a
parents evening the
same day, in school,
from 6.30pm until
8.00pm. PC
Williamson will
support you as
parents to enable the children to use
ICT safely and so that you are fully in
control of what the children are
accessing. Feedback from other schools
say that these sessions for children and
parents are an excellent way to become
more aware of the amazing
opportunities of using ICT and also the
risks that may exist.
I will remind you nearer the time by
text, but I urge as many parents as
possible to attend this session in school
on 10th December.

Christmas Festival. This will be taking place this

We would love as many of our Year 3 and Year 4

Festival. They worked very hard to make them
earlier this week in school - well done!
PTFA CHRISTMAS FAIR
There has been a lot of hard work going on in the background to
make this years Christmas Fair the
biggest and best yet! Father Christmas is taking time out of his
busy schedule to visit the children and
we have a large number of external stalls who have promised to
display lots of exciting gifts that could
make lovely Christmas presents. Please make sure the date and
time are in your diaries: Friday 7th
December - 5.00-7.00pm. We look forward to seeing you and thank
you for your support.
Can I also remind you of the request from the PTFA regarding
match-funding. If you work for a
company who offers this, we would be really grateful for the
support.
ROAD SAFETY
I continue to receive complaints on a regular basis from members
of the
community of Ashton Hayes. They are very concerned for the
safety of
the children at the beginning and end of the school day due to
speeding
cars and poor parking. I have tried to reassure the complainants
that I
regularly ask parents to be careful around the front of school,
and Iknow that you do take care.
Can I remind you of our joint responsibility to make
sure that all road users are safe, especially at this
time of year when the roads are wet or slippery and
the hours of daytime are shorter.
Water BottlesPlease ensure that the children have a clean water
bottle in school every day.
