REMEMBRANCE ASSEMBLY I would like to invite you to an assembly tomorrow (Friday) to spend a few moments in quiet reection as I ask the children to think about the human sacrice made during the conicts that have affected our country and others. Please be seated in the hall for a 10.45am start. Thank you. There will be a service in St John’s Church on Sunday morning. RECENT LETTERS  We have sent a variety of letters home over the past couple of weeks about upcoming events for the children to be involved in, to enrich their curriculum and learning experiences. If you haven’t already seen these, please look out for ‘Sing a Christmas Story’, KS2 Christmas Theatre’, ‘KS1 and EYFS Christmas Theatre’ and ‘Class 5’s Visit to Stockpo rt Air Raid Shelters’.  We have been emailing the reply slips to you and are more than happy to receive these back by email (it helps to cut down on the amount of paper coming into school, which is always a good thing!)  As with all trips, these can be paid for online (speak to Mrs Stubbs if you need to be reminded of your logon details), cash or cheque (cheques made to ‘Ashton Hayes Primary School Fund’). I have tried to keep the costs of these trips to a minimum in a variety of ways, including: using the school minibus, sharing trips  with Barrow CE Primary and Huxley CE Primary and by subsidising the trips from school funds. ASHTON HAYES PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWS ISSUE 7 / AUTUMN TERM 2011 / THURSDAY 10TH NOVEMBER 2011 PARENTS’ EVENINGS This week has been a busy week for staff and parents as we have been arranging times to speak to you about your child’s progress so far this year. It is always lovely to hear all the positive comments about  your children. The teachers will also  be constructive in explaining the next steps that we are working on  with the children in order to build upon their attainment and progress as the year progresses. MRS S EVANS  As the parents of Class 3 will have heard by text message earlier this  week, Mrs Evans is off school for a  week due to complications with her pregnancy. We wish her well as she rests at home under the instruction of her doctor. As with all staff absences, I work extremely hard to ensure that the supply teachers deliver the same level of high quality learning experiences as our regular school staff. Where possible, I will also seek to use teachers known to the school and the children as a means to minimise disruption. Mrs Evans will rearrange her parent’s evening appointments upon her return. Apologies for any inconvenience for changing these. SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PERFORMANCES  We are currently working with the children to prepare for the Infant Nativity and the Junior carol Service. We are faced with the challenge of no school hall as Class 5 are using this area for the majority of this term, however, ‘the show must go on’ and the younger children will be per forming their Christmas story in the hall nearer the end of term. Please bear with us as we work hard to bring this magical experience to  you. Miss Corker may be in contact  with you soon with some costume requests! The EYFS and KS1 Christmas Nativity will be on Tuesday 13 th  December at 2.00pm and Thursday 15 th December at 2.00pm. There will  be no charge for these events, although space will be limited to two seats per family, with the possibility of further seats when we are sure that every parent has had the opportunity to acquire tickets. The KS2 Carol Service will be on Monday 19 th December from 7.00pm in St. John’s Church. In the past, this has been a wonderful service which the children tell the Christmas Story accompanied by songs and readings (and the the last chance for Year 6 children to dress up as a shepherd!) CHILDREN IN NEED This year, the children are keen to support Children in Need, which has its ofcial day on Friday 18 th  November. Please send your children dressed in spotty clothes, or wearing spots, or with face painted with spots... next Friday. Please send in any donations to the school (I suggest at least a pound per child). The children would like to sell cakes at morning playtime; we would be grateful for any donations of cakes (home-made or bought), which can  be sold. We will sell these for between 1 0 and 50 pence...please can you proved a bit of change in the children's pockets? Thank you!

HOLIDAY REQUESTS

The Education Welfare Officer (EWO) will be visiting the school tomorrow to 

inspect the registers and to monitor the attendance of the children. Ashton

Hayes Primary School has a good record of attendance, helped with the

good partnership between school and parents. I know that you are aware of 

the educational impact of taking children out of school for holidays and

medical appointments. I respectfully ask that you continue to consider thisimpact when booking your family holidays (and I am well aware that there

is a cost implication for taking holidays in the school holidays) and making 

medical appointments that could be arranged during the holidays.

Please note the PTFA newsletter

and information about the quiz

night and the Christmas fair. This

 year, the Christmas Fair will take

place in the Village Hall as we are

 very short on space in the halluntil the building work is

completed.
