It has been great to see how many of you have been able to attend the different workshops and open lessons that teachers have put on either to help with a wider understanding of how you can support your child’s learning or simply for you to join in the fun. The more we know your opinions of these activities the better. We would like to ensure that they become very much a regular experience / opportunity in school. If you have any you would like to share then please make sure you record them at the sessions or you can email the teachers or myself through the school email. Best wishes for a great week.

PUC 100 Coffee Afternoon
In school we have been researching Pucklechurch and trying to find out more about our village.
We will be holding a coffee afternoon on Monday, 30th January 1.30 – 3.00 pm in the school hall. If you have any stories to tell or objects to bring along then we would love to see you you there! The children are excellent researchers and need some more information about Pucklechurch to add to their website, which they will be creating. They are hoping to gather some more information at our coffee afternoon!
If you can’t make it but you have any objects, pictures or stories about Pucklechurch that you would like to share with us, we would still love your help. Please contact the school office with your details and we can arrange a time for you to come into school.
Travelling Book Fair
We are holding a travelling book fair from Tuesday 31st January to Friday 3rd February 2012 from 3.10-4.00pm.
We have arranged 100% commission in books, so every penny you spend goes towards helping to furnish our new library area.
If you are able to help could you please contact Mrs Brown in the school office and let her know what days you would be available.
We are also holding two storytime sessions on the Tuesday and Thursday during the book fair from 3.15-3.45 in the library area. All welcome.
End of School Day Child/ren Collection
Parents are reminded that should they need to re-arrange collection of their child/ren at the end of the school day, they must try to do this before school and let the class teacher know in advance.
Breakfast Club
The Breakfast Club is available Monday-Friday from 7.45am. Don’t forget, tomorrow is ‘Family Friday’, parents are invited to come along and enjoy a bacon sandwich, either to ‘Take Away’ or whilst you sit and chat with friends.
KS2 Homework Club
Starting after half term, Mrs Higgins will be running a Homework Club for Key Stage 2 on Monday lunchtimes between 12.00 and 12.30. It will be based in the ICT Suite and library, and will offer opportunities for children to access resources to help them complete homework. Homework Club is not intended to take the place of Home Learning. There will not be enough time in 30 minutes for children to complete all their homework, so the majority of work should still be done at home.
It will run on a drop-in basis, as most children will not need to attend every Monday, so there is no need to sign up. They just need to bring everything they need and come along ready to work!
