Autumn term 2010 4th - 6th October Yr 6 trip to Carroty Wood Centre Next week is half term holiday. School reopens for the children on Monday 22nd February at 8.50am Mr RhodesIt is with mixed emotions that we inform you that Mr Rhodes will be leaving St. Matthew's at the end of March to take up the post of Headteacher at Woodmansterne Primary School. This is a well-deserved promotion. Although we are delighted for Mr Rhodes, we will of course miss him here at St Matthew's. He gives a lot to our school and the children. We will shortly be advertising for a new deputy headteacher and will keep parents informed. It is likely that the new deputy headteacher will start at St Matthew's in September 2010. Mrs YoungWe send our very best wishes to Mrs Young as she begins her maternity leave. Mrs Young is a teaching assistant in Year 6 and also works at our breakfast club. HaitiWell done to class 2R who have raised nearly £50 for the Haiti appeal by collecting change from family and friends. Thank you to everyone who has contributed. This idea and the desire to help came from the children themselves, showing their care for others in the wider world. Football - St Matthew's 0 Sandcross 0Our team played extremely well to hold strong opposition to a draw. Well done! Please can we again remind parents not to walk through the car park. Some nursery afternoon parents are particularly guilty of this, allowing their small children to run through the car park. We do not want anyone to be hurt or killed. Please use the pedestrian paths. MUSIC
Have you started learning to play brass, woodwind or drums?
"Blast Off!" ensemble meets Thursdays 4.30pm - 6.00pm This would be good for Year 4 children who are learning the clarinet. Parents evenings
Monday 1st March 3.30pm - 6.00pm (Years 5 & 6 have additional times on Tuesday 2nd March 3.30pm - 6.00pm so that parents can meet with maths and literacy group teachers as well as the class teacher.) Please return the booking slip for parents evening to your child's teacher. Your confirmed appointment time will be sent to parents the week after half term. The expectation is that all parents come to these opportunities to discuss your child's progress with their teacher . It really does benefit your child. We would request that separated parents come together - this helps both parents to hear the same information and also ensures there are enough appointment slots for everyone. Clubs during parents evening week
On - football, JAM, choir, chess, art, creative club Parent VoiceYou are invited! Coffee, cakes and conversation!
Friday 26th February at 9am Do join with school staff to meet together informally for coffee and to discuss how we can continue to make our school a great place for our children. The focus this time will be to talk about future social and fundraising activities for the children and possibly adults too. Ideas already suggested include a family games afternoon and summer picnic. The morning will also include the PTA annual meeting items. If you would like to be involved in specific roles eg chairperson, secretary, treasurer please contact the office.
Do come along on the 26th with your ideas and suggestions. Your attendance will not commit you to anything! Breakfast Club
