Countdown to Christmas

How quickly the term seems to be passing and the countdown to Christmas has begun in earnest in school today- the magnificent tree adding to the excitement! With all the preparations for Christmas it really is a lovely time of year to be in school. I do hope you will find time to join us at one or more of our events. I am immensely proud of the hard work the children and staff are putting in to make these as successful as possible.

A ‘Christmas 16’ letter was sent out last week giving all the dates/ information…call in to the office if you missed it, posters are around school and the website and Facebook page have been updated too in the hope no one misses out! A reminder of the day’s activity will be displayed on our outside board and via Facebook.

Children in Need

The House Captains raised £252 for the charity with their non uniform day. Well done William, Keira, Kaitlin, Sophie, Freya and Radley!

CLUBS

The only clubs running over the next 2 weeks have been organised by the PTA. A new list of clubs will be circulated after the holidays and the starting date will be on that letter.

5th Dec
Craft Club / 6th Dec
Film Night /
12th Dec
Games Night / 13th Dec
Bingo Night / 14th Dec
School Disco

All money raised from these events will contribute to the cost of the Pantomime, Christmas dinner and gift that every child will receive so please support them wherever you can- thank you!

Parents In Class Sessions

Due to the busy preparations these are now on hold until after Christmas. After the holidays, Parents/Grandparents are invited into school on a weekly basis to work alongside their child in class on their numeracy targets. Please come along and join us on:

WINTER WEATHER

With the weather being very unpredictable I wanted to remind you about our current arrangements. School closure will be:

·  given out on the local radio stations: Heart 102.7 and Lincs FM 102.2

·  put on the school website- www.tydd-st-mary.lincs.sch.uk. and our Facebook page

·  or alternatively you can contact school direct 01945 420269 (the phone will be manned from 7:45 onwards)

A decision to close the school will normally have been made by 7:30

a.m (unless heavy showers occur after this time)

Photos

We are continually uploading pictures of all our activities on the school website so that you can keep up to date with everything your children are doing. If you haven’t taken a look in a while please visit the photo gallery at www.tydd-st-mary.lincs.sch.uk
