We have managed to survive the wet weather and are hoping for a drier weekend! The children
have made an excellent start to the school year, with all our pupils and staff working really hard and playing their part fully to help us to continue moving forward as a school. Start of the School Day We would just like to remind parents of the arrangements at the start of the school day. The school day begins at 8.55am, when pupils line up on the playground and enter the school promptly to begin their learning. Pupils and parents are welcome on the school premises at 8.45am, when we also have members of staff on duty to ensure the safety and welfare of our pupils on the playground. During inclement weather the school doors will only open at 8.45am to allow children into school. We ask that parents leave their children at the school doors and allow pupils to come into school independently, as the corridors become quickly congested and very wet and therefore a safety issue. We would ask that if you and your child arrive at school before 8.45am that you remain with them until a member of staff is present. During inclement weather, the pavilion is available for shelter until 8.45am, when, as outlined above, pupils can then enter the school building and be supervised by our teaching staff. Again we ask that pupils are left to enter the building alone, to foster independence and enable them to enter in their classroom in a safe and calm manner. We thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

We will soon be sending out details regarding Football Coaching for these year-groups. This will be
provided by David Campbell Soccer, who delivered excellent coaching for our Year 3 and 4 children last
year. Unfortunately, Tom the coach who delivered the training, has recently been injured. Therefore, we
are in the process of making alternative arrangements which is why there has been a delay in sending
out a letter to parents. Further information will be sent out next week, when all the arrangements have
