Dear Parents/ Carers,

On Thursday 13th February we will be holding a Careers Fair in the school hall, where all children will have the opportunity to visit the hall and talk to people about the job they do.

The idea is to inspire and engage the children in whole range of jobs they might like to do in the future. Children will be thinking about how the skills they learn in school are transferred into future careers.

The Careers Fair will be between 1.30pm and 3pm. The hall will be set out with tables, like a market.

Can you help? If you are available and are prepared to be in our hall ready to talk about your job, then we would love to include you in our Careers Fair. You may decide to bring in things to show to the children or leaflets to give out.

Ideally, I would love a range of Careers represented in the hall.

If you are able to offer your time to help then please phone the school office or email me directly:

Thank you,

Mr Rotherham

If your child is playing in the 3/4 or 5/6 football team in a game on Wednesday please can they bring their kits tomorrow (Tuesday).

Mr Humphries will do a practise with them over lunchtime.

The children need to get changed promptly at 12pm, go into lunch first and then meet Mr Humphries on the field.

Have a super weekend

Mr M

Children will have brought home a letter last night outlining our exciting Pet Day on Friday 24th January. A copy of that letter is included here too.

It is a fab day, with the intention of learning all about how to care for our pets.

The reply slip is to be returned to the teacher outlining permission for your child to participate. (Any child who is anxious around animals will not be expected to be around those animals and will be safely away from pets when in class)

Teacher would like to hear about any pets that children have and that may be available to be brought in by yourself for a short, timed visit in school. Teachers will arrange this with you directly as they will be wanting to arrange a range of different pets across the day.

Sadly, not everyone will be able to bring a pet into school. We will be encouraging any child who wants to talk and share about their pet to bring in a photograph to share. There will be time in the day for everyone to talk about their own pet.

We are excited to say we are being visited by local vet, Mike Madden and also by Jelly Exotic Pets, who will be talking to the children during the day too.

Sounds like a fun day!!

Concerns have been raised around the way some parents are driving and parking along Avenue road, especially at drop off time in the morning. Cars have been seen to mount the kerbs as children and other parents are walking along. The advice given by the Police in this matter is for parents with concerns to call 101 directly to report those traffic concerns or to do so through the Telford and Wrekin Public Protection site and contact the Neighbourhood Enforcement Team.
