Summer Weather Now that the nice weather seems to be with us, I would like to remind you of the need for every child in Key Stages One and Two to have their own named water bottle. In Nursery and Reception, children do not need a water bottle as school provide water for them. Please ensure that this is filled with water only - no juice or other drinks are allowed and will be replaced with water by the class teacher. Please be sun-aware and apply suncream to your children before school. You may also send cream in with your child to apply it themselves. Sun hats and sunglasses are allowed and encouraged during this term. Uniform Please ensure that your child wears appropriate footwear for school. Black shoes are acceptable, as are sandals. Boots or trainers are not to be worn. There must be no jewellery worn in school. The only exceptions are small studs for those with pierced ears, or a wristwatch. Please remove any nail-polish or temporary tattoos that your child may be wearing.

Mr Beattie Social Media The school is keen to use twitter as a means to communicate with you all. Our twitter address is: @PlantationSch. We are now up to the 200 followers mark. It is so important to exercise caution with social media sites. We continue to receive complaints from a number of upset parents and children regarding inappropriate messages being sent online. The complaints include inappropriate text messages being sent between pupils by mobile Holiday Club Easter Holiday club was a great success with lots of new friendships being forged. Children enjoyed puppet-making, basketball and football, as well as creating their own pizzas. The all-day ‘Frozen’ party was a particular highlight! We are pleased to let you know that the holiday club will be running again during the next halfterm. The club will be available from 8.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. It starts after the Bank Holiday Monday on Tuesday 26th May (excluding Saturdays and Sundays). The cost for a full day will be £20 and a half day (8 a.m. – 12.30 p.m. or 1 p.m. – 5.30 p.m.) will be £10. Children will need to bring a packed lunch and a morning and afternoon snack and drink dependant on the sessions they will attend. Please note that the club will not offer breakfast, lunch or afternoon snack to the children. If you would like to book a place please contact the school office as soon as possible as places are sure to fill up quickly. phone. Also, we increasingly are experiencing large scale fallouts between pupils because of inappropriate messages being sent via Facebook, Instagram, PS network, XBOX live and Oovoo and similar. We ask, as parents, that you discuss this matter with your child and review and monitor their use of such platforms. Technically, our children are not old enough to be accessing some of these sites and are not appreciating the damage and upset caused through the inappropriate use of them. A useful document called Share Aware was produced very recently in how to go about this. This can be downloaded from www.nspcc.org.uk
