SCOTT LOWER SCHOOL
Messages from Mrs Barker……UPDATE AND REMINDERS
W/E 5/06/15
ISSUE 33
As we are fast approaching the summer holidays. I wanted to remind you all about the importance of having a school bookbag, rather than a back-pack in school. Back-packs do not fit into the children’s drawers and they fall off their pegs, causing
a trip hazard! You are able to order book bags from Tesco directly, please go to tesco.com/ues.
PLEA - Summer Fayre Helpers needed urgently please see Emma Barker (PTA Chair) Thank you in advance for you
support.

Early Years Safety by PC Cray Birch
Many thanks to Cray Birch, who came into Early Years to talk
to our children about ‘Safer Strangers’, what to do if they get
lost and ‘Safer Buildings’. The children learnt so much about
staying safe and they particularly enjoyed getting into the
police car.
Our Year 1 children had a fabulous
time in the woods dressed as pirates
earlier this week. They had a
wonderful time following clues which
lead to treasure!
PTA Sponsored Bounce raised a massive £1019.08p.
Thank you to everyone who sponsored the children.
These are our ‘Superstars of the week’ ~ Well done!

PLEASE make sure that your child’s lunch box is clearly named to
avoid them picking up the wrong one and starting on someone
else’s lunch just because it looks the same.
This applies to everything else that your child brings in or wears to
school – it is vitally important that you CLEARLY name
EVERYTHING. It is extremely time consuming trying to match
children with their belongings and it also causes unnecessary
upset for them when they mislay something!
Thank you for your co-operation.
COFFEE MORNING every Friday morning from 9.00.-10.00
Please come along and join us for coffee and a chat. Make friends and swap ideas. Chat
about anything and everything – a problem shared is a problem halved!!
THANK YOU
Jodi and Andy Devine-Chinneck would like to say a Massive
thank you to all the parents, children, teachers and staff of
Scott Lower School for their unbelievable kindness and
generosity in the aftermath of their house fire.
The love and support they have received has been truly
breath-taking. Thank you so much!
Thought for the week…..
‘Kind words can be short and easy to speak but
their echoes are truly endless!’
