Beer C of E Primary School Mare Lane Beer, Seaton, Devon EX12 3NB Tel and Fax 01297 20077 Headteacher: Mr Martin O’Mahony Email:[email protected] www.beer-ce-primary.devon.sch.uk Chair of Governors: Mrs Jean Smith Friday 17th April 2015 26 Dear Parents, May I take this opportunity to welcome you back after the Easter break and I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather we are having. Beer really is a special place to come to school when the sun is shining. We have had plenty of children coming to school in shorts and summer dresses which is great but this does leave the children’s skin a little exposed, so please can you ensure your child has sun cream applied before they come to school and a hat to wear whilst at school. Similarly, there are days when raincoats are still needed as we do try to go outside for playtimes and lunchtimes whenever possible. Please can you also make sure that the children have their correct P.E kit in school as we do seem to have a number of children wearing inappropriate P.E clothing. From September 2015, the school is proposing to change the time by which it will be opening the doors to the school from 8.45am -8.50am. This is because our class based teaching assistants will be paid from 8.30am so that they can work with the teacher before the school starts; preparing lessons, reviewing planning and feeding back to each other. The time of registration will not change from 8.55am. From next week our Head Boy and Head Girl will ring the bell at 8.55am to symbolise the start of registration. Please see the attached dates for the rest of term. Next week I will be in school on Monday and Wednesday all day.

Classes 1 and 2 Beach Trip We are planning to go to the beach next Friday 24th April, in the morning, as part of our Humanities topic on Seaside Places. This is dependent on the weather and having enough parent helpers. Please could your child bring wellies to school and if it is sunny, please apply suncream in the morning and bring a sun hat. We will be doing a variety of activities on the beach and would welcome a number of parents as helpers. We will be leaving school at approximately 9.15am. Please see Mrs Timmins if you are able to help. Thank you.
