SS Peter Paul RC Primary School 9th September 2016 Dear Parents/ Carers, Welcome back to a new school term, it’s hard to believe that the summer holidays are over. The children have returned to school a credit to you all; smart, alert and ready to learn. Throughout the school there is a great working atmosphere and we are ready to begin some new projects. The staff and I look forward to an exciting and productive term with you and your children. Mrs M Butt

PARENT WORKSHOPS YEARS 1 TO 6 10th -14th October We hold learning workshops to inform parents about the curriculum, daily school life and how parents can support the children in their learning at home. This year you are invited into your child’s classroom where the children will perform a little assembly telling you about what they have been learning in class. There will be a particular focus on English. The assembly will be followed by a mini information session for parents.
HEALTHY SCHOOL INITIATIVE As a healthy school we promote healthy eating and would request your co-operation in encouraging the children to bring healthy nutritious choices in their packed lunches. No fizzy drinks please and biscuits, cakes and crisps should be limited wherever possible. Children are also encouraged to bring a small bottle of water (not juice) to school to keep in the classroom. This bottle will be brought into school each day and taken home each night to be refilled.
