Baby Teddy’s grandma has sent us this lovely poem about starting school…

Teddy’s First Day At School
By Norma Bear

I am a little teddy bear,

My fur all curly and brown,

I’m usually bright and cheerful,

But today I wear a frown.

 

Why am I so worried

On this bright and sunny day?

I’m all dressed up in funny clothes,

Please let me go and play.

 

But now my mum won’t let me,

She says ‘Stay clean, my boy,

You have a new adventure,

Join the other bears with joy.’

 

With my new leather satchel,

I really look quite cool,

They have only just told me

It’s my very first day at school.

 

The new school year will start on Monday 12th September. The school has been very busy lately with preparing stuff for next year. Mr King has been very busy preparing new school afternoon sport clubs. We would also like to thank Mrs Lightfoot for making new school uniforms for our newly built shop. She has also been busy making costumes for the school play, The Dog in the Dress, which will be staged in January. Mr Wallace has been helpfully mowing our sports field, but the grass is still a bit long so he needs to do it again. We would finally like to thank all the year leaders in our school.

This week, we have taken school photos of the children. We will be sending a letter home and if you would like to buy your child’s photo, it will cost £10. Please send the slip, and money, to your class teacher.

Yours sincerely,

Mr King

 

School sports day will be held on Friday 24 June, from 5pm until 7pm, on the school field. The Key Stage 1 sports activities are: skipping, running and long jump. Sadly, there will be no egg and spoon race as we don’t have any eggs. Please keep your child’s PE kit in school until this day is over. There will be races for mummies and daddies; if you would like to enter, please tell the school office.

Yours sincerely,

Mr King and Mr Nigel

P.S. The children do not need to apply to do sports day.

A new breakfast club has opened in the school hall and preschool. Parents can drop off their little ones after 8am each morning. We are also planning to introduce an after-school club – more details will be announced soon.

Signed,
Shep Dog, Headmaster

Dear parents of choir children,

We will be doing a Christmas concert to parents, to sing to you the songs we have been learning in choir club. The concert will take place in the school hall at 3pm on Saturday 12th December. If the hall is full and parents are still outside, there will be another concert at 4pm. If you have any questions about this, please come to our school office and we will answer them.

Yours sincerely,

Mr King and Shep Dog

P.S. Tickets for the concert (two per child) will be handed out in class. If you only want one ticket, just throw one of them in the bin and use the other one.

P.P.S. All choir club children must be at the school on Saturday 12th December by 2:45pm.

The children are getting very excited about our Father Christmas visit. We will be seeing Rudolph and several of his other reindeer. Each child will receive a small gift and all parents who wanted their child to see Father Christmas will have to pay £7.95. More news about the event will be told in the next newsletter after the trip has happened.

Yours sincerely,

Shep Dog and Mr King

Welcome David the Dragon from Wales. Our new pupil has joined us from Rhos-y-Gwaliau, where he attended the Outdoor Learning Centre school. He loves rock climbing and caving.

To help him settle in, here are some Welsh words:

Croeso (welcome)

Helô (hello)

Bore Da (good morning)

Diolch yn fawr (thanks)

Ble mae’r toiled ? (where’s the toilet?)
