This week

Good afternoon,

 

We will be holding our first Merit Assembly on Friday at 2.55pm, doors will open at 2.45pm for you. We will finish by 3.25pm, have the usual meet/congratulations and photos as the rest of the children leave the hall and return to classes, I would then ask all parents and family members to leave the hall and be ready to receive the children as normal. The area outside the hall will need to be clear for Class 1 & 2 to be dismissed. This may be a little hectic at first, but we will try and then refine if necessary.

 

Please remember to book school meals by Tuesday for the following week.

 

Bookings for wraparound care should be sent to office@sturton.notts.sch.uk by Friday at 3.30pm. Bookings taken after that may not be available due to allocated staffing.

On Saturday there is a ‘Heritage Evening’ being held in school but hosted by Reverend Cantrill and members of church, please see the attached poster for information. The evening starts at 7.00pm.

 

Looking ahead, on Friday 25th September we will be holding our Harvest Festival in Church at 9.00am, with refreshments in school afterwards. We are collecting for the Bassetlaw Food Bank, but our request for donations has a little bit of a twist…..We are aiming to create a ‘Rainbow’ of donations, please see attached when we did this before. Can we please ask that donations are in school by Thursday 24th September, we can then create the rainbow for all to see on the Friday.

Here are the colour requests for each year group:

Foundation – VIOLET/PURPLE

Year 1 – INDIGO/PURPLE

Year 2 – BLUE

Year 3 – GREEN

Year 4 – YELLOW

Year 5 – ORANGE

Year 6 – RED

Thank you, we look forward to seeing this come to fruition!

 

Have a lovely weekend.

 

Regards

Mark
