Good afternoon Parents/Carers,

This is a polite reminder to all Parents/Carers that if you wish your child to order a school lunch, can we please ask that you ensure you have sufficient funds on your account at all times.  As you are aware, it is the Parents/Carers responsibility to check and ensure they have sufficient credit on their ParentPay account by 8.30 am on the days they wish their child to order.

School lunches are ordered and charged at registration every morning.

If you do experience any problems then please let me know.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Many thanks

Kind Regards

Dear Parents/Carers,

On Wednesday 16th July, Year 6 are hosting a Bake Sale at break time to raise money for school. If children would like to buy cakes, please could they bring money on Wednesday. We would really appreciate any donations. Please note all monies/donations to be in an envelope and to be taken to classroom with your child as the school office cannot take in money.

Dear Year 1 &  Year 2 Parents/Carers,

Please note that Sports Day for Key Stage 1 has been cancelled due to the grass being too wet.  We will advise you once we have rearranged another date.  Apologies for the inconvenience.

Regards,

Mrs Y Jones

Office Manager

Good morning Parents,

Unfortunately, extremely dry conditions followed by heavy rain early this morning has made the field slippery and unsafe to use for our Key Stage 1 sports day morning. Please accept our apologies, but the children's safety will always come first.
We will provide an alternative date later on today and let you know. Ironically the weather looks fabulous from tomorrow for the rest of this term.

We are hoping that the sun comes out and dries the grass enough to have our EYFS sports day later on today, as the field should have time to dry out. But please monitor your Dojo messages just in case. 

Thank you for your understanding.

Miss Morgan

Assistant Head Teacher

Dear Parents/Carers,

Tomorrow is Olton’s in-school transition day and children who are currently in Nursery up to Year 5 will spend the day in their new classroom with their new teacher.  Many of our Year 6 children will also have a transition day at their secondary school tomorrow or over the next week or so and you will have been contacted directly by the secondary school about the arrangements for this day.

Although the children will spend the day in their new classes for September, tomorrow their start and finish times will still be the same as they are at the moment.  This means that even though our Year 2 children will spend the day with their Year 3 teacher, their soft start time is still 8:40am-8:50am and their finish time will still be 3:10pm.

When children arrive in the morning they will go to their current class.  Once everyone is registered, all the children will move to their new classroom to spend the whole day with the teacher they will have next year.  This means that when you collect at the end of the school day, you will need to go to your child’s new classroom or to the playground.

If your child is in the juniors or moving up to Year 3, they will need to be collected from the KS2 playground at the end of the day.  If your child is going to be in Wallabies with Mrs Lewis from September, please collect directly from the Wallabies’ classroom door in the lower school block (where Mrs Lewis is with Pandas currently) at 3pm.

If your child is currently in Nursery, Reception or Year 1, please collect from their new classroom at 3:10pm.

If you are trying to locate a classroom at the end of the day, Mr Chamberlain and Mrs Gray will be on hand to direct you.  Below is some information which may help you navigate your way around the school site.

·     Infant block (side nearest to the road) as you enter from the gate that leads off the main drive the classrooms are in the following order:

Sea Lions, Dolphins, Otters, Meerkats, Bobcats, Lemmings.

·     Infant block (side nearest to the field) as you look along with the infant block to your left, the classrooms are in the following order:

Wallabies, Seals, Whales, Penguins, Chameleons/Robins.

We hope that by collecting the children from their new classroom or on the playground will enable you to meet their new teacher at the end of the day.

Transition day is designed to help the children familiarise themselves with their new environment and teacher to support a smooth transition in September.  We hope the children have an enjoyable day. 

Please speak to your child’s teacher if you have any queries. 

Yours sincerely,

Mr L Chamberlain          Mrs E Gray
