Newsletter 26.04.24
Dear Parents/Carers,
Firstly, would you give your children a pat on the back from me to say well done for promoting and living out our school core values. We have had various visitors to school this week, and I have been complemented by them separately on how determined, polite and respectful our children were in class and around school.
New Starters 24
We are looking forward to seeing parents of our new starters to our welcome meeting on Tuesday 21st May. Please feel free to arrive from 5.30pm onwards; we are aiming to begin at 6pm. If you have not already done so, please email the office to accept your child's place at school. We still have a few places available for September, so if friends or family are moving into the area etc, please ask them to contact the school office for a tour – it would be great to meet them.
Healthy Living Week
WB Monday 20th May pupils will be taking part in lots of exciting activities delivered by experienced coaches, trainers, instructors & teachers including all with the main aim of promoting healthy lifestyles for our pupils. Please check out the separate PM next week from Mrs Johnstone and Mrs Heaton for all the details.
Marus Bridge Summer Fest 2024
Don't forget to keep Saturday 8th June free in your diary to come down to school and join in the fun – it is shaping up to be a cracking event! There is a non-uniform day on Friday 24th May for tombola items – Mrs Atkinson will send the details of that soon. If you can offer some of your time to help in any way at the Summer Fest, please let our FOMBA chair Adam know on 07730131000. Visit the FOMBA Facebook site too for all the details!
Football
We are proud of the Y6 football team, who beat St Paul’s comfortably this week – a talented bunch who gelled very nicely according to Mr Duncalf. Great feedback and onwards to the next match.
Finally
Thank you for the kind donations to the local family who suffered such loss in the house fire recently. A big shout out to Oliver in Y3, who purchased a giftcard to donate from his pocket money – immense kindness that really embodies our school core values.
