Hector’s World – Internet Safety
Tuesday was Internet Safety Day and the ‘Hector’s World’ information sheet overleaf outlines how you can help to ensure your child uses the internet safely.
Birthdays
Please note that in line with the Healthy Schools Policy we request that if your child has a birthday and you wish to provide a ‘treat’ for the class can you please provide fairy cakes only. If sweets or chocolate are brought into school they will not be distributed. Also, as we do have a number of children with severe food allergies and intolerance, it is inappropriate to distribute them after school on school premises. Thank you for your continued support in keeping our children safe. Please see Nursery staff for their policy on birthday treats.
PTA Meeting
There will be a PTA Meeting on Tuesday 23rd February at 6.00pm in school – all are welcome to attend.
Class 5 Assembly
This will take place on Friday 26th February at 9.00am in the school hall. Parents / carers are welcome to come along.
