VOLUNTEER READING HELPERS IN CLASS... CAN YOU OFFER SOME TIME?
We are very grateful to all volunteer helpers who have already registered with us this year.  Some classes have no volunteers yet, so we have a number of sessions where help is required. 
Volunteer help is a very important part of school life and if you feel able to offer anytime, we would be pleased to hear from you.  To help in school you will need to have a DBS check which can be arranged through the office.

WHOLE CLASS MUSIC – CLASS PLDD
As part of the SCC ‘Wider Opportunities’ scheme we have Clarinets for all pupils in class PLDD.  Over this year the children will receive whole class music lessons on a Wednesday with Miss Cochrane, a tutor from the County Music Service.  After a few weeks the children will be able to take the instruments home on loan to practice. 
Parents will be required to complete a loan agreement form and return it to the office before your child takes the instrument.  Forms will be handed out shortly.

WATER BOTTLES
We would like to remind parents to provide their child with a filled water bottle for school; ideally with a ‘sports cap’ that will not leak in book bags.  We have water fountains in 3 activity areas and on the playgrounds so children may re-fill their bottle if they need to. 
PLEASE NOTE the indoor water fountains CANNOT be drunk from directly, which is why a water bottle is necessary.  NO SQUASH in bottles please, just water.

 PLEASE REMEMBER TO NAME ALL YOUR CHILD’S CLOTHES & BELONGINGS
