1. COLDER WEATHER

Brrrrr, the weather has turned this week!

We aim to get outside at playtime whatever the weather, so with the colder temperatures, we encourage children to bring gloves, a hat and scarf into school. Children should also bring a coat to school every day. Please name these items.

2. ABSENCE NOTIFICATIONS

If you report an absence using the MCAS app, please include a clear reason for why your child is not in school. Without this, we may need to call you for more information.

If your child has a pre-arranged medical appointment, you can also let us know through MCAS. Please upload any supporting information (a screenshot of a letter, or of an electronic appointment, are acceptable). Thank you for your support.

3. DOES YOUR CHILD STRUGGLE TO SLEEP?

A reminder of the in-school coffee event on Friday 5 December 2025, 14:00 to 15:00 with guest speaker Neil Stanley, ‘The Sleep Expert’. Don’t miss it! We will be sending a sign-up form out for this next week.

4. CHRISTMAS MOVIE NIGHT - THURSDAY 11 DECEMBER

5. POSTER COMPETITION

Children are invited to design a poster to share the health and safety messages of being near or around construction sites. The winning posters will be displayed on the construction boards at Pilgrim Hospital. Attached is a flyer with more information.

6. ROAD SAFETY WEEK

We had a great visit from the police and PCSOs yesterday who talked to the children about road safety. We talked about how to cross a road safely, whilst not looking down at phones! We also talked about the importance of seatbelts.
