Welcome back to Term 2!

We have a very busy term planned. Attached with this bulletin is a copy of the Term 2 Calendar as a reminder of the events going on.  

As always, if there is anything you would like us to know, or ask, come and speak with a member of staff at the office or message our info@tr.keystonemat.org account. We’re always happy to hear feedback, help, listen, or answer your questions.

1. ODD SOCK DAY

Monday 10 November is Odd Sock Day, which marks the start of Anti-Bullying Week. Children should wear their school uniform as usual, but jazz it up with a pair of mis-matched socks. The brighter and wilder the better!  It’s a day to celebrate individuality and uniqueness, and a reminder that it’s okay to be different.   Children do not need to make a donation to do this.

Attached is a poster drawn by Victoria (Y6), a member of our school parliament.

2. POPPIES

We still have some poppy items available which will be available for sale on Monday morning before school.  These are the only items left.

• Poppy reflectors – 50p
• Material wristbands - £1.00
• Paper poppies – 50p
• Stickers – 20p

3. POSSIBLE DISRUPTION TO PHONE LINES

On Monday 10 November and Tuesday 11 November, we are having our phone lines updated.  We have been told there will be no disruption to the phone lines; however, if the phone is not working, that is why. You can always message us via email and MCAS as normal.

4. VOTES FOR SCHOOL

Don’t forget to vote in this week’s Votes for Schools topics. It has been a really interesting discussion about screen time this week, and we’d love to hear your thoughts!

Would a digital detox help you? (Y4-6) | Could you go screen-free for a day? (Y1-3)

5. CHILDREN IN NEED

Friday 14 November is BBC Children in Need. All children are invited to wear non-uniform to school next Friday.  If you wish, you can make a donation online.  We shall not be asking the children to make a donation in school.  Pudsey Bear will be visiting us on Thursday in readiness for the big day on Friday.   Donate to BBC Children in Need
