Dear Families
Please see below the latest Newsletter. As always, please take the time to look at the information within this Newsletter. It is available to view on the website and onto Dojo.
WINTER FAIR – WEDNESDAY 13TH DECEMBER
Just a reminder, we are getting excited about our upcoming Winter Fair.
If you would like to have a stall at the Winter Fair to sell your own products, please do message Victoria on dojo. The cost of hiring a stall is £20.
We will also need parent volunteers or ex-pupils to come along and run some of the stalls. If you are able to help or have any older children who would be happy to come along and help please do let me know.
Finally, there will be no Hub after school club taking place on the day of the Winter Fair.
ORAL HEALTH WORKSHOP 6TH DECEMBER
Marcia the dental Nurse from Kings College Hospital will be visiting our school for an Oral Health Workshop. This is to provide information about oral health.
The year groups effected are Nursery, Reception, Year’s 1, 2, 4 & 6 and will be participating during class time. A free toothbrush will also be included!
FOLLOW UP – EMOTION COACHING WORKSHOP 7TH DECEMBER
Last academic year many parents came to an Emotion Coaching workshop. We received very good feedback and a request from parents for a follow up session. The MHST Team are returning on 7th Dec to run this session from 9:00am – 10:00am.
This is for parents who attended the previous session only. If you’re not sure whether this applies to you please send Ceinwen Adeusi a private dojo message.
There is no need to book but it would be helpful if you leave a comment to let the school know if you are attending so that we have an idea of numbers
For any parents who did not attend the last session but are interested in Emotion Coaching workshops, we will be running new workshops after Christmas.
NON-UNIFORM DAY FRIDAY 1ST DECEMBER
We will be having a non-uniform day and asking children to bring in a donation for the Winter Fair. You can either donate £1 towards the running costs or bring in a bottle for our bottle tombola. It can be any kind of bottle from ketchup, soft drink, wine or shower gel! Be creative!
Thanks in advance for your support.
