Newsletter No. 3: Autumn Term 2007

Friday 21st September 2007

-------------   Children are the future  -------------

Curriculum Information for Parents

If your child is in Year 1 – 6 or LSC1, LSC2, SLC2 or ASC2 accompanying this newsletter is an information booklet designed to provide you with an overview of the topics and subject areas your child will be covering during this academic year.  We hope that by providing you with this information you will be better able to support your child’s learning. Curriculum information for Nursery, Reception, SLC1 and ASC1 will follow shortly.

Lick Child Poverty Day

Next Friday the 28th September is Child Poverty day. The theme this year is ‘Bring Back Playtime.’  We are supporting the charity Action Aid by having a cake sale in the hall at break time. Please help us bake and donate! The children may also bring their own clothes into school and they can change at playtime for a cost of 50p. Everyone deserves a happy childhood and by taking part in Child Poverty day, you can help support work with millions of children who have to work and have no time to attend school or play with friend.

Sports News

Well done to all those children who took part in our first football fixture of this season against St. Oswalds.
