We believe that it is important to celebrate achievements.  As part of our 'Good to be Green' behaviour and reward system, each week, children may be given a certificate, a gold letter from a member of staff or a certificate from Mr Dickinson or Miss James.  Here is a list of some of the children who have received an award this week:

ATTENDANCE

Sandwell Local Authority are funding vouchers for those entitled to income based free school meals in February Half Term. If you think that you may be eligible please go to:

https://www.sandwell.gov.uk/info/200151/education_benefits/2176/free_school_meals.

If your child is in Reception – Year 2 and receives universal free school meals, this does not automatically entitle them to a voucher – they are issued to those in receipt of income based free school meals only. If you earn less than £16,190 per annum or are in receipt of benefits (Not Working tax credits) then you may be entitled to income based free school meals and should apply online.

For further details follow the link or contact the school office and ask for Mrs Lowe.

In nursery we have been learning all about People Who Help Us.  Encourage your child to talk about different people in their lives, and our world, who help them.   Such as parents, teachers, doctors, fire fighters, police.  How do these people help us? What do they do? Can they think of some questions that they might ask these professions?

Please send healthy break time snacks into school, such as fruit or vegetable sticks.  Please don't send crisps or chocolate for break.  

If your child brings a packed lunch, here are some ideas of what you could include.
