National Storytelling Week

This week is National Storytelling Week. Everyday this week all of the teachers are swapping classes to tell and read stories to children across the whole school. The children have all really enjoyed their stories today (and so have the teachers!). Perhaps the children might like to tell you about the stories they have heard today or it might be an ideal opportunity to share a story at home.

Happy storytelling.

Winter Weather Guidance

 

In the event of a heavy fall of snow

• Class registration will be taken at 9.15 to allow staff and children time to travel to school;
• Children will be allowed to have fun in the snow;
• Come in Wellington/Boots – don’t forget your hat, scarf and gloves;
• Bring a change of shoes;
• Bring a change of clothes (jogging bottoms are a good idea) and socks;
• If there is heavy snow during the day please listen to the radio;
• Please ring the school to advise them of arrangements for collection of your child if you are delayed;
• In the unlikely event of the school having to close a message will be posted on the school website as soon as is practical (swallowfieldprimary.com) or listen to Heart, Chiltern or Three Counties Radio;
• On bringing your child to school please ensure that the school is open;
• Please ensure the school office has up to date contact numbers – in order to allow the text messaging service (Groupcall) to work.

World Book Day

This year World Book Day falls on Thursday 2nd March 2017. On this day we will be planning all sorts of fun, book related activities to celebrate and it would be fantastic if the children could come to school dressed as one of their favourite book characters. All children attending that day can participate and we thought you might appreciate some time to get creative! We look forward to sharing this fun-packed day with the children. If you need any help or advice please speak to your child’s class teacher.
