Dear Parents/carers

World Book Day:

Our children looked amazing as they dressed up for World Book Day. From children in their pyjamas ready to snuggle up with a good book to those dressed in a variety of costumes representing well known book characters, it was wonderful to see our pupils engage with this special day. Thank you for all the effort put in from home too.

Pancakes:

We had a lovely day on the 10^th February eating pancakes with a variety of toppings. Thank you for all your kind donations. We are going to use the money raised to buy some new playtime equipment.

Parents Evening:

Our next parents evenings will take place on Tuesday 7^th March and Wednesday 8^th March. Appointments can be made using the online system: https://gomersalstmarysce.parentseveningsystem.co.uk/

School Uniform Bank:

If you are able to donate any uniform in good condition, we would be very grateful. We are particularly short of KS1 cardigans for girls.

Headlice:

Please can I ask that you check your child’s head regularly for headlice. We have had a few cases in school and so it is important that this is being treated so we can keep on top of this condition. Thank you for your support.

Don’t forget our tea-time club is open to help you with childcare needs. It is open from 3pm to 6pm. There are 2 prices for tea-time club: up until 5pm it is £7.50 whereas after this it is £10. Children will get a light tea and drinks during this time. Please book your child in with the school office to avoid disappointment.

Coffee Morning:

All welcome to our informal Coffee /Tea mornings (drink and natter). These are held every Tuesday after dropping your children off at School (8.45 till 10.00am). Under school age children welcome too as there are lots of toys for them to play with. Please join us in the Children’s Centre with Mrs Boyle supplying the drinks and biscuits.
