21st November
To all Parents/Caregivers,
Athletics day
A huge thank you to all of the families who supported yesterday’s
Athletics Day. Once again this annual event was a real highlight to the year.
The children were fantastic and it was such a pleasure watching them trying so
hard and supporting each other win, lose or draw. Another highlight was seeing
such a warm family atmosphere with participation from younger brothers and
sisters. Thanks so much to all of the staff, as Athletics day is one of the many times of
the year I get to look around and feel so proud and fortunate to have such a
great team.
Milk in Schools
Starting on Monday we are very excited to announce that
Waltham School will be an official ‘Milk in Schools’ participant. What this
means is that Monday-Thursday all students that choose to participate will be
given a free serving of milk to drink. The system works in the same way as our
Fruit in Schools, where children will have the milk delivered to the classroom
and all those who want it will be
able to have a box. We will be trialling it after lunch initially as a part of
the afternoon session.
If your child has any allergies or intolerances to milk or you would
like to discuss their participation for any reason could you please phone the
office and let us know urgently.
Waltham Star Search
Next Friday 28th later in the morning we will
be holding the finals of our Waltham Star Search. The children who entered will
be performing to their own classes over the next few days and those who make it
through next Fridays public performance will be confirmed on Monday. Once we
know how many performers we will have in the show we will decide on an exact
start time. If your child is chosen to perform
next Friday we will send home the exact details and start time early next week. Parents and friends are
welcome to come along and cheer the performers on. A huge
thank you to Mrs Atherton and Mrs Planika for organising this great new event.
School Holidays
I have had a few people ask me again about finish dates for
this year and start dates for 2015. Our
final day for normal classes is Monday 15th December when we will
also be having our Final Prize-Giving Assembly. School will be open for
supervision and tidy ups all day Tuesday
16th and the morning of
Wednesday 17th until 12:30pm for those families who choose. School opens for 2015 on Monday 2nd
February.
Kind regards
Gordon Caddie
Principal
