This week is the final week to enter our Fantastic Quad Mural Competition! Each child in school has the opportunity to design a mural for the walls of the small quad- the winning design from each class will be enlarged and painted by their class to display on the walls. As this area will be our allotment it may be useful to include ideas about plants, planting, flowers, and our brilliant school. We cant wait to see all the entries and to present them to our judges Please return your childs entry labelled with their name and class by Friday 26th October 2012 A brilliant chance to have your artwork on display forever in our school garden!!

Parenting Week is approaching soon- keep an eye out for fun events and activities for you and your child!!!

Every year, Parents Week hails the amazing contribution parents make to their childrens lives. The theme of Parents Week 2012, taking place from 22 - 28 October, is Make A Moment. Well be celebrating those moments that make being a child and being a parent so special. With all the extra pressures modern parents face, it can be difficult to find the time that children really need. Please send us in a photo to share in our assembly and our entrance. Electronic would be great but print will do. Being there for children isnt about paying for expensive toys or day trips. Its about the time and attention you give. Whether you have five minutes, half an hour, or longer, sharing a moment is what its all about letting your child know that you love them and taking a moment to give them your full attention, whatever youre up to at the time. So join us for Parents Week 2012 and help us to... - Celebrate the hard work parents do - Raise awareness of the importance of spending quality one-to-one time with a child We all know what a hard job it is to raise children and we all want to do the best we possibly can, lets work together to see provide the best opportunities and experiences for our children. Thank you Miss Tulloch
