Newsletter 6.3.26
Dear Parents/Carers,
The children had a ball on world book day! Whether dressed up in costume, or dressed down in PJs, they enjoyed and engaged in all the fun. The primary aim is always to reinforce and ignite a passion for books and the beauty of turning a page in anticipation of what is coming next! Thanks to you for your support at home, all the teachers for getting involved and Mrs Holden for sharing all the resources. See pics on the socials 🙂.
Parents' Evening and Book Fair WB 16/3/26
The book fair will run every night that week after school in the hall and late on the parents' evening nights. If you have not booked a parents' evening slot, please contact your child's teacher via SeeSaw.
Quick reminders:
-
I have contacted Wigan Council (transport unit) regarding the inconsistency of crossing patrols on Highfield Grange. In the meantime, please take extra care on the crossings; I have reiterated this to the children in assembly.
-
Similarly, please encourage children to wear helmets when cycling to school, no matter the age. I am really impressed with the Y6s, who are great role models in doing this.
Message from the Planet Protectors
We are taking part in the Big Plastic Count. From the 9th to the 15th March the children will be counting every piece of plastic that is recycled or goes in the bin. They will be bringing home a recording sheet on Monday 9th March. Please pop this on your fridge and help your child count and record the plastic.
Please can forms be back for 16th March. Thank you for your support. The Planet Protectors.
