Friday updates

Happy Friday all,

 

We have had a lovely couple of weeks at school! Children's behaviour is continuing to be excellent with very few visits to Reflection time-the lowest in the last couple of years for this time of year- so we are super proud of all our children for showing Dovedale respect. General behaviours around school are calm and considerate.

 

We are also proud of how everyone pulled together once again to contribute to the food bank collection. The donations were piled high and the Long Eaton and Sawley food bank were very grateful for your contributions. See the Thank you below. The food in total weighed 341 KG.

 

A reminder that children should not be wearing jewellery to school other than stud earrings and functional watches. Hoops, bracelets and necklaces should not be worn. We do allow some charity bands at certain points in the year.

A heads up also that I have had to mention to a couple of children about the wearing of mascara to school. They will be asked to remove this with a hypoallergenic wipe if this occurs.

 

Last week also saw the children participate in the votes for school parliament representatives. Miss Nadin and Miss Hardaker created a voting centre for the children, complete with booths and the children entered to complete their slips and post into the ballot boxes. The winning candidates from each class will now form our House of Commons, with last year's House of Common's children becoming the new House of Lords. Our school parliament is an important and integral part of our children's voice, and we know they will make many important decisions this year in the best interests of their constituents (classes).

 

Please see below a leaflet with regard to a light party at All Saints Church hall on Sunday 3rd November.

 

Have a lovely weekend.
