Staff
Some of you may have heard that Mrs Dunnington is leaving us as Site Supervisor for pastures new, Alison has been a hugely valued member of the team and will be sorely missed. We are sure you’ll join us in wishing her all the very best in her new job.

Reception Class Photo Orders
There is still time to order a copy of the reception class photo at a reduced price, please complete the slip on the bottom of this week’s newsletter and return your payment on or before Monday 21st November, many thanks.

Infant Forest School Visit
The infants will be continuing their Forest School Adventures on Monday 21st November with a visit to the woodland area here at Leck School. They will need waterproofs and wellies with warm socks and since we’re experiencing this cold spell, please ensure they come in plenty of layers and hats, scarves and gloves please. We will be providing a packed lunch and our usual snack so there’s no need to send anything in.

Squareball Festival at LRGS
Children from years 3 and 4 will be attending a Squareball event at LRGS on Friday 25th November. This is similar to netball but the children throw the ball at a square rather than a net! Parents of those children involved will find an information sheet in this week’s Friday bag.

Let’s Talk Turkey!
Overleaf, you will find an order form for a special Christmas Lunch on Friday 16th December. If you child already receives a school lunch that day, then you do not need to complete the form. However, if you child would like lunch that day, please send in your completed form by 5th December (to allow the kitchen to order the turkey). If you’d like to pay now cheques should be made payable to Lancashire County Council, or we will invoice you later.

New Water Main / Parking
In the next couple of weeks work will be commencing on a new water main into school, this will involve digging in the church car park – during this time please park on the side closest to the church and ensure no children are coming and going from the car park on their own. Also, may we politely remind you to use the church car park to drop children off in a morning unless you’re using breakfast club. This is to ensure children’s safety due to the school bus coming and going.

PFTA Fundraising While Christmas Shopping
In this week’s bag, you’ll find an information sheet regarding the easy fundraising scheme set up by the PTFA.
