The school photographer was in school on Monday, and was very impressed by our model children – they certainly know how to strike a pose! All children should have come home with a unique code to access the photos via the Tiny Pixels website, please pop into the office if you’re having any trouble.
The weather was a little less kind for this week’s Forest School session, but the infants had lots of fun den building in the woods, you can see their pictures on our Facebook page!
The Library Bus was here on Tuesday – unfortunately a number of children were unable to swap or renew books as they hadn’t brought them into school. Please ensure books are available in school when needed.
Due to the poor weather the Cross Country event due to take place at Tatham Fells has been rescheduled for next Wednesday afternoon. All details and children participating remain the same.

This afternoon, the children have been lucky enough to hear ‘The Masongill Trio’ practising, they are supporting the Lancaster and District Male Voice Choir at the Church this evening.

Music Concert – TONIGHT @ 7pm – ‘Lancaster and District Male Voice Choir’ are performing a concert at Leck St Peter’s Church to raise money for the building fund. Tickets are available from Cowan Bridge Stores.

Welfare Assistant – on Tuesday, we sadly said goodbye to Mrs Moorby as she returned to college to retrain as a hairdresser. We wish her every success.

This leaves us with a welfare assistant vacancy on Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 11.45am – 1.15pm (term time only). We need someone to help serve meals and supervise the children during their midday break. Please contact the office for more details.

Infants Forest School – the infants will be continuing their Forest School Adventures on Tuesday morning with a visit to the wooded area here at school. They will need appropriate outdoor clothing suitable for the weather. If they have waterproof trousers please send them, as the ground is often damp even if it’s not actually raining.

Reception – as part of our topic work in class, please can all reception children bring in a photograph of themselves with their immediate family for Monday. Thank you.

Reception Children Class Photo – the photographer will be coming into school on Friday 4th October in the morning to take a photo of our reception children for the Lancaster Guardian ‘School Starters’ feature.

Parents Meetings – the first parents evening of this school year is on Wednesday 9th October from 2.00-6.30pm. Appointment sheets will be available outside the school office from Monday and parents are invited to come into school and indicate their preferred 10-minute time slot. Parents of children in Reception should book a double to allow sufficient time to discuss all aspects of school life and how children have settled. Parents can telephone the office to reserve their appointments if they can’t make it into school.

Walk to School Breakfast Trek – our first “Walk to School” of this academic year is on Thursday 10th October at 8.20am from Cowan Bridge Village Hall. Those taking part will be rewarded with a lovely breakfast.
