Reminders for the start of the New Term

21st January 2009

Dear parents

I hope you all had an enjoyable holiday. In this letter are a few reminders for the start of a new term and also some of the dates that we have already arranged for this term.

UNIFORM

Please make sure that your child comes to school in the correct uniform. This also includes the correct PE kit. All uniform MUST be labeled making it much easier to return any lost items.

SCHOOL ABSENCE

When a child is absent from school please make sure you inform the school on the first day of absence and when your child returns to school please send in a letter if absent for more than one day.

PE LESSONS

PE is a compulsory National Curriculum subject and as such all children are expected to take part unless they have a vulnerable physical injury or a pre-existing medical condition that could be adversely affected by physical exertion eg asthma. When the weather is very cold lessons will be taken inside.

SCHOOL WEBSITE

We now have our own school website. This contains general information about the school. There is also the facility read about any events we have planned, club information and letters we have sent out. This will allow you to check dates etc of upcoming events, from home.

The website address is www.parsloes.bardaglea.org.uk.

Thank you for your support in these matters.

Year Four Swimming

Thursday 8th January 2009

Dear Parents of pupils in Year 4,

Children in Year 4 will now be attending Dagenham Swimming pool, to continue their swimming lessons.

Class 4AR will start swimming lessons again on Tuesday 13th January with their last lesson on Tuesday 27th January.
Lessons will now be in the morning, so children will be leaving school at 9.30am and returning by playtime.

Class 4C’s lessons will start on Tuesday 3rd February.

Kindly note the following points:-
1. Swimming is part of the National Curriculum and all children are expected to attend lessons. If your child is in school they will be expected to go swimming. Only children with vulnerable injuries are not expected to go eg broken limb etc.
2. Please ensure your child has the correct equipment. Girls are allowed to wear one piece costumes only and boys must wear swimming trunks and not shorts. All children must wear swimming hats; these can be purchased at the swimming pool.( £1.50). You could purchase swimming trunks/ costumes and swimming bags from the schools’ uniform shop.
3. If your child brings in money to purchase a hat on the day, this should be given to his class teacher who will arrange for this.
4. Please check to see if your child has a verruca. If so please get some treatment for it. Children can still attend lessons but a verruca sock must be worn. Once again, Dagenham Swimming Pool have these for sale.
5. If your child has an inhaler in school, please tell him/ her that it should be taken to the Pool each week and returned to the office afterwards.
6. Children should normally attend swimming lessons NOT wearing goggles. If there is a medical reason for your child to wear goggles, they must be safety goggles. Parents must accept responsibility for any injury caused through wearing them and therefore are required to sign a disclaimer which is available from the school office.
With apologies for so many ‘rules’ but they are intended to ensure that lessons run smoothly and children enjoy them.
Parents of pupils in Class 4C must sign and return the attached permission slip by Friday 30th January 2009 , as their first
lesson is on Tuesday 3rd February 2009

Yours sincerely


Mrs A. Lipski
Head Teacher
