NEW WHOLE SCHOOL ‘HOUSE’ SYSTEM
27th January 2010
Dear parents,
This is to inform you that last week we launched our new ‘houses’ for all pupils to be part of. A house is the team to which they belong and can earn rewards. The children agreed the new names for these houses which are:
Flying Team Rangers ( green)
Dream Team ( red)
All Stars ( blue)
Yellow Phoenix ( yellow)
Our ‘houses’ will continue to include all brothers and sisters together in one house.
The pupils will be taught leadership skills and have a vital part to play within these ‘houses’.
The pupils will also be experiencing a ‘house hour’. Every Tuesday afternoon for one hour all pupils will work in their houses and work on key skills. These will include such things as respect, perseverance, valuing others, working together and supporting one another.
Many of these key skills form the basis of the Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL), which is part of our School Development Plan. If you would like to know more about the SEAL curriculum please do take a look at the following website - nationalstrategies.dcsf.gov.uk/primary/seal.
As you know we work closely with Creative Partnerships. We will therefore have other professionals working in school every Tuesday. Their skills include radio broadcasting, acting, illustrating, documentary making and making music. We are sure you will agree that the children will get many great opportunities working with these professionals.
We will keep you updated on our work as it progresses.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. A. Lipski
Head Teacher

School Closures
Thursday 7th January 2010
Dear Parents,
SCHOOL CLOSURES
Unfortunately the borough’s website has not been accessible this morning, so I do apologise for any of you who tried to find out if our school was open on this.
Our own school website was updated to say we would be open today.
Following updated weather information we decided to close after lunch today, to allow all children and staff to get home safely.
I am sure many of you, as I do, appreciate the efforts of all our staff to get into school so that we have been able to open.
If the weather does not improve overnight, we will probably not be able to open the school tomorrow. A definite decision will be made by 7am tomorrow morning and will be posted on our website.
Please check the school website in the morning and or call the school as a message will be left on the answer machine. We will also send group call messages, providing this service is running.
Thank you again for your co-operation.
Yours sincerely

Swimming Year 4
Tuesday 5th January 2010
Dear Parents of pupils in Year 4,
Children in Class 4H will be attending Dagenham Swimming pool, this year, to improve their confidence and competence in water.
From Tuesday 12th January will start attending their swimming lessons. The children will be collected by coach at 9.10am and their swimming lessons start at 9.30am, so please ensure your child is in school on time.
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.
Please remember to sign and return the attached permission slip by Friday 8th January , as Class 4H’s first lesson is on Tuesday 12th January 2010.
Yours sincerely
