LOTS OF LEARNING
The term has started really well, with lots of exciting learning already taking place in school.
Pirate Ron visited Year 2 on Wednesday. The children had lots of fun with him, watching a pirate puppet show and then making their own pirate puppets.
Year 6 visited Haden Hill House on Tuesday as part of their learning all about World War two. They enjoyed dressing up in wartime clothes, taking part in evacuee and air raid experiences and finding out about rationing.

WATER BOTTLES
All children need to bring a clearly named water bottle to school every day to ensure that they can have access to drinking water throughout the school day. Please ensure that these bottles contain only unflavoured water and not squash. No glass bottles please and please be mindful that bottles need washing daily.

RECEPTION PLACES: We still have a small number of spaces left in our fabulous Reception class. For further info, please pop into school or contact us via the contact details overleaf or pop in to the school office at any time.

ATTENDANCE
Well done to Reception for being the best attending class last week (95.6%).
Please remember that children should be in school every day, unless they really are too poorly to attend, in which case parents should inform school before 9.10am. Usually, having a bit of a cough or a cold should not prevent children from coming to school.

SECOND HAND UNIFORM
At Tame Valley we fully understand the financial pressures of keeping ever-growing children in school uniform. Therefore, in the last week of every half term, we will be holding a second hand uniform sale. There will be 2 ways of buying uniform:
Each item can be purchased for 50p.
Clean, good quality items of uniform that you no longer require can be brought in and swapped for alternative items.
If anyone has any unwanted uniform items that they would like to donate, please send them into school washed and ready to find their new home. All proceeds made will go into school fund and will be put towards improving the playground for our children.

In addition to the diary dates sent out last week, please also note that school will be closed to children on the following days:
Friday 21st December 2018
