Happy Friday everyone!
Parent consultation phone calls
We hope you found this week’s parent phone calls helpful. Our teachers were able to have very positive conversations with a vast majority of families. If you missed the calls this time, we’ll be repeating the process in the new year and will share the next update on your child’s learning then.
Warm coats and warm clothes
As this bulletin goes ‘live’, the rain is pouring and the temperature has dipped. With this in mind, please ensure your child has a warm, waterproof coat every day. It is probably good to think about footwear and gloves / hats too. Thank you.
Christmas @ Edenside – some reminders
A Christmas clothes ‘swap shop’ is being organised by our Parent Council. If you have any Christmas jumpers / t-shirts / outfits that you don’t want, please send to school as soon as possible. They will then be washed and bagged before being made available for other children.
Christmas jumpers or other festive clothing can be worn every day of the last week of term, with normal uniform.
Christmas cards are strongly discouraged. We introduced this approach last year, in line with our ‘sustainability’ efforts. In place of Christmas cards, children will add their name and a message to our Christmas message board in the entrance hall.
Parent Council News – fundraising events reminders
