All of next week is ‘Looking After Ourselves’ week at Stead Lane and the children will be taking part in various activities so will need their full P.E. kit every day, suitable for indoors and outdoors. We are always trying to encourage the children to eat healthily and next week will be awarding the healthiest packed lunch with a prize. We have various leaflets to share with parents/carers and these will be displayed every day at 3.00pm in the hall.

Just a reminder - we are holding our Harvest Festivals on Friday 17th October at Bedlington Colliery Methodist Church at Bedlington Station. Our Years 3 & 4 children will hold theirs at 10.00am and Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 will hold theirs at 1.30pm. Family and friends please meet at the church. We hope to see you all there.

As detailed in last week’s newsletter, we are holding our Parent’s evenings on Tuesday 14th and Wednesday 15th October. Times are still available with your child’s teacher, so please sign up outside their classroom every day from 3.00pm.

From September 08 the children in Nursery and Reception will be following a new curriculum (EYFS). This will mean that the children will be spending more time outdoors (in various weather conditions). We do have some supplies of waterproof clothing but it would be much appreciated if all children could be provided with warm, waterproof outdoor clothing and a supply of spare clothes (particularly socks and trousers). Thank you for your co-operation.

Please make sure children have their named P.E. kit on Mondays and Thursdays. Thank you.

Our Reception class require large boxes (from washers, fridges, TVs etc), so if anyone has any we would be very grateful for them! We also require dolls clothes and equipment for our home corner (child size ironing boards, high chairs, cots etc). Thank you.

There will be a final opportunity to claim any lost property in the school hall on Monday 21st July at 3.00pm. Any unclaimed items will be disposed of after this time.

School will close on Wednesday 23rd July at 1.30pm for the summer break and there will be no afternoon Nursery session on this day. Please fill out a reply slip (available from the office) so we know you are aware of this. Thank you.

Children in main school will be holding their sports day on Thursday 17th July. If your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 sports will begin at 10.30am, if your child is in Year 3 or Year 4 they will begin at 1.30pm. We hope you will come along and support our children. Could all children please have their P.E. kits in school all week, so they have them if needed.

Exploring the outdoor area.

Mrs. Kinghorn works in Reception and does Breakfast Club. She helps you on the computer and gets you in a good mood in the morning.

Mrs. Rowley is a fun Reception teacher because she reads good stories and she gives the children lots of things to do and lots of things to play with.
