Dear Parents/Carers

Thank you to all those who attended the “Safe Surfing” drop in on Monday. The children have had Internet Safety lessons this week. Miss Roberson took an assembly on Internet Safety and Father Caspar took Collective Worship on Tuesday. School Governors are visiting lessons and staff over the next week.

Sport

The football team won their match against Summercourt

Cake Sale

Penhaligon Cake Sale last Friday raised £67.50. Many thanks to all involved. No sale next week as it’s a non-pupil day.

FOPS Meeting

Next meeting will be after school on Monday 11th February in Miss Radcliffe’s classroom. All welcome.

BAG2SCHOOL collection day Tuesday 12th February from the Parents Shelter.

Don’t forget it’s bag2shool collection day next Tuesday 12th. All children have now been given a collection bag. Please fill with good quality adult and child clothes, bedding, hats, bags, cuddly toys, shoes tied together. Bags should be left in the Parents Shelter on that morning. A van will take them from the school and we are paid by weight. If you fill your bag and still have more to donate then simply use a bin bag – they still count! It’s a great opportunity for a clear out and to help raise funds for the school. Ask your friends and neighbours too!!

Muddy Path

I apologise for the state of the path outside St Piran’s Class. This is due to the new building works and I have been in contact with County regarding this on several occasions so hopefully it will soon be resolved.

Aspirations Day 14th February

The children have been asked to come to school dressed as what they aspire to be/have as a career. This should be great fun.

Staff Training

A reminder that there is a non-pupil day on Friday 15th February so that the staff can join other local schools for training.

HALF TERM – 18TH – 22ND FEBRUARY

THE WELCOME – 1ST MARCH

END OF TERM – 28TH MARCH

Dear Parents/Carers

CAKE SALE ON FRIDAYS

Thanks to Trevithick Class who raised £49 and St Piran Class who raised £60.50. Today is Penhaligon’s turn and next week is Boscawen. Empty tins are returned to the “community room” if they have not been collected.

BAGS2SCHOOL FUNDRAISING  12TH FEBRUARY

FOPS have arranged this for us and everyone can get involved. Look out for your free collection bag next week. Please fill with good quality clothes, bedding, curtains, soft toys, belts, handbags and shoes (tied together). Simply return to school on the morning of Tuesday 12^th February. The bags are taken and weighed and the school gets 50p per kilo. Simple! A great way to have a Spring clearout. Posters will be around the school next week.

SPORT

Mrs Smitheram amd Mrs Edwards took children from Boscawen Class to a tournament in Newquay in which Ellie won a medal for best defender. The football team had a successful win against Summercourt School.

THE WELCOME
Mrs Bell is holding a meeting at 6p.m. on Monday 4th February to organise this year’s St Piran’s Day “welcome” which will be on Friday 1st March. This is a fantastic community event and everyone is welcome to come to the meeting, particularly new parents who have not experienced this before,

SAFE SURFING

Are you aware of the Internet issues that children can be subject to? Do you know what your child knows? Pop in and have a coffee and a chat from 9.00 a.m on Monday 4^th February. Our ICT advisor, Glyn Pascoe will be here as well as Miss Roberson and Mrs Ballinger to answer any questions and astound you with the latest updates!

SCHOOL MEALS

There will be a special menu for Chinese New Year on 7^th February and Shrove Tuesday on 12^th February.

LATENESS

I met with Mrs Valentine, the Education Welfare Officer this week to discuss attendance and lateness. She will be contacting those families who have been late on several occasions since September. The register is a legal document so if a child arrives after 9.a.m the code will be for lateness, but after 9.15a.m, it will be classed as an unauthorized absence.

I am sure that you understand the need for children to have a settled start to the day.

FUTURE DATES:

NON- PUPIL DAY- 15^th FEBRUARY

HALF TERM 18^th-22^nd FEBRUARY

THE WELCOME- 1^st MARCH

END OF TERM 28^th MARCH

SUMMER TERM 15^TH APRIL-19^th JULY
