CLASS NEWS Children in Class 1 are looking forward to a visit from the Police next week - all in the name of learning about people who help us. I am sure that Class 1 will behave impeccably and will learn a great deal. Class 2 have been working hard on writing about The Phoenix. Their ideas and writing have been superb. I am sure that we will see some of this work on display in school soon. Class 3 have been marvellous ambassadors working with Year 3 / 4 from St David’s School, Moreton-in-Marsh. They have visited St David’s and hosted the other class at Mickleton and have produced articles about drought and flood in Kenya and England. These are very professional and informative. We will be sending our articles to Siron Primary school as part of our ongoing work with the Kenyan school. Class 4 is working very hard. Their emotive letter writing was excellent as you will have heard if you attended last week’s praise assembly. They are also studying the Victorians and finding it fascinating. No-one has yet asked the staff what they did in Victorian times but I am sure it can only be a matter of time!

OUR NEW ICT EQUIPMENT IN SCHOOL IS FABULOUS. COMING SOON - A FILM NIGHT IN SCHOOL TO MAKE FULL USE OF IT.

SCHOOL ADMISSIONS SEPTEMBER 2010 We look forward to welcoming many new children to our Reception class in September. If you, or a friend, have applied for a place at Mickleton please be aware that Gloucestershire is often later at confirming places than both Warwickshire and Worcestershire. This does not mean that you have not secured a place here at Mickleton. If you have any questions regarding admissions then please do come in and see me.

FOOD IN SCHOOL As I am sure you are aware we have a child in school with an allergy to nuts. I would like to remind all parents, including parents of Nursery children, that no nuts or nut-related products, e.g. some cereal bars / flapjacks, are allowed in school. This is for safety reasons. Thank you for your co-operation. HAITI EARTHQUAKE APPEAL Once again, thank you so much for the donations of cakes and cash that you made last week for our mammoth coffee morning to raise money for Haiti. We were delighted with the response from the whole village. To date we have raised £420. I am sure you will agree that this is an amazing amount for a small community. Thank you. Welcome to Courtney Melville and Toby Smith who have joined us at Mickleton Primary School. We are sure that you will enjoy your time here.
