SCHOOL FIELD THANKS
We would like to say than you to the very generous people who lavished care and attention on our school field over the Summer. It looks fabulous. Thank you Mr Coldicott and Mr Organ.

MICKLETON NEEDS YOU! - At present we are looking for a new parent governor to join our governing body. Please see Mrs Geary if you are interested. The job requires someone who is enthusiastic about education, who is willing to work in a team and who wants the best for our children here. Could this be you? We hope so.

Please be aware that the zebra crossing on the high street by the roundabout can be dangerous. Please ensure that your children wait for traffic from both directions to stop. Thank you.

If you have a talent or skill which you would be willing to share with us, please contact school. We’d love to hear from you. Thank you.

NEW ‘WAKE & SHAKE’ GAMES
We would like to say a massive ‘thank you’ to our Friends of School who have provided some marvellous new ‘wake & shake’ games. As you have probably seen the children love the new activities and so does Mrs Walker! We shall soon have a whole generation of children who are adept at circus skills. It is lovely to see the children playing so happily in our morning sessions. Thank you so much to everyone.

NEW CLAVINOVA
Well, as promised, we have ordered our new Clavinova for Mrs Gilks to use when accompanying us. The £566 raised at Mary Poppins has been used and we have once again been helped by Mickleton FOS. Mrs Gilks is so excited she can barely contain herself! We should take delivery of this
masterpiece of a machine on Monday; watch out for the fabulous sounds emanating from the hall. I am told it does everything but make tea—shame. It will allow us to have backing tracks and to transpose music so that it is not too high to sing. We can’t wait. Thank you FOS from everyone (and especially Mrs Gilks).

SCHOOL CALENDAR 2011
You should have received a letter this week informing you that the calendar ‘photo shoot’ will be on Friday October 1st. Mrs Barnett has worked very hard to allocate children to different months; all children should have received a letter today telling them which month they are in and what costume they need. If your child has not received this letter then please see Mrs Barnett. Our theme is ‘curriculum subjects’ and we are really looking forward to creating some very interesting ‘lessons’ to be photographed. Once again we are seeking sponsors. If you would like to sponsor a month then the cost is £40. Please see Mrs Barnett and she will do the necessary.
