GREASE EVENING
It’s time to get that fancy dress costume out and practise your ‘John Travolta’ moves! Our Grease night is on Friday 15th October at 7:30 p.m. All adults are welcome to attend, all you need to do is bring your drinks and a plate of food to share, as well as dressing up of course. Mama Mia was excellent event but I am certain that this is ‘the one that you want’!

Harvest Festival

MUSIC LESSONS
Just a reminder that guitar lessons will not take place on Monday 11th October due to the Class 3 trip. Lessons will resume on Monday 18th October.

FOS HALLOWEEN DISCO
Please remember the disco on Friday 22nd October from 6:00—7:30 p.m. Reception children need to be accompanied by an adult; please ensure that children do not wear masks—we don’t want anyone terrified! The cost is £2 per child.

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.

CYCLING PROFICIENCY
Year 6 children will be taking to the roads next week learning to ride their bicycles safely. Lessons will be in two groups and will take approximately an hour a day. Please remember your bicycles and helmets Year 6!

‘DIG FOR VICTORY’
Mickleton school is going back to the war years courtesy of Class 4 and their topic on World War II. As part of this very exciting unit of work the children have visited the Imperial War Museum in London. We are now looking at them creating a ‘dig for victory’ garden in the school grounds, complete with air-raid shelter. If you can offer any help or support in this venture then we would be delighted to hear from you. Please contact either Mr Webb or Mrs Geary. Thank you.

PARKING
I would like to request that you do not park in the Butcher’s Arms car park in the afternoons. The management of the public house are happy for us to use their facilities in the mornings but not the afternoons. We understand that it is frustrating not to be able to park in the school grounds. However, this decision is to safeguard the children and adults in the school community.

HARVEST FESTIVAL
This year our Harvest Festival service will take place on Monday 18th October at 10:00 a.m. in Mickleton Methodist Church. We are delighted to be visiting the Methodist Church and very pleased that the Methodist minister, Ros Murphy, will lead our celebration. Please could all children bring some fruit, vegetables or tinned food as a donation. These will be displayed during the service and will then be taken to people in the village for their use. There is not a great deal of room in the Methodist Church once we are all in there so audience places will be very limited. Thank you very much for your support.
