Mickleton Primary
School

Open day report
Our open day on the 20th January was a great success. We were visited by at least fifteen families and lots of people from Mickleton came to look at the new school too. Thank you to the Friends of the School who provided the refreshments and also to the children and staff who were fabulous ambassadors for our school. We hope to see more visitors to our school in the near future.

GLOBAL DIMENSION TRUST
We are delighted to report that our link with Siron school in Kenya is on its way. Over half term Mrs Geary will be visiting Kenya to work with the staff and children there. She will be taking work, letters and presents from Mickleton with her and will hopefully bring back many ideas and offers of friendship. We will then be able to plan events, learning activities and other visits to strengthen our links with Kenya and allow our children to understand what life is like for other children in a very different country. I would like to take pencils and paper as gifts to Siron. If you have any spare items which you would donate the FOS will be putting a collecting box in the foyer. Thank you for your support.

FRIENDS OF MICKLETON SCHOOL
The Friends of the School have offered to operate a uniform re-cycling scheme at school. If you have any uniform which is in good condition but too small for your children please donate it to school so that it can be used again by others. Thank you.
VALENTINES DISCO
The Valentine Disco will take place on Friday 13th February from 6:30 —8:30 p.m. There will be games and ‘spot prize’ competitions too. All children are welcome. The cost is £1.50 for the first child and 50 p for each sibling. Siblings up to year 7 are also welcome. Squash will be free whilst sweets, crisps and drinks will be available to purchase. As it is ‘Valentines’ please wear something red!
Don’t forget to put the date in your diaries and
keep dancing!
