Dear Parents,
The Trim Trail Has Arrived! |
The big event of the week is the arrival of our Trim Trail. It has been very exciting for everyone to see it emerge at the end of the netball court during the course of the week. We have been rewarded for the wait. It is an excellent addition to our playground. The children have told us that it is ‘cool!’ They are very pleased with it. We will have an official opening at the summer fair tomorrow, at 11.10am when Chris Myers, the chair of the PTA, will cut the ribbon. The PTA gave the school £3000.00 towards the Trim Trail. We will, however, cordon it off during the fair (supervising it would have been a problem!) but please take a look tomorrow.
The next phase, Phase 3 is the arrival of the Tyre Park which will be located between the Trim Trail and the path. We need just over £5000.00 – and with your help, we will raise it – at events like tomorrow’s fair.
An Opportunity with the Macclesfield Express
|
As you may know, Mrs Gallagher entered the school into a competition with the Macclesfield Express for a ‘playground makeover.’ We have learned that we are one of the three finalists to receive free materials & labour from the ROK Building Company. This would provide us with another aspect of our playground project being done – free of charge. Details will be sent home on Wednesday to explain how you can vote and help us win.
Cabaret Evening – 2nd July |
Tickets for the Cabaret evening are now sold out. If you have a ticket but find you cannot come after all, please return it school. Thank you.
Preparations for tomorrow’s Summer Fair are well advanced. We are going to have a wonderful fair and raise money for our Tyre Park! Please do come along to the fair and help us if you can spare an hour to man a stall or help us clear up at the end. The time slots that we need help to fill are: 11am till 12.10, 12.10 till 1.20 and 1.20 till 2.30. Please ring our organiser, Michelle Massey on 01625 876644 to let her know.
The main wish is that you come along on the day and enjoy the fair, between 11.00am and 2.30pm. Don’t forget, our Choir will be performing at 11.15am and the School Swing Band at 12.00 outside Mrs Gallagher’s classroom facing the field.
New Date For Dinner Dance |
The dinner dance in aid of the Rett Syndrome Association will now take place on Saturday 13th December at Marple Golf Club. Tickets and information can be sought from Dr Leather on 872488 or by email on Carolynleather@doctors.org.uk
All library books should be returned to the school library before the end of term. They can be returned at any time and placed in the collection box in the library. Mrs Russell, our librarian is usually in the library between 1.00 and 3.00pm on Wednesdays, should you wish to query the books on loan. It is also interesting to know that the books obtained from our book fair sales have started arriving and are filling up our shelves and making a difference. Thank you!

We have had a favourable response for a new school bank helper. Mrs Asquith will take over from Mrs Hanson at the end of this term. Thank you, again, to Mrs Hanson for her work with the bank and to Mrs Asquith for taking it on.
- What a fantastic Seaside Day took place at the end of last week! To see the children enjoy the day so much was so pleasing – laying their towels out on the grass, playing in the sand and enjoying traditional beach games. Click here to see the photo gallery. There is an extensive ‘beach’ in Mrs Carding/Marshall’s class where the beach goes on. To see photos click here.
- Several issues were discussed by the Pupil Forum on Monday, including the cinema in Poynton, school uniform and transition. It was great to see two former Lower Park children representing Poynton High School.
