Whole School Letter 17 10 January 2012
Dear Parents
Advance notice of Mystery Week (Book Week) 6/2/2012 - 10/2/2012
As you may be aware at St Francis we hold a Book Week every other year. This year we are using mystery stories as a theme and combining books with other arts activities such as dance and drama.
Author Visits
We are pleased to have the poet Paul Cookson returning again and will be welcoming a new face to St Francis, the storyteller and author Chris Connaughton.
Book Sale
We will be holding a book sale on two evenings after school. Children will be given the opportunity to browse the books beforehand during the school day.
Dance and Drama
We will be working with staff from The Point and Thornden School.
Charity Book Sale
Some of the children have suggested we hold a charity book sale. We will be asking children to bring in, with parents’ permission, a maximum of two books in good condition and age appropriate which will be sold in school for 20p a book.
Dressing up Day
We will be holding a dressing up day and asking children to come dressed as book characters which the other children will try to identify.
Competitions
There will be a number of competitions running during the week starting with a design a poster competition which runs until 16th January. Children have been given full details which are also on the website.
We are anticipating a fun week with lots of activities for the children to enjoy.
Zebra Crossing
For a number of years parents have expressed concerns that children cycling to school have to cross the front of the school car park to access the cycle shelter. Having reviewed the situation the Governors have decided that the quickest and simplest solution is to create a Zebra Crossing for the cyclists within the school car park.
This will cross, inside the car park, near the entrance and exit, allowing cyclists to walk their bikes across, away from the road. The Zebra Crossing will be completed this week, weather permitting. Motorists entering and exiting the car park have to give priority to users of the Zebra Crossing. The use of the Zebra Crossing will be monitored and reviewed within the next twelve months.
Yours sincerely
