Please do your best to make sure your child is
In School and On Time. Be in the line for 10 to 9!
WOW! Every single class has HIT the target!!
Family Learning
Our Family learning sessions will continue on Monday mornings through the spring
term. The children really enjoyed their first session and I am confident that parents and
grandparents are finding the sessions valuable in their support with children’s home
learning.
Privilege Card Reward
As a reward for receiving 5 privilege cards during autumn and spring half terms some
children will be allowed to have their own non-uniform Day on Friday 27th February.
Children should have already brought their special privilege card letter home by now.
Parent Forum
Members of our parent forum met at the end of term and shared their views with
members of the senior leadership team. Our next meeting takes place on Monday 23 rd
March. Thank you to the parents who were able to make the meeting and for your
suggestions on how to improve what we are doing for our children. It is vitally important
that school and home work together closely so that we can do the best for our children.
Friends of St Stephens
Thank you for your support with the PTA film night last term and the Valentines disco at
the end of term. The next event will be the End of term Easter Disco which takes place
on Friday 27th March. The next meeting of the Friends of St Stephens takes place on
Wednesday 11th March and parents and grandparents are more than welcome. We will
be planning ahead for the summer term which is always packed with exciting activities
for our children. Children are already talking about the St Stephens Got Talent Evening!!
World Book Day
This takes place on Friday 6th March and the children as usual are very excited about
the prospect of joining in. The school council have met with Miss Davies and decided
that they want to dress up as book characters. We also have our Extreme Reading
Competition and I know that lots of children have been busy snapping themselves
reading over the half term. Children will participate in a range of book making activities
throughout the day. Prizes will be awarded to the most exciting photographs brought
into school on the day. We also have the Travelling Book Fair visiting school
on Wednesday 25th February until Tuesday 3rd March. Parents can purchase books
from 8.30am each morning and after school each day. Please support us by buying
your child a new book. The commission on sales is very good and we are able to
purchase brand new books for our school library. Your support with this in the past has
been fantastic.
Red Nose Day
This takes place on Friday 13th March and the children have decided that they will make
their faces FUNNY for red nose day. It will be a non-uniform day and the children can
bring in £1 towards the Red Nose collection. We will also be selling the Snotty
Professor, Astrosnort, Snoutdracula and many more Red Noses. Children can buy
these for a pound from Monday 9th March.
After School Clubs
During spring term (now the weather is improving??) children can take part in a range of
after school clubs. It is important that arrangements are made to have children collected
by a responsible adult from the safe area outside year 4 and 5. Children must not be
collected from the front entrance as this is used by FABBS Parents,
Parents who allow children to walk home must make school aware of this if they haven’t
done already. We do not encourage children younger than Year 5 to walk home by
themselves.

family commitment Mrs Carr will be available to parents on Tuesday 24 th and
