On Wednesday 14 th May at 2.30pm Father Denis will celebrate a class Mass in school for Year 3. Parents and Grandparents are invited to join us for this occasion which will be followed by drinks and a celebration cake. The children will also receive their certificates on this day. After the Mass the children can get changed into their communion outfits and the photographer will be here to take both group and individual photographs. If you have any questions please ask Mr Allen. Year 5 Class Mass All Parents and Grandparents are invited to join us for the Year 5 Class Mass next Wednesday morning at 9.45am. Summer Term Curriculum Information Curriculum Information letters are now available on the school website http://www.st-paulshyde.tameside.sch.uk/index.php?page=303§ion=18 This letter tells everything that your child will be learning during the Summer Term. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher or if you require a paper copy of the letter please ask at the school office. School Crossing Patrol You may be aware that there has been no School Crossing Patroller on Victoria Street for a number of years now. The Governors of St Paul’s are aware of the dangers presented to the children and have agreed to fund this important provision. As from next Tuesday Mrs McDonald will be helping all of our children to stay safe on their journey to school as she starts her role as the School Crossing Patroller on Victoria Street. I’m sure that you will make her feel welcome as part of our school community. Visit from the Mayor Last Friday afternoon the Mayor, Councillor Joe Kitchen visited St Paul’s for a special assembly. The School Council elected a junior mayor – Harry (Y5). The Mayor talked to the children about his role as the Borough’s first citizen and explained a little about the history of the Tameside Mayoral Chain and Badge of Office and Borough Mace. The children then had the opportunity to participate in a question and answer session. We really enjoyed meeting the Mayor and learning about his role. Not many children have the chance to meet the mayor, so we feel very lucky to have had the opportunity. The questions asked were brilliant and we learnt many different things. This day will be remembered. Many thanks to the school. Harry and Izzy (Y5) Father Denis – Golden Jubilee Celebrations Thanks to those Parents who have returned their envelopes. Please ensure that envelopes are returned to school by Thursday 15th May. Sumdog Stars of the Week Our Sumdog stars for this week who answered the most questions in their class are:Y3 – Leah Y4 – Henri Y5 – Anneka Y6 – Samuel A special mention to Aneeka who has answered nearly 1800 during this week! Don’t forget to keep logging on to Sumdog to improve your Maths skills. Sad news Miss Krystyna Brzyski, one of our Foundation Governors, sadly died last week following her illness with cancer. She had only been on the Governing Body for a short time but had so much to offer to St Paul’s as a former teacher herself. I’m sure that you will remember her and her family in your prayers. Attendance 100% 98% 96% 94% 92% 90% 22/04/2014 - 25/04/2014 R 1 2 3 4 5 6 Congratulations to Years 3 and 5 with 100% attendance last week, followed closely by Year 6. I hope that Reception will improve their attendance record over the coming weeks. Unfortunately there are still a number of children arriving late for school each day. If lateness continues to be a concern then Parents may be charged with a Penalty Notice. Please remember all children should be in school at 8.55am. Holidays in Term Time A number of Parents have recently requested leave of absence for holidays during term time. The legislation changed in September 2013 so that Headteachers may not grant any leave of absence during term time unless there are exceptional circumstances. Any absences taken without the agreement of the school, or in excess of that agreed, will be classed as unauthorised and may attract a penalty notice. Message from Mrs Porter - School Dinners – New Menu Choice – Week 1 On Thursday 1st May we tried a recipe that Olivia (Y5) had brought into school ‘Coconut Cupcakes.’ They were really tasty. If any other children have any recipes they would like to show me and they are something that I am allowed to serve, I will try and use it. The recipe for Coconut Cupcakes will be in next weeks newsletter.
