Our Own Ducklings
It all began when a duck was spotted in our quad on Monday 12th April.
These eggs were discovered on Friday 7th May.
This morning, Mr Chaloner discovered that the eggs had hatched!! How many can you see?
This morning, we have been visited by Sanya Hulme from the RSPCA who has adviced us to keep the chicks where they are as they are safe in their current environment.
As the chicks get older ‘mum’ may leave them for longer periods of time but she will return. They only need mum for warmth as they quickly become independent.
In approximately 3 months time, when the chicks have grown proper feathers, they will fly away!
GOVERNOR OF THE WEEK – HELENA MONDS
WHY I BECAME A GOVERNOR:
There was a vacancy for a parent-governor in 2015 just as I had decided to take a career break from teaching to spend time with my young family. My eldest child was then in Reception and I had two more children who would be starting at All Saints’ when their turn came, so I decided to apply for the position as we were going to be involved with the school for many years to come and I wanted to be able to give something back.
MY ROLE IN SCHOOL:
I am a Parent Governor and also the Safeguarding Governor as well as serving on the Curriculum Committee. I am also the Class Governor Friend for Year 5 and am looking forward to hopefully being able to spend some more time in school with them next year, before they leave us for pastures new at the end of Year 6. As a qualified Primary School teacher myself, I have volunteered in various year groups to be an ‘extra pair of hands’ and have had the privilege of accompanying different classes on a range of school trips and extra-curricular experiences.
ENCOURAGING WORDS TO CHILDREN AND PARENTS:
As a parent, a volunteer and a governor I am in the lucky position of getting to see the school from various points of view - and all of them are good! The past 12 months have been challenging for everyone and now, more than ever, our children are so fortunate to be at a school where all the staff truly care about, not only their education, but also their emotional well-being and resilience.
A message from the PTA 
Find the hidden gems of Marple and help to raise money for our lovely school!
To help raise funds for more school resources and fantastic events like the History Van, the Parents' Association have created a Summer Treasure Trail around Marple.
The trail has been designed so that you can participate with your own household/bubble following the social distancing restrictions that are in place at the time. It involves a short circular walk (wheelchair/buggy accessible) answering questions about what you can see around the centre of Marple, starting and ending at School.
If you would like to take part, please send your entry fee via ParentPay and the link will be sent out to you via Tapestry in time for the half term break. Suggested donation £1 per family
