    Dear School Family, 

     

    We could not be prouder of our amazing year 6s they shone brighter than we could have even imagined during their SATs week and are rightly feeling very proud and ready to make some amazing memories during their last few months with us. 

    Nev Phillips

    School Governor



    Nev Phillips, who is our Health and Safety Link Governor and Governor Friend to Class 4 came in last week to see how our staff and children were getting on with the SATS.

     

    He commented on how impressed he was with the high level of organisation and the relaxed and caring atmosphere. A notable feature was when the children were invited to say a prayer at the beginning of the test which was a calming, sensitive and in keeping with the All Saints’ Way. 

    Nev also noted that the children’s behaviour was exemplary and that it was good to see a provision of support for when children needed it.

     

    Thank you also to all of you as parents for continually supporting and encouraging your children. They are a real credit to you and you should be so proud of them.

     

    Sue Woodgate

    School Governor

    Reception Class would like to send a huge thank you to Sue Woodgate for organising our sponsored trip with New Horizons last week. 

    We absolutely loved every minute of it and we all learned so much about a very important charity that we are lucky to have access to in our local area. 

    A special thank you also to our class friend, Tom Braide who came along to help for the whole day and made sure we had lots of fun too!!

    We would also like to add a huge thank you to Miss McConnell for all her hard work making sure the trip was such a huge success!

    Jubilee Celebration Picnic on Friday 27th May, 12-1pm – See flyer sent out on 3rd May.

    Jubilee Litter Pick

    A message from Cllr Aaron Thornley.

     

    We are looking for litter pick teams to do a small litter pick at the Marple Jubilee event on Friday 3rd June. It would be wonderful if some children and families from All Saints’ community could join in this event on the day.

     

    If anyone would like to come along for the litter pick (it will not be complex or strenuous) please meet me at the First Aid tent at 4pm.

     

    Please share on tapestry any pictures of you getting involved in such a worthwhile community event and it would be especially great for our Young Leaders in Year 5!

     

     

    Plastics Count – 

    WHY IS THE COUNT SO URGENT NOW? This year, the government is starting to decide on legal targets for reducing plastic waste. But at the moment, there’s nowhere near enough information about how much plastic waste leaves UK households, or what happens to it. The new evidence we gather will be crucial to convince the government to set a target to reduce single-use plastic by 50% by 2025 (by transitioning to reusable packaging which caters to everyone’s needs) – and ban dumping UK plastic waste on other countries.

     

    ARE YOU READY TO COUNT? Attached, you’ll find all the information you’ll need to prepare for the count, what to do during the count, and how to submit your findings afterwards. It couldn’t be easier. Thank you for joining this nationwide investigation into plastic waste. Simply bookmark thebigplasticcount.com/submit so you’re ready to start tallying on 16 May.

     

    Message from The Parents` Association

    The Parents' Association would like to invite you to our next meeting on Tuesday 24th May, 8pm at The Crown. New members very welcome! (If you would like to help but can't make the meeting, please let us know via the Parents' Association page on Facebook.)

    Lunchhound Rollout to Parents

     

    Exciting news – we have now rolled out our new school meal ordering system to parents which means you will now be able to order your children’s meals form home. Whilst we transition to this new system we will keep checking in class that everyone who wants a school meal has ordered one.  When we return from the Whit holiday (13th June) we will assume that meals will have been ordered from home.  Please see the attached Parent guide and the following link is a how to video.
