Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day

On Friday 14^th December we are inviting pupils to take part in Christmas Jumper Day. On that day, the children can wear non-uniform along with their most festive, silliest or cosiest jumpers/tops and make a donation of £1 to help Save the Children to give hope to families in difficulty this Christmas.

Please don’t splash out on a snazzy sweater to take part – you can decorate an old or plain top with tinsel, baubles or homemade snowflakes to create your own unique jumper.

Please send your donations into school on Friday 14^th December. Thank you.

In the event of severe weather conditions the following guidelines should be used in case of snow:-

Look at the School Website – www.stalyhill-inf.tameside.sch.uk. This will be updated on a daily basis to inform you if the school is closed.

 

Check your emails/text messages as a Parentmail will be sent out to keep you informed of the situation.

Listen to the local radio stations – Key 103, Tameside Radio.

 

We will endeavour to keep school open. However, our priority is the safety of the children, and if the conditions are hazardous or a number of staff are unable to get in, then we may have to close.

 

Important:

If school remains open, it remains parents decision whether or not to bring your child. If you feel that coming to school in your personal circumstances would prove dangerous to yourself and your child, please do not attempt the journey. Children that do not attend school on extreme snow days will be given a Y code for attendance which will not affect their attendance record.

All parents are invited to a mindfulness parent workshop at the Infant School on Wednesday November 21st starting at 9.15 to approx. 11.15am.

 

The workshop will be delivered by mindfulness expert, Liam Hand, who has previously worked with our staff and children. Liam works in the private and education sector, teaching adults and children strategies and techniques to help them to enhance their sense of emotional wellbeing and to manage their feelings effectively. These strategies include tapping and breathing techniques and a range of mindfulness activities designed to develop a sense of inner calm, increase focus, release stress and anxiety, and to promote a general sense of happiness.

 

The workshop will be open to all Stalyhill parents, at both the Infant and Junior schools. Due to the nature of the workshop, we kindly ask that younger children do not attend if at all possible. If you are planning on attending the workshop, please let either school office know as soon as possible or return the slip on the letter sent home.
