Dear Parents and Carers,
Huge thanks to Mrs Dey, Amanda Travis and all the children who helped with the Bakewell Sparkle market event today! Despite the rain and cold, their cheerful smiles drew in the crowds and lots of people visited the stall to buy the beautiful handmade decorations which had been so carefully crafted by Class 3. They raised a whopping £182 today which is amazing!! Well done everybody 🙂
Just a couple of reminders for this week:
Monday 9th December: Class 4 have their Greek day (please send in PE kit for the mini Olympics in the afternoon)
Joe is running after school club as usual until 4pm
Tuesday 10th December: Y3 swimming is on as usual
Christmas service at Edensor church- starts at 5.30pm. The church doors open at 5pm.
Refreshments are being served before and after the service and you can also buy raffle tickets
on the night for our Christmas raffle! Please keep your children with you until 5.15pm.
At 5.15pm, the staff will ask for the children to come forward to the front of the church and we
will gather them in the chapel at the back of church ready for the beginning of the service at
5.30pm. All infant children need to come to church already dressed in their costume please.
All junior children need to come to church wearing their full school uniform (no hoodies) and
school shoes please (no trainers). Thank you
Wednesday 11th December: Class 4 Carol singers to sing at Chatsworth farmshop at 1.30pm (normal collection
arrangements apply)
Joe is running his after school club as usual.
Thursday 12th December: Trip to see Chatsworth Christmas decorations.
We aren't able to access the House until 9.45am so we are asking parents and carers to drop off children at the Lodge at Chatsworth House as close to 9am as possible please. We will take the children for a short walk before we are allowed entry into the House, so please ensure they are dressed appropriately for the weather as there isn't any indoor space for us to use if the weather is bad. The children will come back to school on the school bus in time for their lunch. As we will be outdoors for part of the morning, please send your child to school wearing their school jumper/hoody with trousers (no jeans please) and either sturdy trainers, walking boots or wellies. If you could please put your child's school shoes into their bag, they can change their footwear once we're back at school at lunchtime. Class 4 will have their PE session on Thursday afternoon as usual. The majority of juniors have a rucksack as their school bag but we would urge infant parents to send their children with a rucksack on Thursday rather than a bookbag, so it is easier for them to carry.
Mrs Porter is running her after school club as usual.
Friday 13th December:
We are having a non-uniform day on Friday 13th December and theme is 'Wear something Christmassy!'. We are asking for donations to be made via Parent Pay which will be split between Save the Children and the school fund to pay towards Christmas party resources and refreshments when we go to the pantomime in Buxton.
As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
All best wishes,
Mrs E Bond
Headteacher
