Dear Parents – May 2016
Dear Parents
I would like to thank you for another great half term. The children have been wonderful. They have worked very hard and have really earned a holiday.
Just a gentle reminder, if you are shopping in the holiday, we are allowing some extra items in addition to the usual school uniform. The girls can wear red and white checked gingham summer dresses. Girls and boys can wear grey or black tailored shorts, which are available from supermarkets. Please be aware that shiny sports shorts are not school uniform.
Attached to this letter and available on our website, via the curriculum tab, is a list of curriculum enhancement activities for each year group. These are day visits, visitors in school and special events that differ from the normal events that you will be aware of and which are shown on the website. This is how we bring learning to life at Swinemoor Primary School.
I wish you all a happy and safe half term holiday together and I look forward to seeing the children back in school on Monday 6th June to take part in the many exciting activities which we have planned for the last part of the year.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely
Mr L Myers
Head Teacher
