Sporting Success

Parking

Congratulations to our Year 6 Archery

team who won a competition recently
at Park House School against nine other
local schools.

As well as parking sensibly in the

streets around the school particularly
Skillman Drive I would respectfully request that parents observe the road
markings on the A4 which indicate
where you can safely park. I have received several complaints recently regarding dangerous parking outside the
school. As well as endangering those
using the road this also puts pedestrians, many of whom are our children, in
danger.
If children are a few minutes late due
to parents having to park further away
from the school then this is a small
price to pay to keep everyone safe.

Maths Evening
The organisers commented on our high
level of skill which saw us win the competition by over 50 points, with a score
of 484.
With the score of each team member
counting in six different disciplines it
was our high level of consistency which
won us the competition.
Congratulations to the team of; Aron
Stafford, Ruby Marie Dix, Max Fowler,
Yasmin OBrien, Katelynn Calder and
Louis Burnand

We hope that you found the first of

this years maths curriculum evenings
on the subject of Division helpful.

Please let Mr Davies know if you need
any further information or clarification

Well done to all those who tried out for

the team and pushed these six to be so
good.

Advance notice
World Book Week
We will be celebrating
World Book Week in the
week commencing Monday 16th March. During
the week children will
undertake a mini-study
around a picture book
selected by their teacher.
On Friday 20th March we
will be asking the children
to dress up as their favourite book character, so
you have plenty of time
to plan for this.
There will be more news
about Book Week events
in the coming newsletters.

Many thanks for all

the donated resources/toys from
before and after
Christmas! They have
been gratefully received.
