Latest newsletter - 22nd July 2010

 

Dear Parents

Air Ambulance 
A huge thank you to you all for your generosity with our collection for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.  Altogether we collected £111. I know they will be very grateful for this and I am sure we will hear from them, for the right reasons!!, quite soon.

Blue Light Roadshow
There is a Roadshow on 24th July at Dorchester Rugby Club from 11.00 to 16.00.  Looks like a great FREE day out. Our CPSO Vicky Hedges will be there.

Teddy Bear’s Picnic
Thank you to everyone who contributed towards the picnic.  I do hope you enjoyed the day.  It seemed quite perfect. Unfortunately we’ve lost all the photos taken.  If anyone could provide any that you have taken, electronically, we would be very grateful. Do have a look at the Village News for just six great photos.  Not only did we have a great day, thanks to the Bonham Cozens, but also you raised £28 for the Wessex Cancer Charity.

Alice Concert
Again – a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the Alice concert -the music, words, costumes and props and, most of all the children. They sang, acted and spoke brilliantly.  I was so very proud of every single child.  How good it was to see our little Caterpillars there too. I had so many words of praise from the audience and I am sure that everyone that attended the concert went off singing the songs.  It is great to see children working as a team and getting so much enjoyment from what they are doing.  This is what education is all about – learning, increasing skills and having fun.

Leavers’ Service
This year the service was held in the church and it was an end of an era for three families and their links with us.  Josie, Rebecca and Ewan all left, with their families.  Their  brothers Owen, Will and Sean left some years in the past.  These children have been wonderful ambassadors for the school, particularly over the past year.  We are so proud of them and will miss them greatly.
New Arrivals
We have three new families joining us in September.  We are so looking forward to the new academic year.
We have eight children starting in September in our reception year group.  All of them have attended Caterpillars and are confidently part of our school.  Some just can’t wait to be here all the time.  We are looking forward to them being here too.
If you know of anyone that has a child who is due to start Cheselbourne School in September 2011 – yes 2011 – please ask them to contact the school as their child can start attending our Caterpillar Club each week from this September.  Also if any new families move in, do speak to them about our Scarecrow Club on Tuesday mornings.  This brilliant club supports the adults in our community as well as the children by offering a venue for parents and carers to meet other young children’s families and where they can share, with Mrs Price and Smith ideas on how to play and work with their very young children.

Uniform and PE Kit
Please make sure your child returns to school with the correct uniform; please consult the prospectus – on line if you have not got a copy.  Also can every child come with their dark blue shorts, light blue polo shirt and pumps in a bag for PE.  Please let this stay at school until half term so that it is in school EVERY time we need it.   Please also name every piece of clothing.

Hot School Meals
Gosh - I cannot believe how many children are having meals now – quite often around ten or eleven children.  Thank you to everyone that has sent in your orders for next term. 

Thanks
Thank you so very much to everyone for the biscuits, the cakes, the strawberries and cream, the wine, the beer, the flowers and all the lovely cards with such super comments you have said to us.  Thank you from every member of the staff.

RRS
On Thursday 9th July 2009 we learned the fantastic news that we have been awarded the title of Rights Respecting School. This is a UNICEF project and one in which all DASP schools are taking part. Over many months, we have been undertaking activities in order to raise awareness of this important drive, both in our school and in the wider world. The assessor who visited was very impressed with all at Cheselbourne and we can now say we are a Level 1 Rights Respecting School! Well done to everyone!
