We are very pleased to welcome Mr Lewin to our school this week as a new teaching assistant. Mr Lewin will be working full time in Jaguar class and will also be a lunchtime supervisor. Mrs Wild is now going to be working in Rhino class along with Mrs Harris. We are extremely fortunate at Myddle to have a full time teaching assistant in every class – they are such an asset to our school. We hope you will join us in making Mr Lewin very welcome.

As part of Sketching Stars 2018, primary school pupils from across the UK were invited to test their creativity and drawing skills by designing their very own school.

We are delighted to announce that Eloise is the KS1 winner of the Sketching Stars 2018 Competition!!!!

As the winner Eloise has won:

• £270 worth of stationery for the school
• A STAEDTLER goody bag and certificate
• A LEGO® architecture workshop delivered by Andy Morris of Little Big Art
• A model based on the Eloise’s Dream School design, made from LEGO® bricks.

There were over 7,000 entries with just one winner for KS1 and KS2.  Well done Eloise!

We have noticed an increasing number of children are turning up for school late. This proves disruptive for the whole class and delays the start of lessons for everyone. The school gate opens at 8.45am and will be closed at 9.00am.

The next PTA Meeting will be taking place on Monday 21st January at 9:05am. The meeting will be held at school.

Children have arrived safely and are currently rehearsing for tonight’s concert.

Children are currently due back at school at 11.00pm.  Any changes will be announced via the school website/facebook page.

During the February half term holiday The British Ironwork Centre are holding a series of puppets shows on Tuesday 19th February. See attached poster for more information.

Reminder that it is Young Voices tomorrow, Thursday 17th January.

Children will arrive at normal school time and we will leave by coach at approximately 11.15am. We will arrive at Birmingham Genting Arena in time for lunch. Children need to take a packed lunch, a packed tea and plenty of water.

Children will need to wear a dark pair of trousers or skirt to wear with their Young Voices t-shirts which will be handed out on the day. If you have not purchased a t-shirt your child will need to wear a plain white t-shirt.

We will arrive back at school around 11.00pm from where you can collect your child. Any updates will be posted onto the school website/facebook.

Children will not need to be in school until 10.30am on Friday.
