Alkrington Primary School

World War One Commemoration Day

We are having a special day next Tuesday, 11 November to commemorate the 100 years since the outbreak of WW1.There will be special events and activities to mark the day. I ask that your child comes to school dressed in some clothing typical of 100 years ago or wear red, white or purple to represent the different colour poppies.

Christmas Fair

Thank you to everyone who sent in bottles for the Christmas Fair. The next Non-Uniform ay will be Friday 21 November – more details to follow. We would also like to ask you if you have any unwanted gifts that we could use for our Secret Santa stall. This stall enables the children to buy presents for their Mums and Dads in secret at pocket money prices.

Shoe Box Appeal

Representatives from the local Rotary Club will be coming to school to explain about their appeal and explain how our children can help. This campaign has now successfully run for a number of years – I hope that many of you can help again this year.

Football or other Cards

Please could we ask that if children bring collectable cards into school they behave responsibly when playing with them. They should only be played with at playtimes and lunchtime. Unfortunately if a situation arises when they are not being used appropriately it may be necessary to confiscate them – Thank you.

Please could all photograph orders be returned to the school office by Wednesday 19 November – Thank you.
