Keeping children safe
during lockdown and beyond
October 19, 2020
Western Primary School
Western Primary School is part of the Federation with Scartho nursery School.
Western Primary School provides a stimulating environment where curiosity is welcomed, enquiry encouraged and an excitement of learning is fostered. We try to enhance the life of each child, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to take a full part in society.
We promote understanding and respect for democracy, tolerance, fairness and respect for self, others and the environment and encourage collaborative learning. We also enable pupils to distinguish between right and wrong and accept responsibility for actions and behaviours.
We enable each child to feel pride in their efforts and to have confidence in their own abilities. We are striving to achieve a successful school of which staff, children, parents and the community will be proud and where all are welcomed, feel safe & secure and valued.
FRIDAY HALLOWEEN ACTIVITIES
Unfortunately this year there will be no Halloween disco, however, children can come dressed in Halloween costumes on Friday if they would like to (they can come in their school uniform if they don't want to). If children choose to come dressed in a Halloween costume it is £1 (this will include a hot dog).
If children would like a hotdog but don't want to dress up they can also bring £1.
Children may also bring an extra £1 (maximum) if they would like to buy sweets from the tuck trolley. Unfortunately, we won't be able to give change.
Children will be doing different Halloween activities and watching Halloween films in their classrooms.
On October 28th, ITV will be in school filming a Christmas show.
They would like 5 children to take part. If you would like your child to take part please let us know as soon as possible.
Mr Powles will let the parents of the 5 children who have been chosen know by the end of the week.
PLEASE NOTE IF YOUR COMMENT HAS BEEN DELETED IT IS BECAUSE YOUR CHILD’S NAME HAS ALREADY BEEN ADDED TO THE LIST.
Mrs Leach will be selling Halloween snap bands from tomorrow.
She has a variety of designs but there are only a limited number.
These will be 50p each and will be sold on a first come first served basis.
Unfortunately she will not be able to save any for people.
If you would like your child to buy one please send them with 50p tomorrow.
