Dear Parent/Carer,
Safety Event
Our Safety Event on Wednesday was very successful. We were joined by ROSPA, the Fire Service, Police and Road Safety teams. Our pupils learned valuable lessons about safety and many, many parents accessed the information and services. My thanks to Mrs Smith for co-ordinating the event.
Christmas Fair
We hope to see you at our Christmas Fair tomorrow. Please come along and join in the fun. Our Christmas Fair is a fabulous community event. All funds raised by our PTA goes towards equipment for our children in school. PTA funds have in the past paid for playground equipment, Wet Play resources, Sports Kit, Nintendo DS’s and our fabulous Nature Trail. My thanks to our brilliant PTA volunteers who have been involved with the running of the Christmas Fair for many years. It’s only when you get involved that you appreciate just how much sheer hard work goers into bringing an event of this kind together.
Friendly Faces
Friendly Faces will be open for business from Monday 20th to Thursday 23rd December from 8.00am to 5.30pm. Anyone interested in booking a place please contact Louise Parker on 07810071148 or friendlyfacesatrobinhood@gmail.com
Lunchtime Staff Required
We seek to make a further appointment to our lunchtime staff. We have a very high ratio of adults:pupils during lunchtimes as we view this as the best way of maintaining Health & safety and wellbeing for pupils. If you, or anyone you know, enjoy working with children and can offer an hour per day at lunchtimes… please get in touch with Mrs Smith in the School Office.
Graduate Teacher Training
As many of you know, Robin Hood is a training school and takes Graduate Trainees every year to train as teachers. The recruitment round for the September 2011 intake is now open. If you know of a graduate who is interested in a career in teaching, please point them to our website where there is a link to the application information. Due to the success of this route, there are almost twenty Leeds schools participating in GTP this year. This has been a very successful route for us. Mrs Steel, Miss Mees and Mrs Brook all trained at Robin Hood on the Graduate Teacher Trainee route. Past Robin Hood teachers Mr Briggs and Miss Skidmore also qualified as teachers via this route.
Clubs
All Clubs have now finished until week commencing 10th January, 2011.
Have a great weekend and hope to see you tomorrow at the Christmas Fair,
Mr Wilson
