Monthly Good Behaviour Reward
27 February 2010 | News, Pupil, Website | No Responses
Through class and school council, the children have decided they will have an extended playtime each month (an extra 15 minutes) to celebrate good behaviour as an alternative to ‘choc & pops’. All staff will join the children, on the playground, for their celebration to make it a special and recognisable occasion.
PTA Meeting – 2nd March at 9.00am
27 February 2010 | News, Pupil, Website | No Responses
The PTA do still need more committed members if they are continue in the long term. Please do come along and support them, if you can. Without the PTA, the special events like discos, Fayres etc which are enjoyed by everybody and raise funds for the school and give the community an opportunity to gather and socialise together, can not take place. Overall the time needed is not so great e.g. a termly meeting to discuss events and attendance at the events to support behind a ‘stall’. The larger the group the less time commitment for everybody. We really do need you!!! Please join us if you can.

Valentine’s Disco

The children enjoyed the Valentine’s Disco organised by the PTA on Friday. The adults had decorated the hall for the children beforehand with Valentine’s balloons etc, which made the event memorable and special. A special thanks to the ‘new’ PTA for their time and enthusiasm supporting the children of St Andrew’s. There are photos posted in the gallery for you to view.
PARENTS EVENINGS APPOINTMENTS
13 February 2010 | News, Pupil, Website | No Responses
Tues 9th March & Wed 10th March – We will send a reminder to you after the half-term of the date and time you have chosen.
It is the practice of the school for children in all classes to attend parents evening and be part of the discussion and conversation. Celebrating the children’s achievements and ‘next steps’ together reinforces the home school partnership and allows your child to share their views and to have a ‘voice’ in their learning process.
‘Love Your Community Week’
13 February 2010 | News, Pupil, Website | No Responses
I have been speaking with Braintree District Council this morning about children and parents having a ‘bigger’ voice, in the Great Yeldham community, about their village. Gemma & Nathan are coming into school throughout the week of 15th March to gain some feedback, through electronic questionnaires, about how our community can be developed for your use. The children will be involved in saying what they like, dislike and what they might like to see in the future. We have also organised a session for parents on the 23rd March at 9.00am to do the same electronic questionnaire and to be asked your views on how to improve our community for our families.
We hope you can join us on the 23rd March and the children, I’m sure, will inform you of the discussion and activities they have experienced the week previous. What a great opportunity to get ourselves heard!!!
Easter Service

The Easter service date has changed to 30th March at 9.15am, in St Andrew’s Church. Rector Keith Holloway, as many of you may know, will be retiring as Rector of GY and Governor of St Andrew’s School at Easter. We are therefore holding a retirement thank you for Rector Keith and his wife Dorothy for all the support he has given the school and the community since joining us about 8 years ago. Please join us if you can. The Easter Service will finish at 10.15am and then we can all join back in the school hall to give our thanks. If you would like to contribute to their retirement present from the school, please leave your contribution at the office and we will combine it with the schools.
