ASC Homework offer

Dear Parents/Carers of children who attend After School Club,

We are delighted to be able to offer wrap-a-round care at our school, so that working parents can have the flexibility they need.

We want to let you know that during every slot for After School Club, there will be opportunity for the children to complete homework including spellings, reading and topic linked activities.

It maybe that you would rather that homework was completed at home with you and of course that is fine. We will not be forcing children to do their homework but will be asking them each day if they would like to have time to get it done.

Clearly the team will not be able to carry out larger pieces of homework with them e.g. making a castle, but they will be able to support with daily homework.

Please talk to your children about this option, as it will be up to them and we will not force them.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Food waste

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are suffering ongoing issues with a few children who sneakily drop food under the tables at lunchtime.

Very often this food has hardly been touched e.g. whole apples and sandwiches.

Some children are throwing food under the table that has been supplied by home and other times it is food supplied by school.

It is really important to have conversations and better still get children involved in making their own packed lunches so that they have some control over what it is they will eat. Our teams try so hard to ensure that children are eating a good lunch so they have enough energy for their afternoon sessions.

I have asked our catering managers to come into school to see if they can do anything differently in order to prevent school food from being dropped on the floor.

We understand that some children are just so desperate to get outside to play that they rush their lunch. However, during assembly we will again be discussing the need to slow down and eat a good lunch.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Miss Cook

Safer, Stronger Overdale

Dear parents/Carers,

Telford & Wrekin Council has launched a project to help residents feel safer in their homes and communities by reducing anti-social behaviour.

The Safer and Stronger Communities investment will address community priorities and create tangible measures to address them. The project also builds and supports both new and current initiatives, such as youth groups, community projects, activity and social groups and openings for volunteers to get involved.

In response to the Safer & Stronger questionnaire our school circulated, several concerns and suggestions have been addressed. Firstly, a new CCTV camera is being shortly installed which will monitor the Overdale MUGA and field area. The lighting on the MUGA has also now been repaired.

In regards activities for older children (11-16) several new free multi sports sessions will be offered during the summer school holidays – delivered in conjunction with AFC Telford. These free sessions will be on the 27th July, 8th August, 17th Aug and 31st Aug. All sessions will be from 3.30pm – 5.30pm.

The Safer, Stronger Communities team are officially launching in Overdale on the 25th June at the newly refurbished hall at the Carpenter Family Centre. They look forward to seeing you there.

Art Day- Friday 1st July

We are excited to be holding another whole school Art day next week, on Friday 1st July. The theme this year is ‘Art around the world’, whereby the children will create pieces of art centred on their classes chosen country and artist. They will be focussing on a particular art style and using a range of mediums including paints, printing, and drawing.

This year, we would love the children to ‘dress to express’ in their most creative clothing, but as you can imagine, this may get messy, so please send your child to school wearing old clothing, or a large t-shirt or apron to wear over these clothes!

It looks to be a very exciting day for everyone involved and we cannot wait to see what everyone creates!

Kind regards,

Mr McFarland

Art Leader
