School will be closed today due to the weather.
School is closing, please collect your children as soon as possible (or by 12 noon at the latest please). Thank you.
So the day isn’t as lovely as I first thought (and posted about on the Weduc newsfeed earlier).
Mr LH & I are in school having both driven in, we appreciate that the roads are slippy and there is more heavy snow forecast for the rest of the school day. We may therefore need to close the school during the morning. If you would like to keep your child at home today we will authorise any absence due to the weather. If you do bring your child to school this morning please be aware you may need to fetch them at short notice.

The staff and children will not be leaving Birmingham until 2.30pm, so will arrive back at Pontesbury CE Primary School at the slightly later time of 3.50pm – please arrange to collect your child at this later finishing time. Thank you.
Dear parents,
This half term the year 2 children are learning about Victorian life. Africa class will become a Victorian classroom for the morning of Tuesday 28th March.
To help make this experience feel more authentic, it would be fantastic if the children can come to school wearing clothes in the style of the Victorian era.
Please don’t feel you have to go out and buy new clothes for this (and if you are unable to find Victorian style clothes, just dressing your child in black/ grey trousers or skirt and white t-shirt/ shirt would be fine).
I have included a few pictures below for inspiration.

Grapes are a good healthy fruit snack but if you include grapes in your child’s packed lunch, please remember to always cut them lengthwise first.
Please note: our School Catering Staff are all very vigilant and so all grapes served at school (e.g. in our fruit salad) are always cut lengthwise to prevent a choking hazard.
If you would like further information on how to help a child that is choking on an object, please click the link to see the NHS guidance: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/helping-choking-baby/
Although the medical advice is generally for children under the age of five, it can still be a choking hazard for all. Grapes differ quite considerably in size and are always worth cutting up before consuming.
Mindfulness Club on a Tuesday after school starting next week is now available to Year 4 – 6 children, it is a really nice club with different activities each week including colouring, doodling, senses challenge and balloon activities.
