NEWSLETTER
PTA Easter Bingo
School Meals – NOW £2.40
In March I mentioned in the school newsletter
that we had received notification from Halton
Borough Council that the cost of a school meal
was to increase from £2.20 to £2.40.
At that time, I was under the impression that this increase
was not going to be implemented until September 2015.
However, this was wrong. This change came into force this
week! I apologise for this!
Could you, therefore, please ensure that the correct money
for school meals is sent into school? The cost for 5 days is
now £12.
Residential Visits
We have a number of residential visits
planned this term – with the Year 2
children heading to Llandudno in two weeks’ time; our Year
4 & 5 pupils going to London; and the Year 6 pupils spending
3 days in North Wales.
As these trips get closer, it is important for any outstanding
monies to be paid. If there is an outstanding balance on
your child’s account, please speak with Miss Smith or Miss
Simcock in the school office – to inform them of when the
final payment will be made.
As the summer approaches, and with the
pollen count rising, there seems to be a
growing number of children bring nonprescribed medicines into school.
Can I please remind all parents that only medicines
prescribed by a doctor or dentist – and contain a pharmacy
label with your child’s name and the recommended dose can be brought into school. This is for their safety and the
safety of the other children in school.
If you need one of the adults in school to administer any
medicine during the school day, a Medical Consent Form
needs to be completed, signed and handed in at the school
office.
NO NON-PRESECRIBED MEDICINES SHOULD EVER BE GIVEN
TO YOUR CHILD TO BRING INTO SCHOOL. This includes
throat sweets and lozenges; as well as piriton (and other
‘over the counter’ medicines).

Thank you to everybody who came along and
supported our Easter Bingo event, during the last
week before Easter!
Thank you also to the team of adults in school – namely Miss
Simcock, Mrs Shaw, Mrs Colebrook, Miss Hunt, Mrs Morgan,
Mrs Sproston, Miss Ingram and Mrs Grindley (plus all the
other members of staff) – who helped to set up the hall,
serve drinks and run the event (including the tombola and
raffle).
In total £507.22 was raised. This money will go towards
future projects and plans aimed at benefitting all of the
children in our school.
We have amassed a growing number of items of LOST
PROPERTY in school. All of this clothing is unnamed – and so
it is impossible to reunite it with its rightful owners.
One morning next week, all of these items will be laid out on
a table in the school playground. If you are missing
anything, please come along and search for it!
Any remaining items will then be ‘sold’ for a
small donation to the school – rather than get
thrown away.
Year 4 & 5 Cricket Coaching
Reminder: Medicines In School
Halton Lodge Primary School
Headteacher: Mr A Hilldrup
Happy
This week, the children in Years 4 & 5
started a series of cricket coaching sessions
– as part of their PE lessons in school. These sessions were
led by the U13 Cheshire Development Team Cricket Coach,
Colin Grindey.
Colin is also running an after school club that 18 children
now attend every Monday after school.
Year 4 Guitar Lessons
On Thursday, all of the children in Year 4 started their
whole class guitar lessons.
In addition to learning the names of the different
parts of the guitar, the names of each string and
how to tune a guitar, the children played their first TWO
tunes – to rock style backing tracks.
I’m sure this group of talented individuals will be ready to
showcase their talents in the near future!

If you would like to join our ROCK CHOIR this term. Please
speak to Mrs Parkhill – as we can now accommodate more
members.
The sessions run after school, every Thursday, until 4:00pm!
