Welcome back after a (hopefully) restful week. Its
hard to believe that there are only five weeks until
the Easter holidays; lots to do and enjoy before
then!
A couple of short messages from me; firstly thank
you to Mr Smith and all the staff for holding the
fort while Ms Buttriss and I visited our partner
school in Mangalore, India. Both of us have returned
with ideas on how the partnership can continue to
grow, and how both schools can learn from each
other. Two teachers from India will be visiting early
in the summer term, and there will be more
information nearer the time on the details of their
visit. Secondly, I am sorry to say that we continue
to suffer with inconsiderate and dangerous parking
around drop off and pick up. It causes huge upset to
our neighbours, and at worst is putting our children
at risk as well. Please take note of the number (later LETTERS BEFORE HALF TERM and TODAY
in the newsletter) that you can call to report any
Year 5
Swanage Parents’ Meeting
issues.
