Newsletter No: 8 Date: 30 October 2007 Landscape/Building works May I thank our parents and the school community for their understanding during the period of landscape and building works outside the front of the school. I appreciate it makes access difficult, however, I have been reassured by Lancashire Authority that our new car park, cycle shelter and infant play area will be completed as soon as possible. Parents Interview Evening Parents? Evening will be held in school on Tuesday, 13 November, 5.30pm onwards and Thursday, 15 November, 3.30 ? 6.00pm. The purpose of this meeting is to enable you to discuss your child?s progress and future targets for development. It would be helpful if parents could return the attached slip for each child to the school office no later than Wednesday, 7 November. Appointments can only be given if slips are returned. The DCFS have produced a copy of ?Helping children to learn?Making the Most of Parents Evenings?. Copies are available from the school office or alternatively downloadable from the Parents Web section of our own school website http://www.broadoak.lancs.sch.uk/parents.htm). Poppy Appeal Once again we will be supporting the national charity, The British Legion, in distributing poppies to children and parents in exchange for donations. Two Year 6 children will be near the school office, with our poppies, between 8.45 and 8.55am every morning until Friday 9 November or until we have no poppies left. During the lead up to Remembrance Sunday we will be sharing with the children the meaning of the poppies and the significance in maintaining peace and freedom.
