Dear Parents/ Carers,
The children have all been working hard
this week producing work to help us assess their progress.
I have been at conferences at the Local
Authority and the Diocese, which will help improve our school further and keep
up with National changes.

Our updated Child Protection policy is
now available on the website for you to read.
Healthy Packed Lunches
Thank you to all those of you who have
provide their children with a healthy packed lunch. It has been lovely to see
the children enjoying their fruit, vegetables and other healthy snacks.
Reception and KS1 children are entitled
to a free, nutritionally balanced school meal, so please take advantage of
this.
Able Writers Course
Two of our Year 6 girls, Kerys and
Tiegan took part in an Able Writers course with the poet Brian Moses at
Parklands Juniors this week. They enjoyed writing poems together and will share
them with the school next week.
School Improvements
The new canopy has been completed and
the children are now able to use the outside area outside the reception
classroom. We will be making further improvements to this space in the near
future.
Friends of Dame Tipping
The Christmas Fayre takes place on
Friday. Thank you for all of your contributions so far. We would like donations
of soft animal toys next week, please.
Payments
We are still awaiting some payments for
the Pantomime and Theatre Trip. Please look in your child’s bag for a new slip
if you haven’t paid, as we need permission as well as payment. Thank you.
Commendations
George Viney, Joe Stanley and Sidonie
Holmes.
Well done!
Pen Licences
Congratulations to Devon Lees from Class 1 for earning
his pen licence. This is awarded for consistently neat, joined handwriting.
Gold Book
Well done to Chinaza Osaji-Okai, Jack Robinson, Mojola
Awosan, Michelle Onifade (twice), Elena Marshall and Hermione McCormack for
earning their place in the Gold Book this week for excellent classroom
behaviour.
Headteacher’s Award
Congratulations to Charlotte McCormack
of class 1 for being awarded the ‘Dame Tipping Headteacher’s Award’ this week
for her contribution to school life.
Attendance Matters
Well done to class 3 for having the
highest attendance this week.
Unfortunately, this week’s attendance
was not as good as last week’s. Let’s try really hard to improve for the rest
of the term if we possibly can.
Sadly, I am still receiving a few requests
for term time holidays. These will all be unauthorised and you may receive a
fine from the local authority.
