HALF TERM HOLIDAY
Bikeability is coming to our school in September for our Year 5 class. Bikeability is cycling proficiency for the modern era and is recognised as a National Standard for on road cycle training.
The children are assessed on their ability to handle a bike with confidence. The summer holiday is a good time for the children to practice their basic skills to ensure that they are confident to participate.
Thank you.
Dear Parent / Carer
We are delighted to be able to offer you “Summer Holiday Club” for the first week of the summer holidays. We have received funding from Gateshead Council from the “Fill the Holiday Gap” programme aiming to address health and educational inequalities to provide a free Holiday Club.
The club will run from Monday to Friday of the first week of the Summer Holidays from 10.00am to 1.00pm and there will be 30 places available each day.
The programme will be delivered by some of our school staffing team and children will take part in a range of art, cooking and sporting or outdoor activities and all children will be provided with a two course lunch by the Council’s Catering Services.
If you would like to reserve a place for your child/children please indicate choice of days on the form below and return it to school by Friday 13th July so we can allocate places and continue with planning. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
You will be informed if your child / children have a place on Monday 16th July 2018.
There is no charge for the club or lunch however if your child is allocated a place we would expect them to turn up for their session.
Yours sincerely
Mrs Liddle
