After School Club

After half term the new building which is for the
after school club will be opening and there will be more places
available for children.
If you would like a place for your child please feel
free to contact Fran Taylor on her mobile no:
077 247 08015.
It would be worth registering your child with her in case you
ever needed child care in an emergency or for use of the holiday club.

Call in for an informal chat.

Safeguarding
Parents or guardians who need to meet with a member of staff before or after school, should come in through the school
office to find out if it is convenient first. They will then be given an authorised visitor badge.
If your child is late they need to sign in at the office and a member of staff will be available to take your child along to
their classroom and pass on any messages to the class teacher on your behalf. We know this may not always be convenient
for you but you will appreciate the safety of the children must come first. There are a lot of before and after school
activities taking place each day and we need a system in place to ensure the children feel safe and are kept safe at all
times.
We would be very grateful if you can work with us on this issue and help us to ensure it is effective at all times.

Getting to Know Our Governors
Q. What do you do in your spare time?
A. I love going on holiday especially to countries with lots of interesting things to
do and see. Last year I went to Peru and had a brilliant time. I also like
gardening and walking.
(Taylor McKenzie Y3) This week our team of reporters
put their questions to Mrs Silcox.
Q. Is there anything you dislike about being a Governor? Some of you may recognise Mrs
Silcock as she used to work in the
A. It's got to be making sure I'm on time for early morning meetings!
school office.
(Molly Glinn Y6)

Q. Which aspect of your role do you enjoy most?

A. The most enjoyable part of being a governor is being able to join in the many
events that take place at Norwood and being invited to attend performances and
special functions.
(Finn Cromack Y3)

Q. What made you want to be a Governor of Norwood?

A. Way back in 1985 when Mr Milne became Headteacher at Norwood, I took
over Mrs Taylor's job in the school office and later became Bursar and Clerk to
the Governors. At that time the school was on Norwood Road next to All Souls
Church. We had a very exciting time planning the new school building
and moved to the present site in 1988. After 20 happy years at Norwood I
decided it was time to retire but I knew I would be sad to leave so when I was
asked if I would like to join the Governing Body as a Community Governor I was
delighted.
(Molly Glinn Y6)

Book Amnesty

On the 11th February 2011, Norwood is having an INSET day. Throughout that day we will be organising and colour coding
all our HOME SCHOOL READING BOOKS.

With this in mind, we need all home school reading books to be returned to school no later than the 9th February 2011.
Teachers will not be giving new books out over the half term, in order to help us colour code all our books.
The new system will involve your child being on a coloured level and there will need to be some adjusting time.

Many thanks for your patience!

Climbing in The Lake District

The Wainwrights are 214 fells/mountains
What an achievement! Congratulations boys!
in The Lake District. Cameron, George
and Morgan have climbed to the summit
of 5. They reached the summit of
Hellvellyn in four and a half hours, which
is a 950m (3,209 ft) climb, in October
2010. Then in January 2011 they climbed
four fells in six and a half hours,
consisting of Lonscale Fell, which is 715m
(2346 ft) climb, Skiddaw Little Man a
865m (2838 ft) climb, Skiddaw a 913m
(3054 ft) climb and finally Carl Side a
746m (2,448 ft) climb, covering roughly
Cameron, George & Morgan 11 miles

The boys climbed with their dad, and his peers who are all very accomplished climbers. George was carried and assisted a
lot of the way, as would be expected at 4 years old but Cameron and Morgan both persevered throughout and I am very
proud of all 3 of them for such an amazing achievement, they will continue to climb (not all 214 just yet) over the
forthcoming years.

Your Child’s Appearance

prospectus.
Children are encouraged to wear their hair in a suitable
manner for school. Extremes of fashion, both in terms
of clothing and personal appearance are not allowed in
school. By drawing attention to themselves in this way
children can open themselves to potential bullying and
ridicule and distract other pupils from their work.
All hair longer than shoulder length (regardless of
gender) should be tied back.

*Trainers and high heeled shoes are not school
uniform.
*Jewellery (including necklaces, bracelets and rings)
should not be worn in school, with the exception of
watches and stud earrings.

* Stud earrings must be removed during PE, Games
and Swimming lessons or if this is not possible, the
children should cover these with plasters provided by
home.

*Nail varnish and makeup are not permitted.

I am sure you will all support us in ensuring that we
have high expectations and high standards of
appearance.
