26th MArch
Update from MS. Reid
As the Spring term comes to an end we are already thinking ahead to the summer term.
Our summer After School Club timetable came home today. Have a browse, make a selection and return the club request to the school office by 5pm this Wednesday.
When the children have been allocated we will then confirm places by text message. All activities must be pre-paid and please note, that places will not be allocated to any children where there are arrears on their Parentpay Account.
Copies of all after school information, including our exciting timetable, can be found on our website. Should you need any further assistance, please do call, pop in or email. We are always happy to help!
Clubs will launch Tuesday 17th April and our final will take place on Thursday 12th July.
The children will be bringing their completed home learning projects back to you this week and each child will receive a certificate to congratulate their efforts.
Please ensure uniform is collected from the lost property boxes no later than Wednesday; anything left behind will be recycled.
School will close at 2pm on Thursday 29th March and will re-open at the usual time on Tuesday 17th April.
Parent's evening reminded me of how fantastic our community is and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for you continued support. Shacklewell would not be the same vibrant and creative school it is without you, so I hope that however you choose to spend the holiday it is relaxing and enjoyable for you all.

How many times can you re-read Diary of a Wimpy Kid?
SPA is setting up an Honesty Library of donated books from parents and friends so anyone can borrow a book and return it for others to read. If you have books your child no longer reads, gathering dust at home, we'd love it if you would pass these on for others to share.
All Shacklewell students are automatically members of the SPA Honesty Library. Donate by dropping your books to the school office (put your name and email address on the bag so we can thank you!) and our Honesty Librarian, Tasmin will add them to our growing collection.

Sugar Smart Campaign
We are delighted to be supporting the #SugarSmartHackney campaign.
It's a super collaboration between Hackney Council and The Hackney Food Partnership and aims to reduce excessive sugar consumption in the borough.
This involves working with schools, early years, workplaces, community groups, leisure centres and independent cafes and restaurants to raise awareness and take action to reduce sugar consumption, particularly by children.
We will be making pledges at Shacklewell to reduce sugar in our diets, as part of this local and national campaign. To find out more click the link Sugar Smart UK.
