Collaboration

Message from Mr Snell

As we head towards the end of term I would like to draw your attention to the fantastic 'Weltonbury' community event which is happening at school on Saturday 6th July. In the true spirit of 'collaboration' our fantastic PTFA have been busy over the last few months organising what hopes to be a very special afternoon. As you are all very aware, funding in schools is incredibly tight so any opportunity to raise important funds for your children is essential (plus any opportunity to have a good time!). So please read the information below and in particular, if you can spare even half an hour on the 6th to help, it would be very much appreciated (there is a link to click to sign up!). More information will be shared over the coming week but put the date in your diary and I look forward to seeing you there!

With thanks for your continued support, Mr Snell :) 

Can you help? 

Fantastic Futures at Welton!

We are excited to be hosting a 'Fantastic Futures' event at Welton on the morning of Wednesday 10th July, 8.30am-12.00pm. This will be an exciting opportunity for our children to learn more about the world of work and possible jobs they might consider when they are older. We already have a number of exciting visitors planned to join us on that day! If you would like to join us to talk about your job, please let us know! The morning will involve talking to groups of children and sharing what you do. Please let the school office know (office@weltonprimaryschool.co.uk) or talk with Mr Snell/Mr Lyle if you are interested. Many thanks.

Online Safety Session For Parents/Carers

Megan Haldane, Cyber Protect Officer for Avon and Somerset Police is booked to host a cyber safety session for all MNSP parents and carers. She will cover some of the up to date cyber security threats and issues together with strategies to support parents with helping to keep safe online. Essential to know!

Please sign up and join us! It really is an informative and useful session for all!

Wraparound Care

We are very excited to announce that we are going to be partnering up with Progressive Kids to offer our Wraparound Care Provision from September. This is a wonderful opportunity where children will be able to take part in daily afterschool clubs and continue to be looked after by wonderful staff who provide them with excellent opportunities at either side of the school day. If you, as parents, are interested in being part of the team, you can apply here. This comes with many benefits so please do take a look.

Please find below an example table of what a weekly afterschool timetable may look like and any frequently asked questions. If you have any further questions, please feel free to email the office. 

Thank you. 

Preloved School Clothes and uniform reminder

As the weather gets nicer, the preloved school uniform will be out the front of school every Wednesday. Please come and help yourself. We do ask for a small donation in return so that we can fund school supplies.

Thank you. 

Parking Reminder

As we come to the end of term, please refrain from parking in the school car park. This is a busy car park due to the drop off system so we ask that people do not park in the staff or visitor parking. If you need to drop your child, please park on the side streets and walk into school. Many thanks. :)

Summer Cycling Training 

We are pleased to offer free 1-2-1 Family cycle training in Somer Valley during Summer holiday.

We thought this Summer offer might interest your pupils and parents. If you are happy to promote this course, please see below more details and find a poster attached to this email.

It is a flexible training designed to instruct the lead family member to shepherd the group and boost everyone confidence on roads. The first hour will take place off-road where our instructor will introduce basic cycle skills to help prepare everyone to cycle on roads. Then, the group will have activities on cycle lanes and selected local junctions under guidance of our instructor. To attend this course, all riders must be able to ride a bike (set off, pedal, slow down and stop).

Parents only have to click HERE to fill our form and reserve a space*.

Rags2Riches

Many thanks to everyone for their kind donations - the children loved helping loading the van today! Look out for our next Rags2Riches collection in the new year!

Nursery spaces available

As you may have seen on Facebook, we are beginning to advertise nursery spaces for September. 

If you know of anyone interested in joining the Welton family, please send this to them.  Thank you

Midsomer Norton Town Fayre

Please see the flyer below regarding the Midsomer Norton Town Fayre that is coming up in July. All entries count towards Welton Primary School's overall points score and  in combination with the maypole results could help us win the 'Best Overall' trophy. Most importantly there are some fun activities here for you to complete at home if you wish.

It is free to enter and all entries must be sent into school with your child's NAME, AGE AND SCHOOL on the back. Entries will be collected from school in the morning on Wednesday 10th July. All entries will be on display in the marquee on Saturday 13th July. 

It will be lovely to see Welton families watching and supporting our maypole team who will be defending their  'Best Maypolers in Show' crown.

Come on Welton let's show the town what we can do!

Illness and Attendance at Welton

Many thanks to everyone for communicating with the office if they are unwell and can't come to school. It is really important that you let us know - if we don't know that you are unwell, it will be an unauthorised absence. 

As always, if you are having any problems, please come and chat to us - we are always willing to help. :)

Well done to all of our wonderful children showing collaboration this week!
