COLLINGWOOD NEWS – Autumn 2– 2019

Dear parents and carers,

Because there is so much going on at the moment, I thought I would send this newsletter early.

We have had an excellent first half term at Collingwood this year and improvements to the building are still going on. New i-pads have been ordered alongside sound-proofing and a new screen for the IT suite. The doors in the corridor and in the Reception and year 1 classes are due to be completed during half term and the asbestos removal is on track ready for the temporary heating to be installed on time—we will not be sorry to say goodbye to the calor gas heaters!

Please could you make sure that there are no children on the yard before 8am in the mornings as there is no supervision and we are concerned about the possible dangers on the dark, cold winter mornings.

I look forward to seeing you all at the up-and-coming events in the run up to Christmas.

Mrs Bland
