Welcome to St Bridget's C of E Primary School
11/3/24
Dear Parents and Carers,
Last week Year Six were dissecting a heart, Year Five went to the Philharmonic and Year One went to Imagine That and the whole school celebrated World Book Day. We saw some great reading hats and had an enjoyable day with older children reading to younger children as well. In the KS2 playground we have introduced Pickleball which is an adapted version of tennis doubles on a smaller court. The children love it.
Supporting the local community
"Wirral Watersports Centre would like the help of St Bridget's school children to keep dog poo off our streets, parks and beaches in West Kirby. There is a competition to design and have your poster displayed around the West Kirby Marine Lake to encourage dog owners to pick up their dog poo. All you need to do is to create a poster no bigger than A4 that is eye-catching and tells people to pick up their dog's poo and put it in the bin. You can use different colours, pictures and words to get the message across. Named entries must be submitted to Mr Neal by Wednesday 20th March and winners will be announced in Assembly on Monday 25th March. The posters will be displayed alongside extra poo bags around the Lake and beachfront over the Easter holidays."
Parents Evening appointment and seeing your child’s work
On Tuesday 19th March you are welcome to come into school from 3.30pm-4.40pm to view your child’s work.
Appointments will be open to parents from 4pm Monday 18th March. On this date you should receive an email sign-up link and you a can also use this link to make an appointment with the class teacher. The deadline for making the appointments will be Friday 22nd March at 2pm. Please note that the focus of this meeting is your child’s academic progress and should you have any other issues you wish to discuss this can be organised as a separate meeting, as usual.
Easter Club
Over Easter we have a local provider running an Easter Club from 2nd April-4th April. The information for this is on the website link.
Chess Update
On Saturday Jude, Yousif and Yahya won bronze medals playing for Wirral. The team finished third in the Northern County Zonal behind Notts and Manchester. They all received bronze medals. A special shout out to Yahya who won all three of his matches; the only Wirral player to do so. Well done to Emma who has been invited to have trials for the England Junior team.
Communication home
We mostly ensure that we communicate through email, the school website and X. Sometimes we need to send letters home with the children if they need signing. Sometimes these can get lost or ruined. To ensure you have the correct information we are trying to ensure that these letters are also posted onto the website. Link
Safer Parking and School Council
Thank you to all of the parents that have supported the school’s request for safer parking in the local roads. Next week some of the children from our School Council will be coming to see the improvements in the mornings and evenings.
