On Thursday 7th March 2013 we will be celebrating World Book Day. 
World Book Day is a special day where we get to celebrate reading and all the wonderful books we love!
Children are welcome to come to school dressed as their favourite story book character for 20p.
They may also bring their favourite book into school to share with their class.

We look forward to seeing everyone's fancy dress!!

Animal Update

Great News!!
We have had 3 baby budgies born today at Timberley.

If you would like to come and see the new additions to our animals, please come into the school office.

They are gorgeous! 
There is a beautiful lilac little girl, called Jayne. 
Also, two more, a yellow one and a green one with a blue tail, which are yet to be named.

 

Parking Reminder
 

Please do not park on the grass verges when you drop or pick up your children from school.  
We are getting complaints from the neighbours as the grass is being damaged and cars are parking across their drives. 
It is very important that we keep good relationships with our neighbours, but it is proving difficult with the complaints.
Also, please remember to keep the slip road into school clear.

On Thursday a police lady came to Timberley to visit to monitor the parking situation and issued parking tickets and warnings to cars parked where not appropriate.

Thank you for everyones co-operation.

Reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday 6th February 2013, is Parents Evening from 4.30pm till 6.30pm.
All Parents and Carers are welcomed and encouraged to come along to Parents Evening to meet with the class teacher and see how your child is getting on in school.
Parents Evening also gives you the opportunity to talk to the class teacher about any concerns or questions you may have.

Unfortunately, there will be NO Parents Evening for class 4B, 1C or 2C.
A date for class 4B, 1C and 2C will be arranged for a later date.

































 We are sure you will be very happy with your child's parents evening

The children in year 5 and 6 are taking part in a DFE national reading competition. The children have logged onto the secure competition website and are asked to read a book from each category (there are 8 categories in total) between 21st January and  22nd March 2013.

When the children have logged to say they have completed reading a book they will be asked two questions to explore how they felt about the book they have just read.

We have many of the books featured on the reading list in school for the children to borrow and some of the titles are also available for children to read online. Children could also visit the library in Shard End to borrow a book they would like to read.

Children who take part can win individual awards for:

The most books read

The most interesting written responses to books.

As a school we can also win a donation of books from Pearson, Penguin and DK Publishers.

We wish all of our year 5 and 6 pupils the best in this competition- Happy reading!!
