  • Junior - Weekly email - Friday 8th March

    Fri 08 Mar 2024 CSG Junior School
    Dear Parents / Carers
     
    It was lovely to see so many family members in school today for our family day. Thank you to our fabulous PTA for sorting all of the gift orders and running the cafe this morning.
     
    Well done to the Year 6 girls netball squad who came third in the netball tournament at DCHS on Tuesday. The Year 5 squad also played well in their first competition. The U11 boys football team drew their league match against Little Chalfont on Wednesday 4-4 - well done to Jack F who scored a hat trick. 
     
    We hope that the Year 4s enjoyed the football festival at Davenies on Tuesday  Feedback from Davenies: The sun shone, the football played by boys and girls was of a high standard (I thought the goalkeeping was particularly brave and outstanding), the effort and excitement was off the scale and there was plenty of good sportsmanship on show.
     
    Congratulations to the U10 (Year 5) boys football team who finished second in their league over the season, and as runner-up this has qualified them for the quarter final of the competition. Good luck to them in their match against Holmer Green in a couple of weeks.
     
    Thank you to Mrs Mannick for organising our World Book Day yesterday - there were some wondrous wonderful words' costumes in school.
     
    Music and Arts - performers will be having a rehearsal with Mr Holmes next Wednesday morning - please can children bring in everything that they will need to do their performance on that day
     
    Year 5 Churches trip on Monday 25th March - we are looking for two more parents to help on this trip to make it viable. If you are able to help please can you contact the school office or speak to your class teacher. Thank you
     
    Nursery are holding an Open Day on Tuesday 12th March, if you or anyone you know is interested in a tour please contact the school office.
     
    Menu change on Tuesday 12th March - update from St Joseph's Kitchen - following on from feedback regarding the BBQ sauce which has previously been served with the chicken bites, our hub kitchen has decided to send tomato ketchup instead of the BBQ sauce. 
    Allergens: Contains Celery
     
    Junior School Amazon Wish List - for future gifts, it is always lovely to know who has sent them so we can thank you properly! The link to the gift list can be found here https://amzn.eu/fVdAqFF.

    Dear Parents / Carers
     
    We have another busy week ahead with sports events, parent's evening, library and church trips, World Book day and Family Day as well as our usual clubs and music lessons! 
     
    Well done to the U10 girls football team who won their home game against St Mary's last Friday. The U10 boys also won convincingly against Little Chalfont on Tuesday. The U10 girls match planned for today has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
     
    World Book Day - Thursday 7th March - as part of our celebrations for World Book Day, we would like to invite your children to come to school dressed as an exciting word, with our theme being ‘Wonderful Words.’ The possibilities for this are endless and full details are given in the letter here 
     
    Thank you for all of your book donations for the second-hand book sale which all children will have the opportunity to visit on World Book Day. We now have plenty of books as we have had 483 books donated!!! We will be asking for a donation of 50p for a book and kindly ask that children initially only bring in one 50p for one book, so we can ensure all children are able to choose one on Thursday 7th. Any books left over at the end of the sale will be available for everyone at an after-school sale in the dining room. We are very grateful for all the kind donations we have received for this sale; the money raised will go back into buying new and interesting books for the children
     
    Family Day - Friday 8th March - Children will be coming in to school at the normal time (between 8.45 and 8.55), parents are invited in from 9:30am. Parents will be able to come in via the main entrance by the office and collect a visitor sticker. Visitors are welcome at any time between 9.30am and 11.30am. and are not expected to stay for the whole 2 hours! Please ensure you have completed the Google form here for Family Day by next Monday 4th March to let us know if you are planning to visit or not
     
    Comic Relief Day - Friday 15th March - We are again supporting the Comic Relief charity and children are invited to wear something red in return for a suggested £1 donation on Friday 15th March. This can be a costume with a red theme or just your normal uniform with something red. 
     
    Please see the link below to donate 
     
     
    Online Games - some of the children have been talking about online games in school, and in particular, Fortnite.  Fortnite itself has an age rating of Parental Guidance from PEGI, with some of the add on apps and festivals being rated as a 12+. Please use your judgement as to whether you feel these games are appropriate for your children. Some links to more information are below:

    PEGI rating
    Parents' Guide to Fortnite
    Fortnite - what parents need to know
     
    Sickness and diarrhoea -a reminder that if your child has been physically sick or had diarrhoea, even just the once, they need to stay off school for 48 hours following the last bout to reduce the risk of spreading illnesses. Thank you for your support.

    Dear Parents/Carers,

     
    It has been lovely to welcome the children back this week.
     
    Miss Foxe
    Huge congratulations to Miss Foxe who is getting married tomorrow! We held a special assembly and the Year 1 children and staff had their own celebration. Miss Foxe will keep her surname but will now be called 'Mrs Foxe'.
     
    Arts Week
    The children have thoroughly enjoyed Arts Week where they created clay models and other pieces of art based on Disney films to celebrate 100 years of Disney. We were also treated to a performance from the very talented Mrs Mossop who played a variety of Disney film tunes on her violin and trombone. Thank you very much to Mrs Mossop and also to Mrs Watt who organised the activities this week.
     
    Nursery Open Day

    Governor Vacancy
    One of our school governors, Jessica Svensson, has stepped down from the governing board.  We thank her for her contribution to the school and are now looking for someone to replace her.  This is not an elected position but is open to any parent or other member of the community to apply. The vacancy will be filled following a meeting with a small group of governors who will want to find out more about you and what you can offer the school. The main requirements are an interest in education, a willingness to learn, question and challenge, and a motivation to help make CSG Village School as excellent as it can possibly be.  You also need to be able to commit 2-4 hours a week during term time, ideally some of which will be during the school day.  In return, you get to learn a lot about how the school operates, be involved in important decisions affecting the children and staff and be part of an enthusiastic and committed team. If you are interested, please contact me via either school office or via the school website https://www.csgvillageschool.org/feedback-form-1/ to discuss or to apply.

    on their excellent reading and also their wonderful singing. There was also an open invitation to any children who might like to sing in the church choir (incidentally, two Year 3 and two Year 4 pupils already sing in the choir). Choir practices during term time are held in
    the church on Fridays, 5.15pm to 6.15pm (followed once a fortnight by pizzas!). The choir sing at the 9.30 service on Sunday mornings. If you think your child might be interested in joining the choir, please contact Cathy Langdale, the church choir director on csgchurchchoir@gmail.com for more details. She will be delighted to hear from you.

    Dear Parents / Carers
     
    We hope that children enjoyed the PE Festivals run by Amersham school this week. It was lovely to meet former pupils who help to run these events as sports leaders at Amersham School. Thank you to the parents who helped out with the Year 4 and Year 5 Festivals this week
     
    Good luck to the boys U10s football team who have a match at Chalfont St Peters Academy this afternoon.
     
    Our Arts Week is the week of 19th to 23rd February and our Arts week theme this year is based on celebrating 100 years of Disney. 
     
    Year 3 will be watching the movie 'Moana' and creating some Polynesian inspired art. As this is a PG film we are asking for consents for Year 4 children to watch this film - details here
     
    Year 4 will be watching the movie 'Coco' and creating some Mexican inspired art. As this is a PG film we are asking for consents for Year 4 children to watch this film - details here
     
    Communication - if you have an issue or a question for a member of staff please email in via the school office and your message will be forwarded to the relevant person. Please note that Google Classroom is only for children to communicate with their teachers and should not be used by parents for general questions or to raise general points. 
     
    Cocktail sticks - we would ask that children do not bring in cocktail sticks with their fruit snacks or lunchtime fruit. Thank you
     
    Zebra crossings raised tables - public consultation. Please see the information below from the Chalfont St Giles Parish Council - You may be aware that Chalfont St Giles Parish Council proposed a number of traffic calming measures to Buckinghamshire Council through the HS2 Road Safety Fund. The only suggestion that was supported by Bucks Council was to raise the tables on the zebra crossings on the High Street and on Deanway. There is now a public consultation running until 18 February to explain exactly what is proposed and to ask the public to complete a short survey.
     
    Buckinghamshore Council Energy Doctor service - If you want to improve the energy efficiency of your home you can request a visit from a domestic resource efficiency officer (called an 'Energy Doctor') if you meet their criteria. Energy Doctors can advise on ways that eligible households can reduce energy consumption and costs and put in place suitable low-cost easy retrofit resource efficiency (LCERRE) measures

    LCERRE measures include:
    • draught proofing for windows, doors, letterboxes and chimneys
    • hot water cylinder insulation jackets
    • reflective radiator panels
    • secondary glazing film
    • portable solar generators
    • electricity consumption monitors
    • thermometer cards
    • LED lights
    • Heated throws

     

    Eligibility - To qualify for a visit to their home, families must meet all of the following criteria:
    • they rent the property through a private rental agreement, or own and live in the property
    • their household has an income of £30,000 or less (before tax), is in receipt of means tested benefits such as Universal Credit and Council Tax Support, or a member of the household is disabled
    • the domestic property they live in has an energy performance certificate (EPC) rating of D, E, F or G, or does not legally require an EPC
    • We will prioritise visits for those who meet these eligibility criteria and live in the Opportunity Bucks areas.

     

    How to make a referral - Please contact Better Housing Better Health in the first instance who can assess eligibility for an Energy Doctor visit and other services. Better Housing Better Health Tel: 0800 107 0044 or Website: Home - Better Housing Better Health (bhbh.org.uk)
     
    Book donations - Many thanks to all the families for the generous book donations we have received over the last two weeks. The books have been of an excellent quality! We are still accepting donations of good quality, age appropriate, second hand books, these can be given to the office.
