TEAM MELLING Y6 CHARITY RELAY TEAM RUN A RACE TO BE PROUD OF
Wed 17 Apr 2024TEAM MELLING Y6 RELAY RUNNERS
RUN A RACE TO BE PROUD OF
Today, 16 of our Y6 children and 3 staff (Mr Millington, Mr Cleaver and Miss Stewart) took part in the #knowknifecrime charity relay race. The Sefton-wide and MADCOS (Maghull & District Cluster of Schools) relay was to raise money and awareness of the need for ‘bleed-kits’ to be available nearby to all schools. In the same way defibrillators can save lives, so too can a bleed-kit. The bleed-kit was passed on (as the relay baton) from school to school and child to child. We were delighted, as a whole school, to welcome the children of Holy Rosary (with a parade of music and cheering) who passed the bleed-kit baton to our children, who in turn ran to Summerhill and passed the baton onto their team. We were so thoroughly proud of the children (and staff) from Y6 who all volunteered to take part – well done to: Tilly, Harriet, Harleigh, Teddie, Thomas, Rowan, Mason, Jude, Evan, Seb, Esme, Iyla, Lexie, Mila, Robyn and Lola…you were amazing!

WORLD BOOK DAY THURSDAY 7TH MARCH
Mon 19 Feb 2024WORLD BOOK DAY THURSDAY 7th MARCH
Poetry is valuable for all of us for many reasons: it was invented as a good way to remember important things and interesting things. It still does this, through its musical sounds, rhythms and rhymes. It’s also a good way to play with the language around us and playing pleases us. Life goes by very quickly. Poetry is a way of stopping things for a moment and pointing out something to us. It gives us time to reflect. Michael Rosen
Dear Parents/Carers
WORLD BOOK DAY IS ON THURSDAY 7TH MARCH and as usual we will be celebrating this with our children. We are looking to do something different this year and our theme for World Book Day will be a focus on POETRY. We want to encourage children to develop an interest in a wide range of poetry and to be able to perform a poem with expression, feeling and enthusiasm.
There are all sorts of poems that children should be introduced to: limericks, little two line jingles, rhyming, non-rhyming, using words to paint a picture, using words to express emotions, telling a story etc Poetry books are full of exciting short stories or glimpses of the world from someone else’s point of view.
BOOK CHARACTER COSTUME SWAP:
If your child would like to come dressed as a book character on the day – they are welcome to do so. However, we are not requesting that all children do this – so please don’t spend money on buying a new outfit! The week before World Book Day (26th Feb), if you have any Book Day costumes that you now longer require – there will be a rail underneath the canopy. Hopefully this can be used as a swapping point – place a costume on and if you need a new costume for your child take one off! In the meantime do try and read some poetry with your child. Have a look at the class page section of the website for the poetry pages.

ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION
Mon 18 Dec 2023ADIMINSTRATION OF MEDICATION 18th December 23
Dear Parents/Carers
We are experiencing a significant number of requests to administer medicines. Whilst we do appreciate that there are many illnesses at this time of the year, could I please remind you of the following notice we have with regards to a request for school staff to administer medication.
We would be grateful if you could take note of the following:
Staff are not obliged to administer medicines and so we have a very limited number of staff who are prepared to do this. If there are numerous children with medication requirements this can be very time consuming for that member of staff, who has other important responsibilities. With this in mind please could you consider the following before asking school to administer medication:
1.Your first option: You or a family member should come into school to administer the medication. If this has been thoroughly explored and is not possible...
2.Limit the medicine required in school. If four doses of the medicine are required during the day, could three be given at home and limit to one dose in school? If a dose has to be given in school...
3.We can only provide limited times during the day when the medicine can be given: 12 noon or 1pm (this will allow for medicine required before and that required after eating)...
4.Only in exceptional circumstance will we be able to administer medicine at other times of the day.
We would always wish to support our families. We understand that there will be times when children have been prescribed medicine and we are very grateful to staff who are prepared to administer. However, we would ask that you do consider the above before requesting administration of medicine in school.
