Tithe Barn School

Sally the rabbit is spending the holidays with Mr Jones, eating the grass (and mostly weeds) in the back garden. She’s getting plenty of excercise trying to escape from Emma and has a nice little hutch to sleep in at night that we could bring in to school next term. What are you up to in the holidays? Are you having a good time somewhere? Let us know!!

Miss Lagiewka and Mr Babińska are getting married in the holidays and are celebrating tonight with the Tithe Barn staff, sharing a cake with us! Good luck and all the best in the future!

Dear Parents

Year 6 Leavers – 2009

This year we see 18 families leave Tithe Barn. This is always a very sad time for staff at School as they have had contact with these families for many years through older siblings attending School. This year’s Year 6 have been outstanding and have been a pleasure to have had at Tithe Barn. I know they will continue to be Cheerful, Confident Achievers as they travel through their next stage of their life. I would also like to thank Year 6 parents for their tremendous support over the years.

The following awards have been made to the Year 6 Leavers:

CCA of Tithe Barn – Harry Marshall

The Graham Trophy for Sports (Girl) – Katie Thorburn

The Graham Trophy for Sports (Boy) – Elliot Wynne

The Cooke Trophy (Boys) – Charlie Rabone

The Cooke Trophy (Girls) – Jessica Budgett

Dinner Money

Dinner money the next half term is £56.10. Please send the correct amount of money (cheques made payable to Tithe Barn Primary School) to Mrs. Jones in a clearly marked, sealed envelope on the first day back after the holidays. Unfortunately due to the computerized system for recording dinner money we cannot accept any other money included on cheques for dinner money. We also require 1 weeks’ notice if your child is changing from school lunches to packed lunches.

Back to School in September

School reopens for In Service training on Monday 7 September for staff. Children are due back to School on Wednesday 9 September.

School Premises over the Summer Holidays

School is undergoing a total rewire and upgrade of the alarm systems over the summer holidays. We are also having work done on the Reception class playground and completing the final stage of refurbishment of the Year 5 and Year 6 area.

Friends of Tithe Barn

A huge thank you to everyone for attending the Summer Fair and also to the big team of helpers! The Fair raised a fantastic total of £3700.

A special thank you goes to Julie Woosey and Sarah Norton for arranging the Fair. Julie has now kindly offered to take over the position of Chair of Friends of Tithe Barn. I am sure she will make a fantastic Chair and I look forward to some great events next year.

Miss Brown

Congratulations to Miss Brown and Mr Evans on the safe arrival of Baby Samuel, who was born on Friday 17 July, weighing 6lbs 10oz. It was lovely to see them when they visited School today.

Miss Knott

Kelly Knott, Learning Support Assistant, is leaving Tithe Barn on 23^rd September to travel to Kentucky in America to join a prestigious ‘American Wrestling Academy’. We all wish Kelly the best of luck – she is a star!

Miss Lagiewka

Congratulations to Miss Lagiewka who is getting married in Poland on the 22^nd August to Bartek. When she returns to School in September she will be known as Mrs Babinska.

Miss Wilson

A big thank you to Miss Wilson who has fantastically taught Year 6 since Miss Brown commenced her maternity leave. She took Year 6 on their visit to Lakeside last week which was a huge success. We wish Miss Wilson all the best in her new teaching post at a School on the Wirral. We know she will be outstanding!

Have a safe and restful holiday. I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 9^th September.

Yours sincerely

T H Buckley

Headteacher

I would just like to say a great BIG thank-you to every single one of you in Year 5 for making my year in your class such a great experience.

I have enjoyed getting to know you all and have loved all the enthusiasm you all bring to the school each day, which in turn has rubbed off on to me.

 I hope you have a fantastic Summer break and good luck in Year 6….
