We work closely with Police Community Support Officer’s and Police Officers in the local community as part of the Trafford Safer Schools Partnership. On that day Police came to check on road safety as children and families arrived at school. Unfortunately the police had to issue some fines to some parents of children not wearing seatbelts. To find out more about road safety and keeping your child safe please visit the Think! Website: think.direct.gov.uk The school council will be looking at ways to raise awareness of road safety so everyone is safe during the busy start and finish times of school.

To support your child please think about the following: Reminding your child not to worry and talking to them about their SATS. Ensuring your child has enough sleep the night before their tests. Ensuring your child has a drinks bottle in school – keeping hydrated helps concentration! Ensuring your child arrives into school on time. Be positive – most children enjoy the week! Year 6 Breakfast Eco Committee news Year 6 will be attending a free breakfast club at 8am each day next week to get ready and prepare for their SATS tests. Please ensure all consent forms are brought in before Monday. Our Eco Committee and Deputy Eco Committee members are taking part in a litter pick for Keep Britain Tidy as part of their #greatplasticpickup event today. Look out for pictures in next weeks newsletter! School Library Books Warmer Weather Please could all children (and parents) check for any school library books in the home. We have some books on loan which need returning to our school library. If you have any books in excellent condition which you would like to donate, please feel free to do so! Just a reminder that you may wish to apply sun cream on your child while the weather is warmer. Please also check your child has a water bottle (with their name on it) in school so they can stay hydrated! Follow us on twitter: @OTCAcademy Visit us at: oldtraffordcommunityacademy.co.uk
