Sports Clubs - Correction
15 Jan 2010 11:11AM
Please note the corrections to the sports clubs list that went home this week:
There is still one swim squad, which is held at Crystal Palace on a Thursday after school, 3.45-4.30pm. This is by invitation and children from year 2 to year 6 may be invited.
Netball club for year 5 and 6 is on a Tuesday morning before school from 8.00 to 8.30am.
We would like to apologise for any confusion caused. Please rest assured that you do not need to resend amended slips for these clubs.
The sports team will be posting the complete list of sports clubs and members this morning. Children are asked to check these lists as soon as possible.
Many thanks.
Staff News

Mrs. Lock sent us a text message this morning to say that, just after midnight, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. She is feeling well and hoping to go home today.
Mrs. Brown made an announcement in assembly this morning, to the delight of the children!
Weather - Update
13 Jan 2010 8:27PM
We would like to remind all parents that children are encouraged to wear tracksuit bottoms in this cold weather. As it has been so cold, the children have been continuing to wear them throughout the day. We will be inviting the children to do this for as long as this particularly cold weather remains with us.
We would also like to remind those parents who are not sending in cold/wet weather footwear that this is essential if all children are to have the opportunity to enjoy the snow. As we all know, the children love playing in the snow and, whenever it is safe do do so, we will allow it for those with appropriate footwear.
Thank you.

Welcome Back
10 Jan 2010 10:27PM
We would like to reassure all parents that Rosemead will be open on Monday, 11th January, regardless of weather conditions. Staff have been back at work since last Wednesday and almost all staff have been able to get to school despite the snow.
Please do remember to send your children to school in full winter uniform. Also, during this particularly cold spell, children may wear tracksuit bottoms for their journey to and from school, as well as at break times.
We hope you have all had a good break and look forward to seeing you in the morning.
