Monteney Fundsters
I am delighted to let all our parents know about our new fundraising group—”The Monteney Fundsters” The group chose the name following consultation in schools so congratulations to Robert Youlton Y1HC for the suggestion.
The group have now met on several occasions are are really keen to get going with some fund raising events including a Summer fair on Wednesday 11th July.
For this to be a success they are asking for donations of different items for the event to go well.
If you have any teddy bears—large or small, other cuddly toys, books, DVD’s and videos or games please could you bring these into school by July 6th.
They are also keen to run some of our popular stalls including nail painting so if you have any nail varnish colours that are spare or unwanted please bring them into school.
Any help for the group would be very welcome, especially on the day in setting up and running stalls. The face painting stall will require some help so please let Mrs Somerville know if you can help out with the fair.
Thank you
Transition Day
On Thursday July 5th all the children in school will be spen
ding the day with their new class teacher. You will be informed of the new class teacher the day before.
The majority of our Y6 pupils will be at Yewlands and those not will be supporting us in school with the transition day.
The theme for this years transition day will be India, as this also fits in with the children’s festival work we are engaged with.
We are also preparing to undertake our parents evening very differently by inviting you to attend a meeting with your child’s new class teacher, rather than this years one. You will be invited to an hour long meeting to find out about your child’s new year and the expectations school has in that year.

Pilot Specialist School
On June 11th the headteachers from the family of schools—Monteney, Mansel, Fox Hill,, Grenoside, St Thomas More RC and Woolley Wood Special school attended a meeting in London to hear about some fantastic news for our schools.
The government is very keen to find out if primary schools with a specialism can further enhance the learning and therefore the outcomes for children the school serves. For 4 years the government with the specialist schools and academies trust is working with 34 primary schools across the country to see if having a specialism would enhance the education. We are delighted to be 1 of the 34 school invited to take part.
As a family of schools we have selected Science to be our specialist subject and we will be working with key people from around the country to enhance our science teaching at Monteney.
The project is due to start in September and I will be sharing with staff, pupils and parents what we will be doing over the years as part of this project.
Well Done Monteney!
School Uniform
Agreement has now been made on the school uniform for September 2007.
All children will be expected to wear a royal blue sweatshirt, jumper or cardigan with a white polo shirt. These can have the school logo on or can be purchased from most good retailers. All children will also need to wear dark (black, navy or denim) bottoms—skirts, shorts, trousers and girls can wear gingham blue dresses in the summer. We want all children to wear black shoes, boots, sandals or trainers.
Please can no child wear bright coloured trousers or skirts, or combat style bottoms to school.
