MCR Active - Free places for Easter Activities

The Easter Holidays are fast approaching. MCRactive and Manchester City Council are offering thousands of FREE
places for children eligible for benefits-related free school meals. Activities will range from Sport and Physical
Activities, Arts and Crafts and much more. In addition to the activities, their booked place will include a FREE meal
during the day.

For more information & to book your child’s space*:

You will need to sign up for an MCRactive Go account https://www.mcractive.com/ (sign in). Once signed up, log into your account – Find Activities – Search by Category ‘MCR Holiday
Activity’ - . Use code: 62449 to book free eligible activities.

*Please only book your child onto a holiday camp if they will be attending. Spaces at each camp are limited. If you
book a space and your child can no longer attend, please cancel your space as far in advance as possible, to allow the
opportunity for another child to take their space at the activity and free meal.

As a school we are committed to improving reading for all pupils, therefore we are writing to invite you to our Parent Reading Workshops. These workshops will inform you about:
• Why reading is such an important part of the curriculum
• How reading is taught across school
• How you can support your child effectively at home
The workshops will take place in the classrooms next week - please check your emails for your child class time.

Guess Who? Can you guess the staff members......

Happy World Book Day! The theme this year is 'Reading for Pleasure'. To celebrate, children can come to school in their own clothes, costumes or PJ's ready to enjoy "Cosy Stories". At the end of the day, each child will receive a World Book Day Voucher to redeem against one of this year’s chosen titles.

Please come and help us to improve our school grounds....

Amazing attendance today. Well done to everyone getting to school and battling the snow!

E-Scooters
We are aware that a small number of pupils own an electric scooter and have been using these to get to and from school.
Following advice from Greater Manchester Police (see link below) and to ensure the safety of our students, electric scooters are not permitted on school grounds, with immediate effect. As always, pupils are very welcome to travel to and from school by bike or kick scooter.
https://www.gmp.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/rs/road-safety/advice-escooters/
This only impacts very few pupils currently, however, as e-scooters become more popular, we wanted to ensure that parents, carers and pupils are very clear around our position on this as a school.

Advice on e-scooter usage Read our advice on the safe and legal use of e-scooters, including information on enforcement measures.

Thank You!
Thank you for supporting our Christmas events so well this year and for the many gifts and cards sent into school, which are really appreciated by all the staff.
