ROAD CLOSURES ON THOMAS STREET FROM MONDAY 14th -FRIDAY 18th NOVEMBER

Dear parents,

Road Closures

We have been informed today From Monday 14^th November until at least Friday 18^th November, you will not be able to drive down Thomas Street outside our school due to the road being closed because of gas mains laying. Thomas Street will turn into a one way system meaning people will ONLY be able to drive up Thomas Street from the Portadown Road under the Annagh Bridge and up to the lights outside school. You will not be able to come down Hanover Street, come from Meadow Lane or upper Thomas Street from the main street in town. We have made allowances that the only traffic which will be allowed to come down the street will be the Ulsterbus so it can stop outside our school.

We ask that everyone keeps this in mind next week. You will have to park in side streets and walk children to school or park in the car park across from the Health Centre/behind the Baptist Church and walk children around to the entrance to the school.

We would ask that you leave extra time for your journey to facilitate these traffic road closures.

Remember you will NOT be able to drop children outside the school gate for at least one week.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Regards Ms Mulholland

Your child’s poem will be attached to this letter. They will have to learn it by heart and say it on stage by themselves, in front of an audience.

The learning of the poem will take place at home, and teachers will try their utmost to help the children practice in school. This is a fantastic opportunity to help develop your child’s confidence and performance skills.

DITCH THE DARK DAY

Dear Parent,Guardian

As part of the Sustrans Active Schools Travel programme we are holding a DITCH THE DARK DAY on Tuesday 8^th November 2016.

It is a non- uniform day where we are encouraging children to walk, scoot or cycle to school, to dress as brightly as possible and to decorate their bikes and scooters in a creative and safe manner.

We will hold an assembly to discuss the importance of being bright and seen on darker mornings.  Prizes will be awarded to those who have made a special effort and some KS2 pupils will have the opportunity to be involved in hi-vis science experiments.

Parents / carers are encouraged to accompany children on their journey.

Alternatively a meeting point has been organised for 8.30am at the car park under the Annagh Bridge where children who wish to travel with staff and volunteers are welcome.

This will be a fun day while highlighting the importance of being seen while travelling to school.

We hope you will support this important safety day.

Regards Ms Mulholland and Mrs Mc Anespie

Jako część programu “Sustrans Active School Travel” w Presentation P.S odbędzie się “DITCH THE DARK DAY”, zaplanowany na 8 listopada.

W ten dzień chcemy, aby uczniowie przybyli do szkoły na rowerach lub hulajnodze ubrani w jak najbardziej jaskrawe kolory. Środek transportu także powinien być udekorowany w pomysłowy, a zarazem bezpieczny sposób.  

Na najbliższym apelu będziemy mówić o tym, jak ważne jest by w zimowe, ciemne poranki być widocznym na drodze.

Uczniowie, którzy włożą sporo zaangażowania w dekorację swojego rowera/ hulajnogi i jaskrawy ubiór zostaną nagrodzeni. Niektórzy uczniowie ze starszych klas będą mieli okazję wziąć udział w eksperymencie naukowym “hi-vis”.

Rodziców/ opiekunów zachęcamy do towarzyszenia swojemu dziecku w drodze do szkoły.

Na parkingu samochodowym pod Annagh Bridge o godz. 8:30 odbędzie się zbiórka dla uczniów, którzy będą chcieli dotrzeć do szkoły w grupie i wraz z opiekunem ze szkoły.

Ten dzień z pewnością będzie pełen zabawy, ale podkreśli jak ważne jest by być widocznym na drodze.

Liczymy na Państwa wsparcie w tej sprawie.

Z wyrazami szacunku

Como parte do programa Sustrans viagem ativa para a escola,  estamos a organizar um DIA DITCH THE DARK na terça-feira dia 8 de Novembro de 2016.

É um dia sem uniforme onde estamos a encorajar as crianças a vir para a escola a pé, de scooter ou bicicleta, a vestirem-se o mais iluminado possivel e a decorarem as suas bicicletas e scooters de forma criativa e segura.

Realizaremos uma assembleia para discutir a importância de estar iluminado e visivel nas manhãs mais escuras.  Prêmios serão entregues para aqueles que se esforçarem de uma forma especial e alguns alunos terão a oportunidade de participar em experiências científicas de hi-vis.

Pais / encarregados de educação são incentivados a acompanhar as crianças na sua jornada.

Alternativamente um ponto de encontro foi organizado para 08:30 , no parque de estacionamento sob a ponte de Annagh onde as crianças que desejam viajar com funcionários e voluntários podem comparecer e são bem-vindos.

Este será um dia divertido ao destacar a importância de ser visto durante a viagem para a escola.

Esperamos que possa apoiar este dia importante de segurança.
