Dormanstown Blog – 9th October

Home Learning Questionnaire

Children will be bringing a home learning questionnaire home today – please complete and return to the academy asap, thank you.

Wear Red Day

On Friday 16th October, we will be raising money for Show Racism the Red Card and the theme is “Wear Red Day”.  In the academy, the children (and staff) will be able to wear anything red on the day for a £1 donation (please no PJs/nightwear).

Due to COVID-19 restrictions the donations will be collected in a bucket as the children enter school at all entrances (any loose change also welcome!)

During the day, the children will be taking part in some activities to raise awareness of this extremely important and prevalent issue.

We hope that you are able to support us with this very worthwhile charity, and we look forward to an exciting day!     

P.E. Kits

Due to the majority of our P.E. lessons currently taking place outdoors, please could we ask that the children bring in tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie / tracksuit top to wear for their lessons, so they are warm, especially as the weather gets cooler. Many thanks for your support.
