Promoting Good Manners...
We have recently been talking to the children about the importance of good manners. Thank you for continuing to help us to promote good manners with your child. Having good manners makes you a person that others want to be friends with and helps to make our world a kinder place.

- Experimenting with colour.
- Using observational skills.
- Becoming proficient in drawing and painting.
- Developing techniques in shape, tone and form.

Thank you from the Governors
A sincere and bumper “Thank You” to all the families who have made their voluntary contribution to St Paul’s C of E School. These funds are looked after by the Governors of the school and are used to support the school in a wide variety of ways. Recent projects have included the painting of the main hall and corridors, which was completed during the half term. Also, there has been a major upgrade to the IT system at St Paul’s school. The Governors have worked with a local charity, The Belling Trust, to completely renew the computer system and to provide new chromebooks for use by all pupils and staff at the school. The total investment in new equipment amounts to £150,000 and will benefit the school for many years into the future.
Funds have also been used to renew the lighting in the school using new and very efficient LED lights. New gates and fencing have been installed at the back of school to provide higher security and protection for all pupils.
The Governors are proud to be able to help the school and are grateful for the generosity of all parents and families.

Gardening news
Spring is finally on its way and the bottom part of the field is looking beautiful with daffodils and the shrubs beginning to bud. We took delivery of some saplings and Year 4 planted some along the fence and in the bottom part of our school field. They were a pleasure to work with.
We have also been asked by Winchmore Hill Residents association to maintain the planters which demark the School Street near to Station Road. They have funded the purchase of new plants. Some children and staff went along last week, tidied them up and popped in some new plants which the WHRA has funded. We hope you enjoy them as you walk past.

Lunchtime
After Easter we will be having a change to how lunchtime runs. As you will be aware Taylor Shaw we be taking over running the catering side of things.
We have recently been working with Schools Health UK who have completed an audit of how our current lunchtime works and have made some suggestions of how we could continue to develop it. Please see some of the changes which will take place below:
- Set sittings – There will be 3 different sittings, enabling children to know the exact time they will be eating their lunch and who they will be sitting with each day
- Reduced queues – The number of times children have to queue during the lunchtime period will be reduced
- Mixed tables – Children who have packed lunches will be able to sit with children who are having a school dinner.
- Playground – A range of new resources have been purchased for the playground. The playground will be divided into different areas, including a ball area, free play area, equipment area and wellbeing area.

Mrs Zmajkovic
We said goodbye to Mrs Zmajkovic this week. The children presented her with flowers and a card they had created to thank her for all of her hard work. I am sure that Denise would like me to thank everyone for the very generous gifts she received. I know she was very humbled by them all.

Lost Property
We still have a large amount of lost property in school.
Please ensure all school uniform is named, so it can be returned to its owner. In addition, please put names on all PE Kit Bags and Water Bottles as, whilst children may recognise them, it helps reunite them when they are left around school.
|
Summer Uniform
Next term, children are able to wear summer uniform. All relevant information regarding school uniform can be found on the school website.
Due to the constantly changeable weather please ensure your child has a coat at school each day.

Autism Acceptance Week
This week is World Autism Acceptance Week. This is a global chance to raise awareness of autism and fundraise for charities that support those with autism in our communities. As part of our school efforts to raise awareness of autism we will be having an Autism Awareness Day at school on Friday 21st April where we will support the children in learning more about autism and raising money for a local charity 'One To One', who support adults with learning disabilities and autism in Enfield. A symbol that is often used to represent autism is a rainbow spectrum to visually represent the range of autism symptoms and individuals with autism’s abilities and challenges, so we would like to invite the children to wear their own colourful clothes on this day and bring in a small donation for the charity. We will also be hosting our next Neurodiversity coffee morning on this day at 10am. This is a chance for parents of children with a Neurodiversity to meet and talk together. Please email Miss Perrin if you would like to attend or if you would like more information.
