  The tickets will go on sale via sQuid and will cost £1 per strip of tickets, the cake will then be raffled on Friday 20 May. The cake has been made by a local company Barns Bakes.

• SUPPORT OUR OUTDOOR LEARNING PROJECT

  The Nectar Room Project. 

   

  We hope that you have seen the recent development on the far side of our school field. We think it is amazing and want to share some exciting news with you as well as ask for your help and support.

  Our parent governor, Danielle Jeynes, is leading the development of our school outdoor area and through her business has created a multi step plan to develop the outdoor learning environment and then eventually enable more of the Pelsall community to use our outdoor space. 

  Part of this plan is called 'The Nectar Room' - the powerpoint showing this is below.

  To complete this project we need your support. Danielle has created a 'crowdfunding' site for the project. We know that times are difficult but if you can share this site with all your family and friends we are sure we can reach our target. This then will help your children to have access to superb outdoor learning that can support many areas of their learning, including their mental health. 

  Please have a look at our plans and also the crowdfunding site. Thank you!

• Sun Safety Week

  Mon 02 May 2022 Mrs Sandra Lawton

  It is important that parents, staff and pupils work together to ensure that we can all enjoy the sun safely over the summer months.  The sun’s rays are particularly strong over the summer and they can damage children’s skin. Dehydration and over-exposure to sunlight can cause huge health worries which we would like to avoid.  Your child’s health and wellbeing are very important to us and sun safety is something that we take seriously at Pelsall Village. 

  Your support is very important.  You can help by:

  • Talking to your child about the importance of sun protection at home.
  • Sending your child into school with a named sunhat.  
  • Applying a high factor sun cream to your child before sending them to school.  We recommend you use an ‘all day’ variety as staff are unable to reapply sun cream to children during the school day.  However, if your child needs to reapply and is able to do so themselves they can bring in clearly labelled sun cream to reapply themselves at the beginning of lunchtime.
  • Ensuring your child brings a water bottle to school and encourage them to drink plenty of water – we will remind them too!

  Why is sun protection important for children and young people? 

  The number of cases of malignant melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer is rising at an alarming rate.  The good news is that the majority of these cases could be prevented.  Most skin cancers are caused by too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.  If we protect ourselves from overexposure to the sun then we can reduce our risk. This is particularly important for children and young people whose skin is more delicate and easily damaged.

  What about vitamin D? 

  We all need some sun to make enough vitamin D.  Enjoying the sun safely, while taking care not to burn, should help most people get a good balance without raising the risk of skin cancer. For more information on vitamin D, visit the SunSmart website:
