Dear Parents/Carers,

We have a busy week coming up at Lakeside, so I thought I’d just remind you of some of the things that are going on:

Today is the beginning of Anti-bullying Week and pupils and staff are wearing odd socks to mark the week.  The Pupil Leadership Team will present a special assembly all about different types of bullying and how stop it from happening.  The theme this year is ‘Make a Noise About Bullying’, encouraging us to come together to have discussions about what bullying means to us, and share the message that together, we can make a difference and take a stand against bullying.  Our certificates this week will be all about respecting each other, in line with our School Values:

• Respect Ourselves
• Respect our Community
• Respect our World

Friday (17^th Nov) is Children in Need and Crazy Hair Day, where we will be collecting donations on the gate and awarding a prize for the best crazy hair.  More singing and dancing on the gate – let’s hope it’s not too windy for the hair styles!

Sending our very best wishes to all who are celebrating Diwali.  We wish you a wonderful, colourful and happy celebration.

Best wishes,

Rachel Mitchell
