SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS
Congratulations to the upper school athletics team who attended the regional heat of the Christchurch

say that CJS won on the day and are through to the next round, the Christchurch and Purbeck Area
Finals.
CHILDREN IN NEED – MUFTI DAY – FRIDAY 14 NOVEMBER 2014
CJS children traditionally plan and run their own “Bring and Buy” table top sale each year for Children in
Need. Each class will set up a table for cakes / biscuits (please remember that they must be nut free)
and good, used condition books and toys (please make sure that games and puzzles are complete and
the lids are taped to prevent pieces being lost). Items for sale can be brought to school on the day and
the children are asked to bring plenty of change to spend. Children can wear mufti and a suggested
donation of £1 is requested. Last year we raised an amazing £1057.30 for Children in Need.

CHRISTCHURCH PARENT DROP IN
The Parent Partnership Service is running drop in sessions for parents in Christchurch. These drop in
sessions are an opportunity to have tea/coffee and to meet informally with professionals who can offer
support, advice and guidance on many issues affecting family life. The areas they cover include:
housing, budgeting, challenging behaviour, special educational needs, childcare and general information
on local activities. They can also offer a listening ear. These sessions will be held at Burton Youth
Centre (BH23 7NH), 10am to 12 noon on November 17th and December 1st and 15th.
NUT FREE SCHOOL
Please remember that we promote a nut free environment in school to protect our children and adults
who have life threatening allergic reactions to nuts and nut products (ie anaphylaxis). Please could we
ask that you read product labels carefully and avoid, wherever possible, sending your children with items
marked “may contain nuts”. Many thanks for your assistance.
HEAD LICE
As head lice in school is a recurring problem, could we please ask that you continue checking your
child’s hair on a regular basis with a detection comb?
Should you require further information or help on detection and treatments, please consult
your family doctor, your local pharmacist or contact our school nurse on 01202 891157.
