Message From Mrs Dance
Dear parents and carers,
Welcome back to school. I trust that you all had a lovely half term week.
Over half term, a number of building initiatives took place in and around the school site. The second phase of the school car park was completed. Creating more spaces, safer bin storage and a new bike park. Please encourage 
your children to use this bike park or the existing blue scooter park, as it ensures a clear pathway to school and keeps the equipment safe. The Hampshire Safer Roads team have also added street furniture to the Vigo Road, this is part of the travel plan for our school and the other schools on the Vigo quadrant. I will continue to work with all stakeholders to ensure that we continue to make the start and end of the day at school a safe one.
The children have returned to school with a strong “spark to start”! It has been great to see all the fantastic value’s posters created by the children adorning Mr Dockree’s office walls. This term we will be choosing our value posters and working to create digital images which will be displayed in every classroom and across the school. We will share these with you all soon.
I have had the fantastic privilege of spending the first 3 days with Y6 on their Calshot residential, I LOVED it! I got to spend lots of time with the children, getting to know them even more and joining in with the activities. The ringos are my favourite! I enjoyed running up the dry ski slope with my ringo alongside the children and shooting down to the bottom!
The children have been exemplary in their behaviour, epitomising our MIRROR values throughout the week. Thank you to the staff team who have facilitated this amazing enrichment experience for the children. Without them volunteering their time, the residential would not be possible.
Finally, the second Parent Forum of this year is taking place on Monday 10th November. If you would like to share anything with the group, please speak to a Parent forum Rep. Their details can be found on the school website by clicking on this link: Vigo Primary School - Parent Forum
Wishing you all a lovely weekend.
