There has been a fantastic response to our project to provide Bourton Church with embroidered kneelers - thank you to everyone who has taken up the challenge so far.
Henrietta Hoyland is kindly hosting "Stitch & Sip" sessions in the Drawing Room for all those making kneelers - these are a great opportunity to pick up tips or impart your expert knowledge, as well as sew together over a cup of tea and cake. The sessions are at 3.30pm on Monday 20th February and Monday 12th March.
Sailing lessons will restart in the Summer Term. This has been a very successful activity in the past, with Pinewood pupils really enjoying the course and learning a lot in the process.
Please let Mr Bischoff know as soon as you can if you would like your child to have lessons at the South Cerney Outdoor Education Centre. The lessons will be on six Thursdays (during the normal Thursday afternoon activities session) in the Summer term, leaving Pinewood at 3.05pm and arriving back at 6.00pm.
We need six children to make up a group and then the cost per child will be £92 for the six 2 hour lessons (if we don’t get six children the price will increase pro-rata). Lessons are available at Stage 1, 2 or 3.

Concerns regarding head lice have been noted in recent weeks and a pro-active measure to eradicate the problem is required.
Past experience has shown that an increase in “nit numbers” can occur at any time. Research shows that wet combing with conditioner and a nit comb is the only reliable method for the eradication of head lice.
Please may we ask you and your children to use the wet method as a matter of routine once or twice a week, whether they have head lice or not.

A reminder at the start of term to highlight to everyone the importance of hand washing and the use of alcohol gels at appropriate times, such as after visiting the lavatory, before meals, after handling any obviously dirty objects. This can reduce the risk of diseases spreading especially sickness and diarrhoea. Simply by hand washing this reduces the risk of contamination and the spread of diseases. This sort of disease can spread very quickly amongst children.
For a more information on correct hand washing procedures go to www.hpa.org.uk. Or if you have any concerns or questions please don’t hesitate to contact Julia or Ruth in Surgery on 01793 782205 or surgery@pinewoodschool.co.uk
Anyone who would like a copy of the school’s twice termly prayer letter is welcome to have one. Just email Andrew Caird on andrewcaird@pinewoodschool.co.uk.
