Noticeboard - Friday Reminders
FRIDAY REMINDERS 23.01.2026
Dear Families,
Here are your Friday Reminders!
** IMPORTANT: SCHOOL EMAILS GOING TO SPAM/ JUNK**
We have been made aware that many parents are not receiving emails we send via Arbor as they are going into their SPAM/Junk folder.
Sometimes this happens when the recipient has previously marked Arbor emails as spam by mistake, training their email system to do so. To help reduce this issue, you might consider adding Arbor's sending email address to your safe sender or contacts list, together with reguralry checking your Spam/Junk folder and marking the School Arbor emails as "Not Spam."
If you could share this message in your Class Whatsapp group, it would be much appreciated. All important school communication is sent via Arbor email system and it's really crucial all families are able to receive it.

"THIS WEEK'S SUSTAINABILITY TIP"
Solar Energy in Winter -Solar panels can still generate electricity in the UK during winter months, especially on bright, clear days.
What can you do?
Entertain yourself trying not to use electricity – you can create mini green-houses with recycled plastic cups or boxes, or you can build a solar-powered “oven” to roast marshmallows, or an updraft tower with foil, tins and cupboard!

Energy-saving activities - turn off lights when leaving a room, unplug devices when not running, only heat the amount of water you need in the kettle. Children can help monitoring these activities every day!
If you’re home hot water runs on electricity, consider washing your hands and brushing your teeth with cold water only, and have shorter showers.
And finally, watch “Moore Power”, a short video where Mr Moore (Building Manager) explains how our school solar panels work and benefit Patcham Junior’s energy consumption. Watch it here!

Our Sustainability Plan page is regularly updated with all the steps Patcham Junior is taking towards Zero Net 2030, and you can find weekly Sustainablility Tips added at the bottom of the page.
Please check our board at the main gate for more information on how you can help us:
