Newletter 29th June 2010

Dear Parents,

Thank you to everyone for their hard work at the fayre on Sunday. Well done to the parents’ association for another successful event.

School Uniform

Until the end of term pupils can come to school wearing shorts, t-shirts and trainers. If the weather does change and become cooler, individual parents may decide to return to normal uniform or remain in shorts and t-shirts.

Hats, Water and Sun Cream

Could you apply any sun cream before coming to school. If you send your child/ren in with sun cream please could you make sure it has their name on it. Your child/ren will need to apply their own sun cream.

Could you provide one drink of water for your child to have in class and one for their lunchbox every day. Class water bottles will not be used for lunch. Extra water for refills is available.

You can purchase a water bottle from the school office at 30p each.

Please make sure your child/ren has a named hat in school at all times.

Open Day & Sports Day - 2nd July

Sports day will start at 9.15am once the children have been divided up into their groups. A list of the groups will be on display around the school on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.

Parents can watch the activities on the playground and then have a snack with their child/ren in a designated area. Afterwards parents can go with their child/ren to look around the school, classrooms and workbooks. There will also be an art activity outside every classroom.

Art

In response to a children’s questionnaire we have been awarded a grant for more art activities which will start in September. We are also entering an art competition and the children’s entries will be displayed on Friday.

YR2 Leavers’ Assembly & Disco – 14th July

All year 2 parents are invited to attend the leavers’ assembly which will start at 9.15am.

There will be a disco in the afternoon for year 2 only (1.30 – 2.30) which has been paid for by the parents’ association. Please send your child/ren in with a change of clothing.

Tesco and Sainsbury’s Vouchers

Thank you to everyone who sent in vouchers. We collected over 15,000 Tesco and over 6,000 Sainbury’s vouchers. We will be placing our orders soon.

Thank you to Mrs Bean and Ms Stenner for counting the vouchers.

Voluntary Donations

Thank you very much for your generosity. The children have benefitted from these donations with extra resources in the classrooms. In addition we will be using the fund to provide a music workshop on 12thJuly and on 19th July M & M Productions will be in school to perform ‘Pinocchio’.

Reports

Reports will be sent home on 9th July. Please sign the slip at the bottom and return to school as soon as possible. Comments are appreciated.

Eco Schools Green Flag

Well done to Mrs Phillips and eco team of staff, pupils, parents and governors who were audited last week and we have been successful in renewing our green flag and have now been awarded a 2nd green flag.

Reminder

Please encourage your child/ren to go to the playground and run around every day before school starts (8.40am – 8.50am).

When the whistle is blown take your child/ren to their class for a prompt start.

Please do not let siblings play on any equipment set up outside classrooms as these are often ready for activities for the day.

Midday Supervisor

We are looking for one or more midday supervisors from September. The hours are 11.50am – 1.15pm. If you are interested please call in and speak to Mrs Plimsaul.
