Welcome Back!!
We hope you had a lovely Easter / Spring Break and the children seem to have
returned to school all refreshed and rested from their 2 week holiday. Our one
problem is that Mrs Hughes, our Deputy Head, is still enjoying her holiday in
Spain - well, to be honest, she's worried about trying to get back from Spain
as she's presently stuck there due to the Icelandic Volcano Ash Cloud!! She's
hoping to be back on Thursday - but it all depends on flights and, from
listening to the news this morning, it's looking doubtful!!
After School Clubs - Keep Fit
As we are unsure whether Mrs Hughes will be back in time, Keep Fit on Friday,
23rd April will be cancelled.
Trim Trail
Have you seen our new Trim Trail?? - the wooden apparatus which has been built
at the back of the school - it looks fantastic!! Chloe, in Year 6, designed the
trail and was present at every stage of its construction. At present we are
waiting for the grass to settle before the flooring is laid underneath. Until
the flooring arrives, please can all children keep off the Trim Trail - as this
will stop shoes getting muddy and the grass being spoiled.
Year 2 Class Assembly
What a lovely Assembly Year 2 put on for us on the last day of last term - all
about the 'Cow Who Laid an Egg'. It was a super performance enjoyed by
teachers, children and parents/carers alike!! Have a look on the school website
and see the photos!! (Look under Class Stories / Year 2.)
Our next Class Assembly will be presented to us by Year 1 on the 21st May.
Team Point Winners
Last time's winners - Sycamore
Punctuality
Don't forget that school begins at 8.55am and, because of quite a few late
comers last term, we have started our "late" book which is on the shelf just
outside the office. Older children will sign themselves in and parents of
younger children will be asked to sign in on their behalf. This will prevent
children arriving after the register has been taken being marked as "absent"
and also ensure that a school dinner is ordered for those children who have
them.
Next week, instead of our usual health initiative week, we are holding a 'Get
to School on Time' week. More information will come home to you on Friday!!
Easter Egg Raffle
Many thanks to all those who bought some tickets for our Easter Egg Raffle. We
raised just over £200 which will be going towards the Tax and MOT of the
school's mini bus. Approximately 18 prizes (some big and some small) were
given out on the last day of term, with the main prize being won by Anna in our
Year 6 class. Thanks again to all the staff and PTA members of the school for
donating the prizes!!
School Lunch - Week 1 Beginning 26th April
Please ensure that dinner money is paid on Friday if you want dinners next
week. Only £9.50 per week, £1.90 a day. Money should be given, via your child,
to their teacher in an envelope marked 'Dinner Money' with their name, class
and amount.
