Family Letter number 9
Spring Term, 12th March 2009
Dear Parents,
Inset Day – Friday 20th March 2009
A reminder that Friday 20th March 2009 is a staff training day. School will be closed to pupils on this day.
On occasions you may receive a printed letter asking the reasons for your child’s absence despite the fact that you may have already contacted us. Please note that sometimes the computer optical mark reader does not pick up the marks made by the teachers on the absence forms. This is merely a second check to ensure all reasons for absence are accurate, so we would be grateful if you would complete and return the letter as requested.
Sturgeons Hill EntranceWe would remind you that the entrance onto Sturgeons Hill is a vehicle entrance. Parents and children should use the gate on Cherry Orchard at all times.
Easter Performances – Year 3 and 4We are very much looking forward to our Year 3 and 4 Easter Performances.
These will be on:
Wednesday 25th March in the afternoon
Friday 27th March in the morning.
We do hope that Year 3 and 4 parents will be able to join us. Further information will follow closer to the time.

Non-Uniform Day Thursday 19th March
We are holding a non-uniform day next Thursday (Thursday 19th March) as part of the preparations for our family Easter fundraising event, Chocolate Bingo.
Children will be able to come into school wearing their own clothes in exchange for a suggested donation of either 50 pence per child or 1 Chocolate Easter Egg per family. Just bring your money or Easter egg into school on Non-uniform day. Please note that sensible clothing and footwear should be worn in school.
Family Event Chocolate Bingo Friday 27th March 6:00-8:00 p.m.
It’s nearly Easter once again and to celebrate St Michael’s P.T.A. are holding an evening of family fun. Bingo with a twist- all the prizes are chocolate Easter eggs!
We will not be running a bar, although you are welcome to bring your own drinks (wine, beer or soft drinks). A tuck shop selling sweets and bottled water will be available on the night.
Tickets are priced at £1.00 per person (to include your first few bingo cards- additional cards will be available on the night). Please return your booking slips by Wednesday 25th March so we know numbers in advance.
