Year 5 – Thanks to ParentsThe staff of Year 5 would like to say a special thank you to all parents who gave their time to help in our sewing sessions, making rucksacks, in connection with our Curriculum Topic ‘Mighty Mountains, Raging Rivers’. We would not have been able to do it without you, so thank you so much.
Your child will have been given a sheet of ‘Recommended Reads’With the summer holidays nearly here, this is the perfect time to relax with a book! In celebration of 70 years of Puffin Books please find a selection of ‘recommended reads’ to share and enjoy.
Summer Scrapbook ChallengeYour child is bringing home a ‘Summer Scrapbook’, which we would like them to fill in and add to over the 6 weeks. For further details please look at page 2 of the Scrapbook.
Sports Days
We would like to thank all parents and grandparents who attended this event. The children all enjoyed the days very much.
In September the cost of school lunch remain at £2.10. Will all parents whose children owe lunch money please send it into school tomorrow. On occasions your child may come home with a note from the kitchen regarding a shortage of dinner money. We appreciate at times that this can be frustrating but obviously we can only respond to the money the children present. If they lose money before it is given to the cashier or any change afterwards, then we are not in a position to replace it or accept any responsibility.
Music LessonsThe list has now closed for requests. If you have applied for your child to be considered for peripatetic music lessons next year you will be informed of the allocated times in September.
Lost Property
We have lots of unclaimed lost property. If your child has missing items please call into the school office. Anything not claimed by the first week in September will be disposed of.
