Newsletter 10th March 2016

Dear Parent/ Carer,

We have had a short but hectic week in school!

Lunchtimes are proving to be much happier for children and they are really enjoying the new equipment in the playground and using Friendly Faces! Some of our year 5 pupils have volunteered to be friend leaders at lunchtimes and this is working really well as they coordinate games and activities for younger pupils and encourage them to play. A big thank you to them!

Another reminder that on Thursday 24^th March our PTA will be holding an Easter Raffle in school… This will be a non-uniform day and we kindly ask for chocolate/ Easter donations along with a £1 or more for pupils to buy a raffle ticket in order that they can win these great prizes. We are hoping that this will be a success in order to raise funds to further improve lunchtimes and playtimes for our children!

Please note that we have an INSET day tomorrow Friday 11^th March and so school will be closed to pupils. We hope to be able to communicate INSET days for 2016/17 before the Easter break.

Have a lovely long weekend and thank you for your continued support,

Mrs Harris

Are you going abroad over the Easter break? If so, chances are you'll return home with a handful of foreign currency that will end up floating around your home.  Well the PTA can use them! We are starting a collection of currency from any corner of the globe, including notes. We can accept old UK, Irish and pre euro coins, even damaged ones.

This collection will help us to raise much needed funds for the new playground. Coins/notes can be left in the grey box outside the school office. Any donations of currency will be greatly received, no matter how small!
