Dear Parents and Carers,

A reminder that this term finishes on Wednesday 25^th May as we have two staff training days. Term 6 will begin on Monday 6^th June. We wish you all a happy and safe holiday.

Extended School Clubs – Breakfast and After School (a last reminder as so far interest is low)

We are considering introducing a breakfast club and after school club. Firstly, we need to see if there is a need from parents for this childcare. There will be a cost per child to use these clubs, which we would keep to a minimum whilst covering costs.  If you would be interested in using these clubs, please let Kath Roberts in the school office know.

Staff Training Days

We are planning to use the first two days of the new school year in September as staff training days. This means the new school year will start for children on Monday 5^th September, 2016.

We still have one more training day to announce, which will be in the summer term. This will be announced very soon.

Lost property

There is a lot of lost property in the school.  It will be placed outside today and Monday, please come and look for any items that might belong to your child.

Hot Weather

Now that we have seen the sun over the last couple of days, please can I remind you that children should have sunscreen applied before they come to school.  It is also important that children bring water bottles into school each day.

Celebration Assembly

The next Celebration Assembly will be on Monday 16^th May at 9am, where the following children will receive their Headteacher's Award:  William (R), Isabel C (Y1), Skye R (Y1) , Marni-Rae (Y2), Frazer (Y3), Franciszek (Y4), Ellis (Y4), Amber (Y5) and Anthony (Y6)
