FRIENDS AGM & MUSIC CONCERT - Tuesday 17 June (6-8pm)
As last year this will be an evening of musical entertainment from the children, with the Friends AGM being held in the interval. Refreshments will be served.

MRS DWYERI am pleased to advise you that Mrs Dwyer will be returning from maternity leave on Monday 2 June. Sadly, this means we will be saying ‘farewell’ to Mr Hawes who will be leaving us at Half Term.

BOOKS
We are looking for parents to help with cataloguing the Library books. If you are able to offer an hour or two to help we would much appreciate it. Please let the Office know. Thank you.

COUGH SWEETS
Please can we advise parents that children should not have cough sweets in school as they are a choking hazard.

TEA AND CHAT
Just a reminder that our monthly parent ‘Tea and Chat’ sessions take place on the 2nd Thursday of each month in the Nursery. We view this as a chance to catch up with old friends and make new ones. Please feel free to bring your younger children along, if you have any, so they can play while we chat. Sometimes we hope to invite guest speakers along and we will welcome your suggestions.

CLASSROOM CONGESTION
Please can we remind parents that the school council has asked that you do not to bring pushchairs into the classrooms in the morning as this causes congestion, in addition please could parents refrain from coming into the classroom after the bell has rung at 8.50am when the children should be settled ready to take the register.
