WHOLE SCHOOL LETTER (15)

PACKED LUNCH REMINDER FOR WEDNESDAY - PARENT CONSULTATION DAY
Please can we remind parents to provide a packed lunch for their child/ren this Wednesday as the hall will be in use for Parent Consultations and we cannot, therefore, provide school dinners this day.

ONE CHRISTMAS
We now have the ‘One Christmas’ CDs for sale at the school office. They are priced at £10 each, with all profits going to the charity Tearfund. Cheques should be payable to “Christmas Charity Album”.
For those families with children in the concert - don’t forget to book your tickets for Sunday 7 December from the Felixstowe Spa Pavillion box office 01394 282 126

MATCH CARDS
Unfortunately, due to some incidences of cards being ‘taken without consent’, we feel that these will now need to be banned from school with immediate effect.

THE GIVING MACHINE
Just a reminder from the Friends about this website which, once you have registered, you can use to do internet shopping at many online stores. The online stores then give a % of your purchase price directly to our school (as your selected charity) – it does not cost you anything and the school benefits directly. The Friends ask that you perhaps consider using this when doing your Christmas shopping online. www.TheGivingMachine.co.uk. Thank you.

REMINDER - BAD WEATHER ARRANGEMENTSWe make every possible effort to ensure that the school remains open in the event of bad weather conditions. Please listen to the following radio stations for information with regard to whether the school has to be closed or not:
· Radio Suffolk 95.5, 95.9, 103.9 and 104.6FM (have updates at 10 past and 20 to each hour)
· Broadland Norfolk 102.4FM
· SGR FM 97.1-96.4FM
· Beach Radio 103.4 and 97.4FM

NON-UNIFORM DAY – DONATIONS FOR SCHOOL CHRISTMAS FAIR – Friday 28 November
Please remember it is Non-Uniform Day this Friday, 28 November. Please bring in donations for the Christmas Fair - eg adult or children’s Raffle Prizes, adult, children’s or chocolate Tombola prize, men’s and ladies NEW items for the ‘Parent Presents’ stall, a Promise to Bake a Cake (to be delivered to school 5 December), Toys in excellent condition (please - no missing pieces from jigsaws etc), Books. Please leave donations in the boxes by the hall, but bring any alcohol or cake promises to the office. Thank you.

CHRISTMAS LUNCH – WEDNESDAY 17 DECEMBER 2008
In past years children have asked for a vegetarian meal on Christmas dinner day even though they aren’t vegetarians. If your child would like to try the vegetarian option and this year it is the same as last year - chick pea Wellington which is a pastry dish - please complete the slip overleaf by Friday 28 November.

SCHOOL CHRISTMAS POST
The school’s post box will be open for deliveries from Monday 1 December and is sited at the top of the stairs from the Nursery on the landing.
