ONE CHRISTMAS
Thank you to everyone for their support of the One Christmas project. £35,000 was raised for ‘Tearfund’. Over 3500 CDs and DVDs were sold in Suffolk and 4000 people attended the 7 concerts. This was a great achievement that was supported by 200 volunteers and 40 Suffolk schools.
FRIENDSHIP DAY
We are pleased to let you know that we raised £255 on Friday which we will be sending to the NSPCC.
ROAD SAFETY DVD - COVER AND TITLE COMPETITION
There were some lovely entries for this competition, well done to all who contributed. The picture selected to go on the cover of the DVD was by Molly Howard, and the title chosen was thought up by Kimberley Broadhurst ‘The Road Code’, with an additional slogan by Sammy Grant ‘Don’t be Silly, be Safe!’ Prizes will be on the way. We hope to have the DVD completed shortly for the children to view in school.
ESSENTIAL GUIDES FOR PARENTS
We have purchased a set of ‘Need-2-Know’ guides for parents, giving information, support and advice on a range of circumstances that may affect your child and family. The titles in the series are:
ADHD; Child Obesity; Dyslexia; Bullying; Special Education Needs; Divorce and Separation.
If you wish to borrow any of these titles, they can be found in the rack between Class CH and Nursery. Please sign them out/in on the list attached to the rack.
AFTER-SCHOOL COLLECTIONS
Please can we remind parents to avoid last minute phone calls about after school collection changes for their children. Wherever possible, please plan in advance to tell the teacher in the morning or ring earlier in the day. It can be difficult for the office staff to get messages to several teachers at 3pm about who the children are going home with, especially if they are in assembly. Thank you.
BINGO REMINDER – FRIDAY 30 JANUARY
The Friends still have tickets for this Fridays Bingo Night. It is a great evening that children of all ages can enjoy – with lots of prizes to be won. Any donations of tray-bakes for refreshments will be gratefully received. Thank you.
FREE TO A GOOD HOME
We have some pale green upholstered chairs from our old staff room; they are going free (or for a donation if you wish). They need to be removed by Friday 30 January; else we will dispose of them.
NURSERY PARENTS
For their own safety, please can we ask parents not to let Nursery children and their siblings play on the stairs next to the nursery entrance in the morning. Your co-operation is appreciated, thank you.
