WHOLE SCHOOL LETTER (39)

SCHOOL BOOK AMNESTY
We know it happens to everyone; books fall down the side of the bed, get lost in the bookshelf, or just magically disappear for 3 months and then reappear again… so we will be leaving a box on the table outside the hall for children to return any school books that have been found at home. The box will be there until the end of term. Thank you.

SUMMER FETE – Friday 3 July
We hope you will all make the Summer Fete this Friday from 6pm-8pm on the playing field. PLEASE can we remind parents NOT to park in Coucy Close, but to use the Elms Car Park or back playground.
If you are able to offer any help for the summer fete the Friends would really appreciate it. It would be especially helpful if parents can assist to clear away at the end (eg clearing the field, taking empties to bottle bank, taking chairs back to school etc).
If you are able to offer any time at all on this day please contact Karen Debenham 01728 638938 or email Karen.debenham@btinternet.com or turn up on the day to help. Thank you.

FRUIT AND VEG ‘BRING AND BUY’ AT THE SUMMER FETE
The Eco Council at school are keen to run a Fruit and Veg ‘Bring and Buy’ stall; so if you have any surplus fruit or vegetables from your garden or allotment then they would be really pleased if you would bring them along at 6pm to be sold. Thank you.

PUPIL REPORTS
The end of year reports about your children will be out shortly - Year 1 to Year 5 on 10 July, and Year 6 on 3 July (assuming that all SATs results have come back).
There are no reports for Foundation children as they are having parent consultations.
The reports are confidential and are personally addressed to you as parents. We would ask that you ask your children not to open the reports before they get home.

CLASS PHOTOS ORDER DEADLINE – Monday 6 July
May we remind parents that orders should be returned to school by Monday 6 July at the latest. Any orders after this date will need to be sent direct by parents to the photographers and will incur a £2 surcharge for separate return delivery. For your information we will not be using this company again.

LEAVERS’ SERVICE – Thursday 16 July at 1.30pm
Our Leavers’ Service will be held at St Michael’s Church on Thursday 16 July at 1.30pm. Year 6 parents are warmly welcomed to this event. Pupils in Key Stage 2 will attend this service and they will be joined by any Key Stage 1 siblings of Year 6 children. Parents are welcome to take their children home from the church although they may have to return to school to collect their belongings.
Parents who wish to purchase a book to donate to the school may do so at the end of the service if they have not already done so by this date.

SIZE OF SCHOOL BAGS
If you are buying a new school bag for September please could I remind you of the limited space we have on the pegs in school and ask that you consider buying a small bag – drawstring/triangular bags are the best.
