Whole School Letter (28)

WORLD BOOK DAY – SCHOLASTIC BOOK LEAFLET
There will be NO Travelling Book Fair this year due to space and management issues with it over previous years. Instead we are sending out Scholastic Book leaflets to all children today, for which you can use the World Book Day £1 tokens to reduce the price of your order. Please remember we CANNOT accept cash for book orders. Please pay by cheque, payable to ‘Scholastic Ltd’ or fill in the credit card details on the order form. The deadline for returning orders is Friday 11 March – don’t forget to include the Book token in the envelope with your order and payment.

WORLD BOOK DAY BOOK TOKENS
World Book Day Ltd has issued £1 book tokens to each child in the school which are enclosed with this letter. They can be redeemed with the Scholastic leaflet (above) or at any bookshop participating in the promotion and are valid from Monday 28 February to Sunday 27 March 2011.

SHARE SESSION REMINDER - Wednesday 2 March
Class GH are having their Share Session this Wednesday, 2 March, from 1.20pm – 3.00pm.

MID-YEAR REPORTS – Friday 4 March
Mid-year reports for pupils in Years 1 – 6 will be sent home this Friday. They are addressed to you as parents, and we ask that the children do not open them before they give them to you. We have changed the reports this year; you will notice a different layout and a change to the marking. In light of this change we would appreciate parents adding any comments to the reply slip contained within the report envelope.

YOUNG ART EAST ANGLIA – Friday 11 – Sunday 13 March
We are delighted to announce that 4 pupils’ art work has been selected to be displayed at Aldeburgh’s Peter Pears Gallery.

Everyone is welcome to visit the gallery to look at the exhibition on Friday 1pm – 5.30pm, Saturday 12pm – 5.30pm and Sunday 10am – 4pm. Adult entrance fee £2 to the charity, children free.

RED NOSE DAY – Friday 18 March
As in previous years we will be selling Red Noses at the office – there is a choice of designs, all at £1. We have enough for all children plus a few spare. They will be on sale from Monday 7 March until Wednesday 16 March. The children may only wear the Red Noses at school on Friday 18 March, so please keep them at home until then.
