HANDWRITING PENS Please can we remind parents that Key Stage 2 pupils should have a BLUE handwriting pen in their pencil case. We recommend gel pens as these flow easily, where as biros can impede your child’s handwriting. We recommend you label the pen with your child’s name. Gel pens can be purchased from any stationers or the office have now secured a new source which are available at a great price of 50p each.
VYCES ROAD CLOSED Just to give parents advance notice: Vyces Road (opposite the school entrance on College Road) will be closed from 8 May for 36 days. This will cause congestion on College Road especially when the buses are dropping off / collecting. Please can we ask drivers to be considerate of the crossing patrol during this period too. Thank you.
REMINDER NO CHOIR UNTIL 31 MAY Please can we remind parents that Key Stage 2 choir is not running again until Thursday 31 May, thank you.
ART PROJECT VOLUNTEER HELPERS REQUIRED – Thursday 10 May The Year 4 children in class EM will be involved in a one day sculpture project at the end of May (see below). In preparation for this day some ‘plinths’ need to be made on which to display the sculptures. We are looking for some willing parents who would be able to come into school on Thursday 10 May for an hour or so, to help create these. They will be made from dental plaster mixed with gravel which will be poured into moulds to set. You do not have to be ‘arty’! If you can help, please speak to Miss Montague and Mrs Dwyer.
ART PROJECT DONATIONS OF SUPPLIES STILL NEEDED For the Cathedral Art Project in May, we require a number of art supplies and hoped that families may have some of these items that they would be happy to donate to the project: bamboo garden canes; black emulsion paint; wire coat hangers; polythene sheeting/sheets; old salt and pepper pots; bits of lace. If you are able to donate any, please bring them in by Thursday 10 May. Thank you.
JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS – ADVANCE WARNING – Friday 1 June To celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee we are organising a day of events on Friday 1 June. We would like to give you advance warning that the children will have the opportunity to come to school in either traditional dress which represents any country from the commonwealth or they can dress up in red, white and blue. We would like the children to bring a donation of 50p for dressing up, which will be for charity. More details to follow
BANK HOLIDAY – Monday 7 May Just to remind you all that next Monday is a Bank Holiday. Please note Violin lessons for that week will be held on Friday 11 May.
