The Friends AGM will be held on the morning of Wednesday 21 November in the hall from 9.00 to 9.30am. Parents are very welcome to come into the hall earlier, from 8.40am for refreshments. It is essential that the Friends get as many parents attending as possible, in order to adhere to the voting procedures of the Charity Commission.
Please show your support of the school by giving half an hour of your time to attend ~ it does not mean you have to join the Friends! Pre-school siblings are welcome with you.

CHRISTMAS SHOEBOX APPEAL – THANK YOU
Thank you to everyone who filled a shoebox for the Samaritans Purse appeal – we have received 54 to be sent off which is fantastic!
SEVERE WEATHER ARRANGEMENTS
We make every possible effort to ensure that the school remains open, but many of the staff live a long way away which involves difficult cross country journeys. In the event of bad weather conditions, please listen to the radio 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 - 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

SHARE SESSION REMINDER – CLASS EM
Class EM’s share session will be on Thursday at 1.20pm.
DANGEROUS PARKING
Some parents who are dropping off / picking up their children from Vyces Road, have been pulling up and parking on the double yellow lines in the turning off College Road. This is dangerous and causes safety concerns when pupils are trying to cross Vyces Road to get to the crossing patrol and are getting caught up in other cars trying to overtake the parked cars.
Please can we ask parents to park safely and legally and not cause a danger to the public.
DIARY DATES – CAROL SERVICE CORRECTION
We would like to clarify that the Carol Service on Thursday 20 December is for classes KV, RV and PLDD. Parents of these classes are welcome to come along.
CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS – Foundation & Key Stage 1
We are changing the format to our Christmas performances, instead of traditional Nativity plays Key Stage 1 will be performing a ‘Christmas Celebration’ on the 11 & 12 December in the school hall from 10.30am, for which a letter will follow to book seats.
Foundation will be having ‘Christmas at the Church’ at St Michaels Church on Wednesday 12 December from 9.30am, where Reception and Nursery parents are invited to come and listen to the children sing Christmas songs and enjoy a hot drink and refreshments. There will be no need to book for this, parents should just turn up on the day.
