Newsletter 37

Welcome back to the last half term of the school year. 
We are looking forward to a number of events this term including
the Summer Outings, Sports Day and the Year 6 Camp and
the Year 6 production of Aladdin at Framlingham College.

DADS COMING TO READ BEFORE LUNCH – Tues 10 to Thurs 12 June
On the day dads should sign in at the hall foyer at 11:40am where their children will meet them, there will be a number of allocated areas around the school where dads will be reading with their children, we have some Year 4 children who will help direct dads.
At 12.00pm when the bell rings dads and children should return to the hall for lunch.
DADS COMING TO LUNCH ONLY – Tues 10 to Thurs 12 June
On the day dads should sign in at the hall foyer where their children will come at 12.00pm.
We have 40 dads booked each day, so it will take a while to be served.
We would ask that dads do not stay after they have eaten lunch; at this time the children will go to the playground and we ask that you sign out as you leave.  Thank you.
We would also welcome your feedback on the forms outside the hall when you have finished. 

NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO LUNCH TIME CLUBS DURING ‘DADS TO LUNCH DAYS’ 10-12 JUNE

It was an amazing success with the children really getting into the swing of things – it was fantastic how many items the children thought of to do on the day. 
Do take a look at the BLOG for photos and reports that will be put on over this week.
Everyone has worked very hard to get sponsorship.
