NEW CURRICULUM KITCHEN
LAUNCH
We are delighted that the
launch of our New Curriculum Kitchen was a great success on Friday. Invited members of the local press,
Governors, Diocese (who funded the project) and the Hitcham’s Trust (who are
funding ingredients for this year’s Food Technology lessons), watched as the
brilliant local chef Peter Harrison did a fabulous cookery demonstration with a
small group of pupils – making homemade ravioli & sauce and pizza. This was followed by the formal opening of
the recently covered lunchtime courtyard, where the children & guests
tucked into the delicious food!
We thank Peter for giving
us his time and for providing all the ingredients for the event.
Please keep an eye on the
local press, including the Suffolk
Magazine and the Today Magazine for articles that they should be
publishing. Of course, there are photos
on the school BLOG too.
SPECIAL MENUS – YEAR 3’s
FAVOURITE CHOICE
The
whole school will be able to enjoy the menu chosen by Year 3
(which
will replace the normal choice for that day) on Tuesday 3 February.
The
menu with the most votes is Pizza with Garlic Bread and Sweetcorn, followed by
Chocolate Crunch and Sauce.
The
children also volunteered a few new menu ideas which Mrs Chapman will follow up
with EATs Catering.
An
EATs catering nutritionist will be doing some taste-testing with the children with
some of the EATs new menu ideas in the hall this Friday lunchtime.
PARENT PARKING - DO NOT PARK ANYWHERE ON THE SCHOOL DRIVE OR USE
IT AS A TURNING AREA – YOU ARE CAUSING A DANGER TO OTHER CHILDREN
& PARENTS.
There is no reason that
parents should have to park anywhere on the school drive, either in front of
the gates or in the staff car park.
·
If you are late with your child, you should
still find a safe place to park and then walk up to sign your child in at the
office.
·
If you are collecting from a club you should not
use the staff car park, but should park in the Elms car park.
·
We have had strong complaints from a few parents
about others who park on the school drive or on double yellow lines or have just
blocked New Road who are causing a danger to others.
We have reported these incidents
to the police.
NEW SAFETY BANNER ON
COLLEGE ROAD
Because of the failure of a
few parents to abide by safe and legal parking, with the support of the Junior
Road Officers at school we have now put up a large banner on the railings on
College Road opposite Vyces Road, where we have had a number of dangerous
situations in the past.
THANK YOU TO ALL THE CONSIDERATE
PARKERS WE HAVE AMONGST OUR PARENTS.
NEW LOST PROPERTY LOCATION
With some of the funds
raised from the recent uniform sale, we have purchased a new dedicated lost
property module that is now located near
the office.
If your child is missing
any items, please ask at the office who will direct you to the new location to
have a search!

it appears that we are still missing over 100 books that should have been
returned to them. PLEASE CAN WE ASK YOU
ALL TO HAVE A HUNT AT HOME for any books with the Suffolk Schools Library
