MRS DWYER
Mrs Dwyer is delighted to inform parents that she is expecting a baby; her due date is the end of July. Mrs Lord will take on the class full time towards the end of the summer term when Mrs Dwyer starts her maternity leave.
YOUNG ART EAST ANGLIA
This annual art competition, to be exhibited at the Peter Pears Gallery in Aldeburgh on 12 – 14 March, was entered by a number of pupils from our school. We are delighted to let you know that 4 pupils have been selected to have their work exhibited Billy Caiger, Ella Way, Annie Miller and Nathan Grant (who has also been awarded ‘Highly Commended’ in the Year 5/6 category). The exhibition is open to all and the entrance fee (for adults) goes to Cancer Research.
MORNINGS
We again must remind parents not to leave your children unaccompanied in the playground before 8.30am. There is no supervision and your children are at risk if you leave them before this time.
SCHOLASTIC LEAFLET ORDERS – CHEQUE PAYMENTS
Please can we remind you that all cheques for these book orders must be payable to ‘SCHOLASTIC’, NOT to the school. This is completely separate the the Book Fair and orange slip on the previous letter. Thank you.
SHARE OUR WORK – WEDNESDAY 17 MARCH 3.15pm to 4.00pm
We would like to invite parents into the classrooms at the end of the day where their children will show them their trays and discuss their work with you. Teachers will be available for general help and advice but it is not intended that this be an opportunity to discuss your child’s progress in detail. If you wish to make an appointment for another time, please speak with the teacher. If you have more than one child in the school, you may wish to visit each class with the other siblings so that you can enjoy looking at each other’s tray together. The Nursery children will not be taking part in this.
Could we ask bus parents to please make it quite clear to their children if they are to travel home on the bus or not on this day? There will be no Maypole or Holy Horrors on this day.
SUMMER DRESSES AND OTHER UNIFORM
We have some girls’ excellent quality second hand school summer dresses for sale in all sizes. They will be available outside the School Office on Wednesday 17 March (Share our Work Day) until Friday 19 March. They can be purchased for a donation to the school. We will gladly receive any dresses that are found to be too small this year – come and do a swap! Other uniform is also available.
Donations of girls’ grey tights and small boys’ trousers would be welcomed for spares at the office.
MUMS TO LUNCH – WEDS 10 / MON 15 MARCH
We have had an overwhelming response to this, and are unable to accept any late orders. We have had to split both days into 2 sessions: 12.00pm for child’s surname A-H and 12.25pm for I-Z. Letters have been sent home to those who have booked a lunch confirming these details – please speak to the office if you have any queries
