REMINDER PHOTOGRAPHS – Wednesday 16 June
This Wednesday Van Cols will be coming to take class and Year 6 photos. Please can you ensure that the children have their sweatshirts with them for the photograph even if it’s a hot day.
SPORTS DAY – Thursday 17 June
· Foundation and Key Stage 1 from 9.30 - 10.30am,
· Key Stage 2 from 10.30 - 11.30am.
After their races the Foundation and KS1 children will watch a few of the KS2 races and then return to school for the rest of the day.
If the weather should be inclement, the reserve day is Monday 21 June at the same times.
Please ensure that your child has their PE kit at school (KS2 need their House tee-shirt) and a sun hat and sun cream are advisable if hot. Children are allowed to wear trainers if they wish.
All children should bring a water bottle (plastic only).
Please do NOT park in Coucy Close – in the first instance park in the Elms car park but if that is full you may park on the back playground.
In the past some of the children got upset when their parents came over to see them and they were then not allowed to go and sit with their parents, please could we ask that parents keep to the opposite side of the track to the children and not come over to speak with them. Also for this reason, we would ask that Nursery children are collected in the usual manner and at the usual time from the Nursery and not taken from the sports field. Thank you for your help in this matter.
If you are able to volunteer help at Sports day please see Mrs Spencer or Mrs Bell.
MENU CHANGES – Tuesday 22 and Thursday 24 June
We are hoping to have a picnic on the field on Thursday 24 June so the children can play on the field. The kitchen will be making lunches that can be taken to the field for those who want a school lunch that day. The roast dinner that week will be served on Tuesday 22 June.
CAKE STALL SUCCESS
The Friends would like to thank all the families of GH & NSJB for their baking at the end of last half term, the cake stall raised a whopping £112. Thank you to everyone for their support
FRIENDS COMMITTEE
The Friends will be holding their AGM in September. They do a tremendous job organising events throughout the year, which raise much-needed funds to support purchases or trips for the children that we would otherwise be unable to do.
There are a few committee members who are stepping down this year, so the Friends would love to hear from any parents who would like to support the school in this way.
Please contact Marie-Therese Walker on 01728 723053 or email mtwalker666@hotmail.com to find out more. The Friends will be more than happy to be asked about their role – so feel free to approach any of them to have a chat.
