New Gardening Club Digs In
A new after school club started this week.
Our school has been given a plot on the new community gardens extension to the Framlingham Allottments.
A group of 20 children (of mixed ages) went with Mrs Hopkins and Mrs Eyles plus some parents (Mr Seeley and Mr Duggans) who are involved with the Community Gardens project at Pigs Meadow.
The first session involved some digging up of weeds and planting potatoes.
The children also made some plans for future planting and growing.

WELCOME BACK!
Dear Parents
On behalf of the Staff and Governors I would like to welcome all the pupils back for the summer term. We have some wonderful events planned this term for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the London 2012 Olympics which I am sure the children will enjoy.
DIARY DATES FOR SUMMER TERM
We have produced a separate leaflet with Diary Dates for the rest of this school year. It includes all the assemblies, share sessions, sporting events, Friends events and share sessions for the term. Please also note the section on club start dates and the 2012/2013 calendar.
SUN PROTECTION
Now the summer term has started I wanted to remind you about our Sun Protection policy. The sun’s rays are particularly strong in the summer and they can damage children’s skin, which can sadly lead to skin cancer in later life.
Your child’s health and well-being are very important to us, which is why we:
* spend time learning about the importance of sun protection;
* encourage pupils to wear hats when outside and to use sunscreen;
* encourage pupils to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
More details of these and other sun protection plans can be found in our Sun Protection policy. Of course, your support is very important if we are to make this work.
You can help by:
* talking to your child about the importance of sun protection at home;
* applying a minimum factor 15 sunscreen to your child’s face, neck, arms and legs
(if exposed) before they leave home, in order to safeguard them through the day;
* always sending your child to school in a hat (preferably with a wide brim);
* ensuring your child brings in a water bottle (with a sports cap).
Visit www.wrapsplathat.co.uk for more information and a chance to win a holiday.
COATS
However… as the British weather is so unpredictable can we please ask that children bring a waterproof coat with them as we still like them to go out at break and lunch times even if the weather is a little wet.
MONEY IN SCHOOL
Please note that all money coming into school should be in a sealed envelope, clearly labelled with your child’s name, class, reason for payment and amount. All money should be handed to the class teacher, and dinner money for the week must be handed in on a Monday, thank you.
Cheques must also state your child’s name & class on the reverse please.
DISCO SUCCESS
The sold-out discos at the end of last term were a great success and raised £499.75
The Friends would like to thank all the parents who helped on the night.
END OF LAST TERM CAKE STALL
The Friends are really pleased to let parents know that they raised £137.40, thank you to all who supported this event ~ baking or buying!
BUILDING WORK CONTINUES
Unfortunately, the repair work to the front reception roof has entailed more work than anticipated and it is likely that this entrance will be unusable until half term.
NO SCOOTERS ON PLAYGROUND
Please can we ask that parents do not allow their children to ride scooters on the playground before and after school as there have been a few close accidents recently.
CROSS COUNTRY RESULT
A number of our Y6 & Y5 pupils took part in the inter-schools Cross Country at the end of last term. We are pleased to announce that Jake Seaber won the gold medal for the boys, Grace Berry gained silver and Zoe Hardy gained bronze for the girls, followed in fourth place by Ellie Pitcher. Well done to everyone who took part.
NEW MIDDAY SUPERVISORS
We are pleased to announce that we have 4 new midday supervisors who will join our team. They are Mrs Mayhew, Mrs Freeman, Miss Martin & Mrs Mean-Roberts. We would like to welcome them to the school staff.
WORLINGWORTH CRICKET SIGNING ON DAY
On Sunday 29th April at 10.30am interested pupils (8-11 years) can sign on at Bedfield Little Green for a summer of coaching and games, coaching takes place on Saturday mornings.

NURSERY QUESTIONNAIRE
Parents of children in Year 2, 1, Reception and Nursery have been sent home a questionnaire to help us with research on our Nursery provision. It was sent in a plain brown envelope in your child’s book bag on Thursday. Please can we ask that you take a little time to complete this for us and return it to the school office in the brown envelope by Friday 9 March?
NO HOCKEY CLUB AT PRESENT
Until Mr Brook returns from Jury service we are sorry but there will be no Tuesday after-school Hockey club for year 4 & 5.
NO RUGBY CLUB THIS WEEK ONLY
Mr Vaughan is unable to run Rugby club this week due to another school commitment. It will resume as normal next week.
GRANDPARENTS TO LUNCH – this week
Please let the grandparents know to sign in at the foyer by the school hall at 12.00pm where the children will meet them to take them into lunch. Please note there will be a queue for the meal as there are so many grandparents to get through. Once they have finished the grandparents should sign out before they leave school when the children go out to play.
Any Nursery children NOT booked in to lunch club should be taken home by the grandparent.
YEAR 6 TO HIGH SCHOOL REMINDER – Thursday 8 March
Please remember Y6 pupils will need to bring in a packed lunch on Thursday as they will be spending a day doing DT, Geography & History activities at Thomas Mills High School.
DINNER MONEY
The office are increasingly being handed loose coins and notes over the counter to pay for dinner money. Please can we ask that you hand the dinner money in a named envelope to the class teachers on a Monday morning. If you do not pay for school lunches on a Monday then your child should have packed lunch for that week.
Parents can pay for the half term rather than weekly if they would like – please ask at the office for a ‘pre-pay’ form.
IMPORTANT : NUTS IN LUNCH BOXES
As parents are aware we have a strict NO NUTS policy in school. However, we have found recently on a few occasions pecan nuts thrown away in the food waste bin from a child’s lunch box. We must stress to parents that you should NOT be placing nuts or nut products in your child’s lunchbox as we have children at school with life-threatening nut allergies.
Please can we ask for your full support on this, thank you.
In addition, we will be asking children to not place their lunch box waste (except drink cartons) in the school waste bin but to take it home in their lunch box. We feel it is important that parents are aware how much of their child’s lunch is eaten / leftover.
LUNCHTIME SUPERVISOR VACANCY
We have a vacancy for a lunchtime Supervisor on a regular basis for Thursday lunchtime and relief cover on other days when needed. Full training will be given.
The rate of pay is £6.47 per hour plus holiday pay, the hours are 12.00pm - 1.20pm.
If you are interested please speak to the school office. Thank you.
FREE SCHOOL MEAL APPLICATIONS
It's now quicker and easier to apply for Free School Meals. For the majority of claimants you will no longer need to send proof of your benefits with the application form. Suffolk County Council will check your eligibility against the Government's benefits database and as long as you are in receipt of a qualifying benefit, the provision of Free School Meals will commence. An application form is available from the school or can be downloaded at www.suffolk.gov.uk
MOTHER’S DAY SERVICES – Friday 16 March

We have a vacancy for a teaching assistant for the summer term only, to work in the Reception class for 10 hours per week. Previous experience and relevant level 3 child qualification are an advantage, but not essential.

Children enjoy learning outside in the snow
Children from year 1 and year 6 together on our snow covered school field.
Class CA
Class DB
Aswell as getting some fresh air and exercise, the children carried out a science investigation.
Using data loggers with a special probe they took varoius temperature readings in the air and snow.
This picture below shows Framlingham Castle in the early morning mist.
The Mere is frozen over.
