FOBS AGM 23.06.17

Dear parents and guardians,
As you know, FOBS AGM is next Friday 23rd June at 1.30 pm at the school. This is when the new committee is elected for the following year. Usually most of the committee members are reelected every year however this year we have several vacancies to be filled. At the moment we are in urgent need of finding parents willing to take on the role of Chair. Unfortunately our constitution doesn’t allow us to operate without a Chair. Therefore it is really important for FOBS and indeed the school to find someone who would like to volunteer for this role otherwise FOBS won’t be able to continue.
I have been the Chair of FOBS for nearly four years and yes, the role needs a certain degree of commitment, but in my experience it is really rewarding, good fun and I’d like to think I am leaving having made great friendships and made a difference.
If you would be interested in knowing more about the role please get in contact with me.
Kind regards
Marina Turmo-Luengo
Chair

Gardening Day – Thank You

A big thank you to everyone who helped at the gardening day on Saturday.  The samba drums (purchased with some of the funds raised from the Mini Marathon) were installed, most of the bark paths were laid and a general tidy up was had so that most of the wildlife garden can now be used by the children during the school day.  Lots more painting was done as well, until the showers arrived late afternoon!

We found time during the day for everyone to look in the new eco-room and it definitely got the ‘wow’ reaction that we had hoped for! All classes will start to use the room over the next couple of weeks for Science and Design and Technology.

Another working party is planned for Saturday 24th June, which will probably be our final gardening day, and then the whole area will be finished and everything will be ready to use. We hope you can spare a couple of hours to come along and thank you to Graham, the FOBS ladies and other parents who have already offered their time.  We then just have to find a date for the official opening!

Gardening Party Saturday 10th June

Can you spare a few hours this weekend on Saturday 10th June? If so, we would love you to join us at our next gardening party.

We still have lots of fences to be painted (weather-permitting) and some of the play equipment to be reinstalled, as well as plenty of other jobs, so your help is much needed. If you would like to take part in the event on 10th June, please could you sign the contact list in reception or speak to myself or Catherine Orrell.  We are not sure yet if there will be refreshments, as we know that several of the FOBS ladies are unavailable on Saturday, but we will let you know later in the week.

Our aim is to finish as much as possible this weekend so that the children can start to enjoy the wildlife garden before the end of term!

Thank you in advance for your support.

We are expecting a representative from Reading University in school next Thursday to meet with the children for whom we have received completed surveys and parental permission forms.  If you would still like your child to take part, please return the survey and permission form by Tuesday 23rd. We still have a few surveys at the school office if you have mislaid the original information pack.

Class 4 Visit to Liverpool

Please can all remaining permission slips and outstanding contributions be returned by Tuesday 23rd. We rely on parents’ voluntary contributions towards trips such as this and without them School does not have the funds available to arrange class visits.

Gardening Day – THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone who came along and helped at the gardening day on Saturday.  It was a fantastic day and, thanks to all the groundwork, gardening and painting that was done, the wildlife garden is really taking shape.  One more day should do it!

Thank you to FOBs for serving refreshments throughout the day, to the Co-op for their generous donations and to people who brought along cakes and snacks to keep everyone going.
