Parent/Guardian Surveys

Thank you if you have already returned your parent survey and for the positive comments and suggestions made. Your views are very important to us and help us to plan for the forthcoming year. Please could all surveys be returned by Friday 23rd June so that we can collate and publish the results the following week.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Sports Day

We are looking forward to Sports Day next week and warm weather is forecast so children will need to bring a hat and drink.  If you are having trouble finding the correct colour t-shirt for your child to wear, please speak to a member of staff and we will sort something out for them as we have done in previous years.  If you would like school to provide your child with sun cream, please return the permission slip if you have not already done so.

Football Club – Classes 1 and 2

From next Thursday 22nd June until the end of term, there will be football club for children in Class 1 and 2 from 3:15 to 4:30. This will not show on the clubs list until Monday. We are grateful to Alfie W’s dad for offering to run the club and a member of staff will also be present.

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

Sports Day – Wednesday 21st June

Just a reminder that next Wednesday is our Sports Day, providing it does not rain! Should the grass be too wet, we will make the decision to cancel as early as we can and send out a tweet/put a post on the website.  Fingers crossed we will still be able to go ahead so children will need to bring a drink and sunhat and remember to wear/bring to school their coloured t-shirt. Children will be told which team they are in and which coloured t-shirt they will need this week. Our reserve date is still Wednesday 5th July.

The kitchen will be serving a picnic-style lunch consisting of pizza (vegetarian option available), hot-dog, chips/pasta, a cookie/muffin and a bottle of water. You are more than welcome to bring your own packed lunch and join us. Please could we remind people to use the village hall car park and not block Bicton Lane.  Thank you.

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.
