The Corbet Diamond Festival

We hope to see some of the children at The Corbet on Saturday afternoon, where the local primary schools will be singing together – the children sounded amazing this week in assemblies when they practised the song!

Class 3 Parents’ Lunch

Class 3 children are looking forward to parents and guardians joining us for lunch next week – we hope you can join us.

New Parent Governor

We would like to welcome Mr Louis Southin as our new parent governor.

Head lice

We are aware that there are cases of head lice in school again. Please could we ask you to check your child’s/children’s hair and treat as required.  Long hair should be tied up or back. Thank for your cooperation with this.

N-CAT Research Study – Years 3 to 6

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.

Gardening Party Saturday 13th May

Are you free for a few hours on Saturday 13th May?  If so, we would love you to join us at our next ‘all hands on deck’ gardening party!

We still have lots of planting to do, fences to be painted and 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 13th May, please could you sign the contact list in reception or speak to myself or one of the FOBS committee.  We would like to know who is coming so we can prepare the tasks and organise refreshments.

Even if you weren’t able to join us at our previous gardening day a few weeks ago, you may remember seeing the photos on the website and it really was a fantastic and very productive day for all those involved. We are hoping that this next event will help us finish as much as possible in the wildlife garden so that the children can start to enjoy it!

Thank you in advance for your support.

Weekly News 28.04.17

We’ve had a fantastic first week of term and the children have settled back into school quickly.  Welcome to George and Bella who have joined Classes 4 and 2 – we can see that they have already started to make friends and are sure that they are going to be very happy in our school.

Sainsbury’s Active Kids Vouchers

We are still collecting the Sainsbury’s Active Kids vouchers, if you have any at home.

Condover Trip – Lost Property

If your child brought anything home in their bag/suitcase by mistake that does not belong to them, please could you leave it at the school office. A Year 3 child mislaid an electric toothbrush and a water bottle.

Year 3/4 Swimming

As it is a bit of a rush trying to get back to school for the end of the day after swimming, it would be a great help if children could bring flip flops or slip-on shoes to wear for coming back to school. This will save a lot of time if children do not have to put on socks/tights and shoes at the end of the session. Thank you in advance for your support.

Year 6 SATs Booster – change of day

Year 6 SATS booster next week will be on Tuesday 2nd May due to the Bank Holiday. During SATs week, booster will revert to Monday and we will run a second session during SATS week if possible.

Clubs

Thank you for the positive response to the changes to clubs. Please could you ensure that all monies are in a sealed envelope labelled clearly with your child’s name, the amount and which club(s) the monies are for.  Ideally, monies should be sent in at the start of the week.

Hope you all have a good Bank Holiday weekend – see you on Tuesday!

Years 3 – 6 Research study

Get Involved in a National Research Study!
 
Our school is taking part in a national research study about child anxiety funded by the National Institute for Health Research.  We are hoping as many families as possible with children in Years 3 – 6 will get involved.  The research team from the University of Reading are really keen for a broad range of families to take part, including those with children who are confident, those who are anxious and those in between.   We are sending home information about the research study, together with some short questionnaires.  You can also find out more about the research, agree to take part and complete the short questionnaires here: 
 
As a way of saying thank you, the University of Reading will provide our school with £1 for each complete set of returned questionnaires (parent, child, teacher) – so it’d be great to get as many families involved as possible!
