Well done to all the children who competed in the Area Sports at Bomere Heath on Tuesday morning.  Thankfully the rain held off and we witnessed some fantastic achievements – well done to the girls’ relay team who made it through to the final.

Spaghetti Maths

Please could you let the Office staff know as soon as possible if you would like your child to sign up to the next block of Spaghetti Maths sessions.  Depending on who is interested, we will then decide when to run the next block and Jonny can decide the content of the sessions i.e. whether to rerun the current sessions or deliver ‘new’ sessions.

Data Collection Sheets

Next week we will be sending home children’s end-of-year reports including the data collection sheets.  Please can you check that the information on the data collection sheet is correct, amend as required and return to the school office as soon as possible.  Thank you.

We have had a couple of reports of head lice so please could we ask that you check your child’s hair and treat as required.  If you are unsure of current treatments, please speak to Mrs Jones or Mrs Neal at the school office.  Thank you in advance for your support.

Sports Day Thank Yous

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who came along to support the children at Sports Day today.  We couldn’t have asked for better weather and the children’s effort and sportsmanship was a credit to them all.

Thank you to everyone in FOBs for providing refreshments throughout the day especially the bacon rolls which were delicious! Thank you also to the Year 6s who helped during both events and to Doug for taking on the role of photographer for us this afternoon.

Hopefully the children will sleep well this evening – the staff certainly will!

Sports Day- Tuesday 21st June 2016

Just a reminder that next Tuesday 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.  Our reserve date is still Thursday 23rd June.

The kitchen will be serving a picnic-style lunch consisting of pizza (vegetarian option available), hot-dog, chips/pasta, a cookie 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.

Parent Surveys

Thank you for the parent surveys returned so far.  If you have not returned your survey and you would still like to make comments, please can you do so by next Thursday.

Hoodies

The order for the Year 6 Leavers’ hoodies will be placed early next week so all orders and payment need to be returned as soon as possible.

Brass Extravaganza

If there are any Year 5/6 children who would like to perform at the Brass Extravaganza on Monday 4th July and have not returned their permission slip, please can they do so as soon as possible as we have to confirm numbers by next Friday.

Tempest and Scholastic

Any Tempest orders for school photographs or Scholastic book orders need to be returned by the end of next week.
