Mrs Windram is very interested in finding out which clubs and sports groups children attend. We would be grateful if you could write down / email details of clubs including organisers contact name and telephone and send them into school. Thank you

LEGO DAY 12th & 13th NOVEMBER

Unfortunately we have had a poor response to the letter regarding the Lego Day. The school will make a decision on 6th November whether the day is still viable. If you haven’t replied yet please can you do so by this date.

Lost the letter? - Replacements letters are available in the school office

YEAR 6 ALERT

A reminder that the parents only meeting for Conway is on Thursday 6th November at 7.00 p.m. in Mrs Peer’s classroom. All places should have been paid for in full by this date.

THE GAMBIA

In Term 2, Year 6 will be co-ordinating the “Christmas shoeboxes” appeal for the Gambia. However, the holiday may be a good opportunity to begin collecting things to go in the boxes.

Suggestions:

T shirts

Underwear

Socks

Small toys

Cuddly toy

Paper, pencils, crayons

Soap

Toothbrush/paste

Flannel

 

Mrs Peer has some shoeboxes and will put them in the office after the holiday.

FIRST DISTRICT CROSS COUNTRY RACE

Can parents please ensure that children taking part in the first race at KLB on Saturday 8th Nov arrive by 9:40 at the sports field .  This will enable the children to warm up and be issued with their race numbers and racing vests.  It is suggested that children wear a plain tee shirt and put their racing vest over the top as it can be quite chilly at KLB this time of the year.  Mo Kane and Nicola Derrick will be there to meet everyone. The first race which is normally the Girls race for Years 3 and 4 will begin at 10:00.  Please note that no spikes are to be worn at this years events as some of the course will be on tarmac. 

Many thanks,  

Mo

AND FINALLY…..

Thank you all for your hard work and support in this first term. Have a great (and safe!) break and I look forward to seeing you all again on Thursday 6th November
