WALKING BUS

Would anyone out there like to re start our Walking Bus?? We had two in operation a few years ago that took place on Fridays and from what I’ve been told there was quite a bit of fun attached to the journeys! If you ore interested or would just like to find out more contact Judith in the school office. Thank you to Yvonne Kershaw who has volunteered for one.

AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS

Club leaders are concerned that they are not getting notice that some children will be missing an after school club.

On a few occasions the club leader has needed to make phone calls to check the child is safe before they can start the club.

If your child will not be attending a club please could you inform the club leaders verbally or by letter.

ST GEORGES DAY

You should have received a letter this week about our

• Acrostic England Poems

• Locating main English towns & landmarks on maps

• Investigating different English dialects

I hope you can make it and see the wonderful work the children have produced!

PLAY AREA BARK RAKING

On Friday 24th and Saturday 25th of April the friends will be replacing some of the bark (8 M3 of it) and fluffing up the rest. If you have a few hours to spare from after school on 24th and 10.00 on 25th, we would be very appreciative of your help and if you could bring a rake that would be even better. We have to get it super fit for the annual safety inspection on the play equipment and area.

ICE PACKS

Please could you have a look at home to see if you have any school ice packs and covers, as we have NONE in school. We use these regularly for bumps so really need to locate them urgently.
