STAFF NEWS

On Tuesday afternoon we received news that Mrs Noall‘s baby had arrived. Benjamin Noall weighed 7lb 6oz. Mum and baby are doing well. Congratulations to the Noall family and their new addition!

PLAY AREA BARK RAKING 

Thanks to all the volunteers who gave their time on Friday and Saturday to work upon the adventure playground surface. It was an incredibly hard job that without the help of so many volunteers would have taken hours and caused lots of blisters!

Thank you from The Friends

What a team we are! good job, well done and thank you to everyone who helped with the bark on Friday and Saturday last week.  With so many people involved the task was finished by 11am Saturday morning. The adventure play area is now looking super spruced and ready for inspection.  Thank you again.

MUFTI DAY

Thank you for all your MUFTI DAY donations to help with our May Fair

CAREERS DAY – 22ND MAY

Thank you to all who have volunteered to talk to our children on Careers Day. I will send out a letter to all volunteers giving you more details next week.

DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH STONE WALLS?

The school has plans to widen the pedestrian gate to ease the bottleneck it creates. We are looking for people who have experience of working with stone walls. If you are able to assist us in any way please let the office or Debbie Riddle know.

Thanks

MAY FAIR - SATURDAY 9TH MAY 12:00 – 3:00

This years May Fair is approaching! We will again be having many attractions including: music and disco by The Riff Toads; country dancing by the children, rides, bouncy castle, stalls, tombola, games, craft room, military vehicles, fair ground organ, BBQ and refreshments and much, much more

We look forward to seeing you there

CROSSING CONCERNS

I am a little concerned about the bad habits a number of children are picking up whilst Wotton Road has been closed. Quite a few staff have told me about children running across the road before and after school without looking or using the crossing. I understand that the road is quieter at the moment but cars are still using this section and when the road re-opens I hope that these bad habits will stop.

DRAWING CLUB

There will be no drawing club on Monday due to the bank holiday; club will meet again on Monday 11th May.

MAY BANK HOLIDAY

Don’t forget that the school will be closed on Monday for the bank holiday! (Is that the sound of cheering children I hear?)

Tickets for this fabulous event will be on sale after school on Tuesday 5 May. At £3.50, including a "Phil Barnes" curry they are great value so please, if you can, come along and support the Tennis Club and Memorial Hall in their fundraising efforts.
