Junior - Weekly email - Friday 24th November

Dear Parents / Carers
 
Congratulations to the U10s boys football team for their 3-0 win against Robertswood in the U10s cup match this week.
 
After school clubs - the school run after school football clubs have now finished for the term. Netball clubs pick up time is 4:30pm this week and this is the last week for the two netball clubs. Street Dance is still on this Friday (1st December) with usual 4:15pm finish time.  In the Spring term we will have a new set of clubs to sign up to and we will send out details once the clubs have all been confirmed.
 
Beech Class will have a survival session in their swimming lesson on 29th November - please can they bring in their usual swimming kit plus a long sleeved top and long bottoms on that Wednesday - ie. pyjamas or a two piece or a long sleeved t-shirt with long bottoms. Clothing should be easy to take off in the water - not jeans or joggers please as they soak up too much water - plus pack a spare bin bag / carrier bag to put wet clothing in to bring home.  
 
Year 6 Dynasties viewing - next week, year six will be watching some of the BBC programme 'Dynasties' as part of their evolution and inheritance topic. As this is PG, we need parental consent in order for your child to watch this. Thank you to those parents who have given consent. We are still missing a number of consents, which would mean that your child would be unable to view the programme next week. If you are happy to give permission, and have not yet done so, please complete the following google form: https://forms.gle/PS3zGLhmJWZ4gFvm7
 
Email messages - please can you give your child's full name and class when sending in messages to the office. It really helps us to ensure they go to the correct teacher. Thank you
 
Christmas lunch will be served on Wednesday 6th December. Orders to be placed / amended by Monday 27th November please. The menu is available here
 
Christmas post - the CSG Junior School Christmas Post Service will be open from Friday 1st December to Monday 18th December for children to send cards to their friends in school. Please can the recipient child's full name and class be written on the envelope. We ask that no chocolate coins or sweets of any sort are included with the cards. Many thanks
