Dear Parents/Carers,

Children are invited to come to school dressed as an exciting word. As always, dressing up is optional, and your child can wear their school uniform if they would prefer not to dress up.
 
Weekly Attendance
We will continue to monitor attendance this term and this week's attendance was 96.9%, year to date 94.6%. We are aiming for an average of 96% this year.

PTA Update
  • The PTA has transferred £24k to the school to support various enrichment activities in the budget. We will share more details on this on Classlist soon. But thank you to everyone who has helped with our fundraising to date.
  • Keepsake Tea Towels - we have launched these for Mother's Day - but they are for anyone, anytime... They have wobbly self portraits from all the children and they will be assembled into year groups for memories to keep for years! Purchase on classlist
  • World Book Day - we need some help. If you can help in the cafe before school, to set out books for the children after drop-off, or in the playground at pick up please join the WhatsApp group. But if we don't get some more Cafe volunteers we will have to cancel it.
    • Cafe - we're hoping (with volunteers) to run our usual fun cafe in the morning (08.00 - 08.55). This will be open for breakfast items and treats!
    • Wonka Bars - a chance to win a Golden Ticket! (Prize list on classlist soon) first come first served! Being sold at Cafe then any remaining in Playground
    • Books - each child will have a chance to select a preloved book for a 50p donation during school time when they visit with their class. Any books remaining will be for sale in the playground at pick up.
