Dear Parent/Carer,
Scam calls
We have had reports of parents being contacted by an Anti Bullying fundraiser company. Just to clarify that we are not working with any agency that is fundraising for anti-bullying and that any calls as such are not linked to the school.
Mathseeds
Well done to all the children who have logged onto Mathseeds - it is lovely to see how many of you have completed lessons this week.

Christmas Jumper Day in support of Liberty's Legacy - Friday 13th December
On Friday 13th December children may wear a Christmas Jumper or decorate their own jumper for a suggested donation of £1. We will have collection pots in school for cash donations. If anyone would like to know more about this charity or make a donation of £2 or more, Mrs McCarthy (at our Junior School) is fundraising for this charity and her Just Giving page is here
Lost Property
The lost property box in the playground has lots of items in it. Please have a look if you are missing anything. Any items left in the box at the end of term will be given to charity.

Friday 13 December - Christmas Fayre and Santa's Grotto at the Memorial Hall 15.20 - 18.00. We REALLY NEED some stall volunteers to help make it fun. Slots are either 15.10 - 16.35 or 16.30 - 18.00. Please join the volunteer WhatsApp group to let us know your availability. Some are fun/ game stalls that you can do with your children there.
Chalfont St Giles and The Great War
'A new book has been written on Chalfont St Giles and World War One. It describes the Parish, whose borders have changed over the years, between 1900 and 1930 and how the villages of Chalfont St Giles and Jordans were affected by the War. It includes stories of some families and gives details of those who fought and gave medical support to the front line, the casualties and where people lived.
These books are available in the library and are free but the main sponsors asked that we seek a contribution towards an appropriate charity. We will therefore be very grateful if you would donate something for our Memorial Hall, celebrating its Centenary.
Thank you.'
