Dear Parents / Carers,
Thank you to the parents who have helped with PE Festivals and cooking this week.
Contributions to the DT Support fund on ParentMail have been used this term to pay for ingredients for Year 5 and Year 6 cooking as well as components for DT items that have been made this term. Thank you.
Music Assembly - thank you to Gio Re, our new visiting music teacher from BMT, for sharing information about brass instruments and lessons in school. Details about how to sign up for lessons have been sent out this week.
Tissues - we are getting through a lot of boxes of tissues at the moment. If you are able to donate some that would be greatly appreciated. Please either hand these to your class teacher or drop off with the office. Many thanks.
Meal ordering - remember to place lunch orders by end of day on Monday 17th February for the week we are back after half term.
Morning gates - a reminder that school gates open at 8:45am in the morning and children should not be dropped off before then unless they are attending a before school club. There is no staff supervision of children until gates open at 8:45am. Thank you
Head lice - we are still seeing some cases of head lice across the school - please remember to check your child's hair regularly and treat it if required. We ask that long hair is tied back. NHS info here. Thank you
New Dance Club - we are delighted that Pips Dance Academy will be starting their new dance club at the Junior School on Friday 28th February. This club is open to all year groups but there are limited numbers - more details on this were sent out on Friday 7th February - club.flyer. Please email Pips Academy to sign children up for this club. The club will run from Friday 28th February to Friday 28th March in the Spring Term.
Our School Amazon Wish List - for any gifts, it is always lovely to know who has donated items so we can thank you properly! The link to the gift list can be found here https://amzn.eu/fVdAqFF. Thank you to the kind parents who sent in gifts recently. These are very much appreciated.
