Junior - Weekly email - Friday 14th November

Dear Parents / Carers
 
 
We hope that children have enjoyed visiting the book fair this week. Classes have selected their favourite books from the book fair and we will be obtaining copies for the school library. Books that have been ordered should be delivered to school on Monday or Tuesday next week
 
World Diabetes Day - today is World Diabetes Day - details here
 
Weekly Attendance - attendence at the Junior School has been 96.3% this week and this year to date is 95.7%
 
Nearly New Book Sale - On Thursday 4th & Friday 5th December we will be holding a second hand book sale in school. This will be a perfect opportunity for children to buy a reasonably priced Chrristmas present, or pick up a new read for the school holidays. All books will be sold for 50p and all proceeds will go to the school. If you are able, we would like to ask for donations of gently used children's books, books for all ages welcome. These can be brought in until Monday 1st December. We will remind children about the sale closer to the time and the sale will also run after school for parents and carers to attend.  Many thanks in advance for your support,  Mrs Mannick

Lost property - We have a number of items in our lost property box that we would like to return to the owners, we do go through the box once a week and take items that are named to the children. Unfortunately we have a number of items that are not named or the name has become illegible. Please can we ask that all uniform items are labelled clearly (especially jumpers and hoodies) and if you have brought a second hand uniform that you change the name that is on it to your child. If you are unaware the lost property box is located in the dining hall and you can come in and take a look through it if your child has lost an item.

We currently have a Minecraft jacket and a Trespass gilet that have been in the box for a while. Also this week a grey fabric lunch box was left behind after PFO.

The lost property box is cleared at the end of each term and recycled, so please do come and check it before then.
