Junior - Weekly email - Friday 25th April

Dear Parents / Carers,
 
Welcome back to everyone for what looks like being a busy Summer term. 
 
We hope that the children have enjoyed Science Week. Thank you to Miss Shine for organising all of the activities plus the Science Magic Show given by Science Oxford yesterday.
 
Year 5 Astronomy Roadshow - we are looking forward to the Astronomy Roadshow visiting Year 5 next week. We still have a slight shortfall for this event so if you are able to make a donation details are available on ParentMail.
 
Boys football - Year 5 boys played in a Six-a-side football tournament at Robertswood School yesterday and the boys played really well and made it through to the semi final stage. They only scored one goal but only conceded one goal so reached the quarter finals stage. They then won their quarter final match after a penalty shootout but sadly lost their semi final game. Well done to all of the players for a great team performance.
 
Inter House netball - We are very excited to be holding an InterHouse Netball competition in school this term. The Inter House netball tournament that will be held in school during the afternoon on Friday 2nd May. Each house team, made up of Year 5 & 6 children, will play up to three games against the other houses in a league in which the overall points will accumulate and go towards our sports week totals coming up at the end of June. It should be a fun afternoon of good competition between the four houses. All of the classes will have a chance to watch and support their house team during the afternoon.
 
Menu changes - apologies for the lack of notice about changes to desserts this week. We have asked St Josephs to let us know in advance when this is going to happen. They have informed us that on Thursday 1st May there will be a change to dessert - Jammie Dodgers instead of Strawberry Mousse (Jammie Dodgers Allergens Cereals containing Gluten , Sulphur Dioxide). If you would like to change to the Fresh Fruit option please let the office know by Wednesday.
 
Liberty's Legacy fundraiser - you may remember that we raised funds for this charity with our Christmas Jumper day in December. Mrs McCarthy is running the London Marathon this Sunday to raise funds for Liberty's Legacy and her Just Giving page is still live here If you wish to follow her on the London Marathon App her bib number is 36431. The app allows people to see her speed, predicted finish time and location on the course for the duration of the run. We are all sending Mrs McCarthy our very best wishes for Sunday.
 
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.  We have added a few new items recently.
