Junior - Weekly email - Friday 29th November

Dear Parents / Carers

We hope that Year 5 and 6 enjoyed their trips to the library this week - it was lovely to see Mrs Peal there on Tuesday afternoon.

Congratulations to the drumming students for a great assembly this afternoon.

School Council Meeting - on Wednesday we had a School Council meeting in school - meeting minutes are here

Hour of Code - during the last week of term children will be taking part in the Hour of Code and there are some amazing activities. There are quite a few free sites that children can explore at home (please note that there are some paid for add-ons but the main sites are free to access). Link to resources - https://hourofcode.com/us/learn

Year 3 - In Literacy, Year 3 are designing and making their own 'Tin Forest' in a shoe box. If you have a spare shoe box floating around please can you send it in with your child. Also if you can spare a little bit of tin foil that would be great. We have some but any extra would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Miss Payne and Ms Preston

Year 3 - Egyptian Day will take place on Thursday 12th December. Many thanks for your donations for this workshop by Portals to the Past. We still have a slight shortfall for this workshop. If any Year 3 parents have not yet made a contribution and are able to do so that would be very much appreciated. Payment item is Year 3 Egyptian Workshop 2024

CSG Village Lights - the Village Lights will be switched on this weekend Saturday 30th November- details here

Panto - many thanks for your generous donations towards the cost of the M&M Productions pantomime. We hope that the children enjoy seeing Beauty and the Beast on Wednesday morning.

Christmas post - The Junior School Christmas Post Service will open next week for children to send cards to their friends in school. Please can the recipient child's full name and class be written on the envelope. We ask that no chocolate coins or sweets of any sort are included with the cards because of allergies. Many thanks.

Library volunteers - now that the school library is up and running, we would like to open it up at lunchtimes for the children to use and enjoy. We would be really grateful for any volunteers (with a current school DBS) who may be able to give up 30 mins of their time each week to open the library and to check books in and out. We would like to be able to open the library between 12:50 and 1:15pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please contact the office if you would be interested in this role. Mrs Franklin

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.

Surplus Exercise Books - we have some exercise books that are surplus to requirement. If you would like some, there are some outside the office under the table - blue covers with small 5mm squares - please help yourself or ask at the office.
