Junior - Weekly email - Friday 7th February

Dear Parents / Carers,
 
We hope that Year 6 enjoyed their trip to the Warner Studios on Tuesday to learn about the making of the Harry Potter films. Thank you to the parent helpers. 
 
A big thank you to the Year 5 parents who are helping year 5 with their cooking and food prep DT lessons this week and next. 
 
Disco this evening - we hope that everyone enjoys the disco this evening. Due to the traffic we will be opening the Hillside and Lagger gates for drop off and pick up for the Disco. However, you must still drop your child at the main school entrance to be signed in and picked up. Do not enter the dining hall through the fire exit doors, only use the main entrance. DISCO times are 5:30pm to 7pm and more details are on Classlist. Please remember that children should not have phones with them during the disco.
 
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 have been emailed out to parents this afternoon - 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.
