World Book Day
We will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 5th March. We will be asking children to come into school dressed as their favorite book character.
Easter Lent Collection
At this time every year we encourage the children to think of others and raise money for charity. This year we are going to raise money for 2 different charities, CAFOD and Above and Beyond (local charity raising funds for Bristol city centre hospitals).
We have the following events planned to raise money for our Lent collection:
- Friday 6th March - Penny Trail
- Friday 13th March - Non-Uniform
- Friday 20th March - Funny Hair Day
- Friday 27th March - to be confirmed
Grand Easter Egg Raffle - tickets on sale at 20p each from Monday 2nd March.
Headteacher awards
The Head teacher awards for Monday 2nd March are: Lily B (Rec), Ralf (Y1), Freddie R and Lexi (Y2), Maisie (Y3), Charlotte (Y4), Nicola, Freddie and Jayden (Y5) and Gracie-Mae and Zac (Y6).
Another reminder - Chill Time Klub
The school office is normally manned until 4pm. If there are no staff in the school office, it cannot be guaranteed that the phone or main door buzzer will be answered.
Chill Time ends at 4.30pm.
Multi-Sports and Chill Time Klub
Due to the low number of children attending this term, we will not be running Multi-Sports next term.
However, as so many children attending Chill Time Klub have enjoyed joining Multi-Sports, we will be integrating our specialist sports coaching into Chill Time Klub on Thursdays and Fridays. This means children from any age can choose to join different sporting activities on these days.
Friday Morning Coffee Time
Mrs Selway is hosting informal drop-in sessions each Friday morning. This time will enable parents/carers to meet up and perhaps seek support and advice. Mrs Selway can offer advice and also provide links to other organisations who offer support. If you have a worry of any kind, or just would like to have a chat with other parents and carers - pop in!
May Bank Holiday - Advance notice
Please be aware of a change to the published May Bank Holiday. The new Bank Holiday date is Friday 8th May. This is in order to recognise the national celebration of VE day.
It is very important that all pupils are back to school on Monday 11th May as this is SATs week for Year 6. All pupils are expected to sit these tests on a set day and at a prescribed time.
Attendance
Well done to the following classes who got over 97% this week:-
- Year 2 - 99%
- Year 3 - 98%
- Year 4 - 97%
- Year 5 - 97%
This means that Year 2 will have a non-uniform day on Friday 6th March.
