Dear Parents and Carers
Sports Day
Sports Day - Monday 18th July, Filwood Fields
The current plan is for Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes to start first thing in the morning with Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 to follow later in the morning.
We will give exact timings nearer the time so adults can come and support their children. All children are to arrive at school at the normal time and will be collected from school at normal time.
The children will wear their PE kit (black/blue shorts and white t-shirt) and trainers or daps to school. All children will need a water bottle.
If the weather is either very hot or it is raining there may be changes to the arrangements and these will be sent by text during the morning.
Mini Market
Well done to our Year 6 class, who ran an amazing Mini Market today, raising over an amazing £650. The children planned some great, fun, fundraising activities , which were enjoyed by the whole school.
Also a big well done to all children - for their amazing behaviour, and to parents for your support.
Top Attenders
As the end of the school year draws closer - we look forward to sharing our Top Attenders for the year. These will be the children who have achieved at least 99% attendance for the entire year. We will be looking forward to sharing some special rewards with these children, so keep your eyes peeled for further news!
Summer Reading Challenge
Last week the children had a special assembly from Bristol Libraries about the Summer Reading Challenge. This year's theme is ‘Gadgeteers’ and children who take part have the chance to win some great prizes through the local library. For more information on how to take part, visit Filwood Library or www.summerreadingchallenge.org.uk
End of school year
With only 2 weeks left of Term, we are quickly approaching the end of the school year. The last day of term for Pupils will be Thursday 21st July.
Cancelling After School Clubs
Our after school clubs at Christ the King have become increasingly popular in the past few weeks, and we often have to operate a waiting list of children that would like to attend each day. We understand that sometimes children do not attend booked sessions due to illness/change of plans, however we’ve recently had a number of children being collected after school when they are due to stay, without informing us. This means they have taken a space at the after school club that could have been given to another child.
If you have booked a session and your child can no longer stay/no longer wants to stay for any reason, please inform the school office before 11.00am so that we can offer the space out to another child.
If you do not cancel your session, and your child goes home (for reasons excluding illness), you may still be charged.
