Dear All,

As I write this it’s supposedly the first day of Spring– so that’s something to look forward to.– Well done to all those children who came to school on Friday in their home clothes to raise money for CAFOD– altogether we raised £327.31 which is a super amount for really very little effort. If you donated to Comic Relief at the same time -thank you.

One of the other little reliefs from Lent, as well as St Patricks day, is of course Mothering Sunday which this year is Sunday 31st March. On the Friday before i.e. 29th March we would like to invite all the mums into school at 2:30pm to come into their child’s class and help them to make an origami flower, or some other craft work which they can then take home. We’ve set aside an hour as of course some mums will have to divide their time between more than 1 child!

We had a great turn out of mums and dads for our Early Years tea party for our nursery and Reception children on Tuesday afternoon with lots of cakes, scones and cups of tea consumed. All monies raised will go towards the children’s end of year trip

On Wednesday, 10 of our Year 5 children alongside Miss Ryan attended an Active Health conference at Greenacre School to promote healthy living amongst our whole school community. The children will become healthy living ambassadors and will promote exercise and healthy diets to us all– watch this space to find out more

Next week marks the beginning of our parent day consultations beginning on Monday with Y6, I look forward to seeing everyone attend. We would be very grateful if you would complete a parent survey for us on our school Ipads while you are in at the same time.

Thank you  Mrs K Sexton
