Dear Parent/Carers,
Bristol’s Biggest Bike Ride
Bristol's Biggest Bike Ride takes place on Sunday 12th June and is suitable for all ages and abilities. Come on your own or with friends or family and join thousands of other riders. The Family Fiesta route is flat, short and easy to ride and you can do as much or as little of it as you want. Bring your own bike or borrow one of our adapted bikes (advanced booking essential). There will also be a chance to have a go on our adapted bikes in the bike try out area of Millenium Square before or after the ride. To find out more details please log onto www.betterbybike.info/bikeride.
Attendance
Mrs Ford and Mrs Patton had 97%, with Mr Conlon’s class with 96%, and Miss Wright with 95% attendance. Overall attendance this year has been 94.5% which is an improvement on last year but could still be better. Thank you all for your good attendance.
School Meals
After the school holiday packed lunches will be available on the lunch time menu. The packed lunch menu will be attached to this newsletter.
