Dear Parent/Carer,

Attendance for After School Clubs

It seems that an increasing number of children are attending after school clubs on an increasingly sporadic basis. For these opportunities to be effective we do need commitment from children. If children are regularly missing sessions their parents may be contacted to discuss ending their participation.

Charity Work from Year 3

Year 3 are doing some charity work this year to support two charities.  We chose to support Water Aid because we find it very sad that children in other countries dont have clean water to drink and Ronald McDonald House because we also want to help sick children and their families that live in Bristol.  To raise money for these charities we are planning on holding a Charity Fair on the 27th of June 2014 from 2.45pm till 4.00pm.  Please come and help us raise money to support these charities. We will be selling a variety of healthy smoothies, colourful loom bands with exciting designs.  There will also be a penalty shoot-out, a cake sale and guess the number of sweets in the jar.  We have also written a letter to the local Morrisons store and hope to run a bag pack to raise more money later this term.

Topic Presentations

These are short presentations where the children tell the story of their learning in their most recent topic. In the summer we also invite parents into class, following the presentation, for 20 minutes to look at their child’s work.
Dean Field Study Centre

Letter will be going out next week to year 5 for the residential trip which takes place in February of next year. If you would like your child to attend, please could you ensure you return the completed form together with £.00 to the school office by Friday

Music Tuition

Letters were sent out to parents last week for the current Years 2-5 to book a place for their child to learn an instrument from September. There are spaces available to learn the guitar, violin, Brass, Drum and Keyboard.  Please ensure that a completed slip and the first instalment of £93.50 are returned to the school office by Monday 23rd June.

Summer Parish Fair

This year the the school is supporting the parish summer fair. We are asking for volunteers who would like to be involved in supporting this parish event. If you are able to help out, in any way, however small, please let the school office or Mr. Condon know. Thanks to the parents who have already offered their support.
