Dear Parents/Carers,
A reminder that the

day.

Sponsored Bike Rides
On
behalf of myself and Angus Wallace a big thank you for the £250
raised for St. Peter's Hospice. St Peters Hospice is a Bristol charity caring
for adults with life-limiting illnesses. They aim to improve the quality of
their living and dying while extending care and support to their families and
loved ones.
End of Term Cake Sale and Free Tea, Coffee
and cakes (for parents and carers)
We
will be having our termly fundraising cake sale in a few weeks. These are an
easy and popular way of bringing parents together, raising some funds for the
school and buying some delicious cakes.
We
would welcome any parents who are willing to come in for half an hour to help
run the sale. Last year's sales were a real success so please let the office
know if you can help. We plan on holding our next cake sale on Friday 24th
October at 3.30pm in the school hall. This is the same day as our free
tea/coffee and cake afternoon at 2.45pm, so parents could come in for a chat
and a drink first.

Attendance – Requesting Leave
of Absence
This was a big
problem for us last year with too many parents requesting leave out of term
time.
This has
improved already this year and I would like to thank parents for supporting us
by not choosing to take your children out of school. It makes a big difference
to their learning.
Attendance
Apologies for the non-uniform mix up
this week and thank you to the parent that pointed it out. Non-uniform for
classes mentioned in last week’s newsletter will have a non-uniform
this Monday.
This week well done to Years 1 and
Year 4 with an amazing 100% attendance last week. Reception, Year 5 and Year 6 had a great 99%
attendance. These classes will have a special non-uniform day on Friday 10th
October.
