Dear Parent/Carer,

Nepal Earthquake Appeal

Thanks to your generosity this morning, we are able to send off £158 to the help the victims of the earthquake in Nepal.

Downs Syndrome International

Congratulations to Mr Turvey for completing the London Marathon on Sunday on behalf of Downs Syndrome International.   Year Three are at present working overtime cooking up scones and doing other activities, plus two girls from Year 6 (Natalia and Summer) did a sponsored walk yesterday evening in aid of this charity.  We will let you know how much has been raised in due course.

Reading at Home

Reading is the most important homework that parents can do with primary school children.

It is most important that children recognise that their parents take an interest in and value the reading experience. Remember, your child's education is a partnership between home and school.

We hope that all parents will enthusiastically encourage their children to read at home by sharing a book with them. For younger children please use their reading records to show they are reading at home.

School 5 Minute Walk Zones

Five Minute Walk Zones aim to encourage children and families to walk for at least part of their journey to and from school.  They increase opportunities for healthy exercise, reduce traffic and congestion around the school gate and improve the local environment for the whole community.

Steps to creating your Five Minute Walk zone is available on the School Travel facts website: http://bristol.schooltravelfacts.com/news.php
