School Newsletter
Summer Term 2009
Newsletter No. 9 - 12th June
Dear Parents,
The weeks are passing quickly towards the end of term but there are still a number of events I need to draw your attention to, please read on!
Lost Property
We have lots of lost property items, most of which have no name! They will be on a table in the playground on Monday 15th June, please check to see if you can claim any items. The rest we will be sending to a charity.
African Day of the Child
On Tuesday 16th June we are celebrating African Day of the Child. The children will be taking part in activities relating to Africa, with particular reference to Bo, our link school in Sierra Leone.
Sponsored Bounce
The friends are organising a sponsored bounce in school on Thursday 18th June. All the children will take part and a sponsor form will be sent home with your child.
Induction Day
Wednesday 24th June is induction day when all children spend some time in the classes they will be moving to in September. Please remind them it is only for the day and they return to their own classes the next day! Year 2 children will be visiting their Junior Schools for September. All children going to All Saints Junior School for the day will require a packed lunch. Children entitled to a free school meal can be provided with one from school, please ask in the school office.
School Sunday
We are pleased to be taking part in School Sunday on Sunday 28th June in All Saints’ Church along with All Saints Junior School. We meet at 9.30am and this year the children will be singing one song with the junior school. Parents can drop children off if they cannot stay and they will be looked after by staff. The service concludes at 10.30am and unaccompanied children will be looked after until they are safely collected. I hope as many of you as possible will be able to attend. The children do not have to wear school uniform. Please can you confirm with your child’s class staff if they are going to be attending.
Intercultural Festival
Twelve Year 1 Oak children have been invited to attend an Art Festival Workshop at Lillington Primary School in Leamington on Tuesday 7th July. The workshop is part of the Intercultural Creative and Performing Arts Festival 2009. If you have a large car and would be able to help with transport on this day please speak to Miss Johnson.
Yellow Pages Challenge
I am very pleased to tell you that we have been given a Silver Award for outstanding achievement in recycling 681 Yellow Pages. Thank you for all your support and hard work. We have been awarded a prize of £200 which we are going to spend on gardening equipment.
Twycross
The whole school will be visiting Twycross Zoo on Wednesday 1st July. All children should have received a letter; please return your payment and permission slip as soon as possible. If you are able to help on the day please speak to your child’s class staff.
