Extreme Reading Reminder

Thank you to those who have

already sent in your entries—we

will have a display of these next

term. Why not use the Easter Holidays to take a

photo of your extreme reading and either bring it in

or email it so the school at

admin@longleaze.wilts.sch.uk.

All entries will go into a prize draw which will be

drawn next term.

Thank you

To Ms Piper and Mrs Peaker for all they have done for Longleaze School as two of our Governors. Their help and support over the years they have served has been much appreciated. They are both stepping down due to other

commitments.

Also to Mrs Peaker as she leaves us next

term to take up a job at Royal Wootton

Bassett Academy - good luck!

LSA news - Winners of Competition

Thank you to the children who entered the Easter Competition. It was a very difficult choice as they were all very unique and artistic, but the winners are:

1st place - Chloe Peaker in Ash Class

2nd place - Freddy Richardson in Oak Class and Dylan Brook in Chestnut Class

3rd place: Owen Cheesewright in Lime Class

The winners received an Easter Egg and everyone who took part was given an Easter treat for their efforts.

Early Drop Off

We are continuing to have children

turning up to Early Drop Off having

not been booked in and this is

making it increasingly difficult to cater for and

supervise correctly.

The booking forms are put out well in advance

and are available on the website or from school

reception . You are also able to make payment

on Parent Pay if you are booking for the full

month.

Please make the effort to get the booking forms

in on time so we may plan for the numbers

expected. If children turn up without prior

booking we cannot guarantee that they will be

able to have breakfast and they will be asked to

wait in the library until registration opens and

you will be contacted to let you know this has

happened.

Can we also remind you that the daily increase in

cost to 80p applies from 1st April. Many thanks.

Here's another performance opportunity. Entertain the crowds at RWB Christmas Lights from 6.00pm Friday 4th December 2015. As last year there will be a stage, only bigger, and a big screen too. And individuals and small groups will be able to perform in vari-ous other places, some indoors.

If you have a "direct Bassett connection" and want to take part, contact Lisa Williams for details and an ap-plication form: <lisawilliamsmusic@gmail.com> or Mb 07989 834120. First come first served.

Longleaze School Annual Fun Run

We will be holding our annual sponsored Fun

Run/Walk for the children School.

The emphasis of this run is to combine fun with the development of a

healthy body and a sharp mind. We are happy also to encourage the

children to walk the course if they prefer.

Due to circumstances beyond our control we will be unable to use our

field for this event this year and we hope to be using the Gerald Buxton

Sports Ground in Rylands Way for the run. Parents/carers are welcome

to come and watch. We will issue a timetable before the run so you

know when your child’s class will be taking part.

If you are able to help on the day and have a few hours to spare on

Friday 17th April 2015, please speak to Mrs Hopkins in the School

Office.

Full details of the run and a sponsorship form have been sent home with

your child today.

We will be using funds raised to boost our mini bus funds.

Don’t Forget!

Once a week - take a

peek!

Together we can beat

head lice.

Braeside reminder to Year 5 parents

If you have not yet returned your Braeside form,

please do so by Monday 13th April. The

assumption is that all children will attend the

residential trip. If you need to discuss this with a

member of staff, please speak to Mr Yeo or the

school office.
