Fantastic Friday – Friday 8th November 2013

Children who don’t usually have a school dinner during the week have the option to have one on Friday. The cost of this is £1.90. Fantastic Friday menu next week is:

Lamb Burger with Chips, Jacket Potato, Sweetcorn, and Ice Cream

A small focus group of parents was held on Thursday 24th October 2013 to talk

about parents involvement in the on-going discussions regarding the status of the

school. It was agreed that a letter would be sent to the Diocese and Local Authority

on behalf of all the parents. The group agreed that a questionnaire will be sent out to you all in the next few weeks to

gather relevant information. Please could you make every effort to return the

questionnaire in order that all your details and feelings are put forward? Thank you.

Mrs Eskdale (School Business Manager)

We have raised £143.85 today for Charity Day. Thank you all for your

continuous support

We have an ongoing collection of used stamps to raise money for RSPB

Save the Albatross appeal. Please tear off stamps from letters you receive and send them in to Mrs

Smith.

My Lunch is Alive!

Key Stage 2 children have all been given a leaflet about a competition

linked to the new film ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2’. If your child

would like the chance to win the fantastic prices on offer, they need to design a ‘foodimal’ then write a story. The address to send their entry to is on

the leaflet.

Thank you to all the parents who attended the Harvest

assembly this week. It was lovely to see so many of you.

THOMAS would also like to thank all of you for your kind

donations.

11 children from our year 5 class were at King George’s Hall on Thursday singing to over 2000 University graduates. They all

showed such confidence and did a wonderful job. Well done to you all.

We say ‘Goodbye’ to Mrs Shaw who is going on maternity leave to have a baby. Good luck and all the best. Do come and visit us with

your little baby.

Thank you to the year 3 parents who came to the year 3 assembly. It was
