Science Week
Please can all children bring an empty clean jam jar for Monday 13^th March as part of our science week activities, we will be growing crystals in them with students from QES. On Tuesday the year 6’s will be heading to QES for a 1 hour science demonstration and the rest of the school will be having a day of workshops based on the theme for this year’s science week, ‘CHANGE’. On Wednesday we will have a lecturer from Lancaster University joining us to do some computing workshops.

Film Club
Next Tuesday 14^th March we will be watching The Game Plan.

Go Orange for Orangutans – Assembly and Cake Sale
The Upper Juniors have been working on an assembly which they would like to invite you to, at 2.45pm on Thursday 16^th March.
The children would also like to raise some money for the “Go Orange Appeal” and would like to have a cake sale after the assembly. Therefore, we are asking if you would be so kind as to provide some cakes we can sell, with an orange theme if possible, and for children to bring along some money to buy cakes after school. Tea and coffee will be available to parents after the assembly.

Swimming
You will no doubt have heard that Hornby Swimming Pool is due to close on 31^st March.  We are currently exploring alternative arrangements for September and will let you know what we manage to arrange. Children in years 3, 4 & 5 will continue to swim for the rest of March, their last lesson will be on Monday 20^th March. Children will just need their normal swimming kit for the next 2 weeks, as they have completed their life-saving skills.

Edinburgh Residential Visit
Just a reminder to parents that the final balance needs to be paid by the end of this month. Regular payments, or indeed full payment, can be made anytime between now and then. Payments cards were sent out last term, please do come and talk to us if you have misplaced the card or if payment within this timescale is difficult.

PTFA Meeting
The next PTFA meeting will be held on Wednesday 15^th March at 2.15pm, please do come along.

Parent / Carers Night Out
A night out has been arranged for the Saturday 1^st April. If you are interested please let Diane Lawson know as soon as possible.
