Spring Term – Edition 16

Reminder – Friday Bags – as you are aware, each Friday, a bag is sent home via your eldest child which contains a variety of information for you to read and, in some cases, act upon. This is a very important means of communication between school and home therefore, please can you ensure that you empty your child’s bag on receipt ready for returning back to school every Monday. At present, we seem to have a number of children failing to return their bags so we have no means of assurance that the information sent out each week has been received. The bag is to be used to safely return any reply slips, completed forms and money etc. It is important to ensure that your child knows to bring back and hand in their bags each Monday, especially if you have placed money inside – thank you.
For children in nursery, please return bags on your child’s first day back at nursery following picking it up at the start of the week.

Infant Cooking Classes – the infant bake will resume this Monday, starting with Neve, Thomas & Megan. The infants will be cooking in groups, on a rota basis and in this week’s bag, you will find a letter from Mrs Mather with full details and ingredients.

Infants – please could all infant class children bring in a 2-litre bottle for Monday please. Thank you.

Junior Class Newsletter – all juniors will find a class newsletter giving you specific information on the focus of studies for this term.

Arnside Residential Visit – looking ahead to the summer months already and, in particular, the residential visit to Arnside in July! Just to remind parents that the final balance will need to be paid by the end of March. Regular payments, or indeed full payment, can be made anytime between now and then using the payment cards previously provided. If anyone has lost or mislaid their card, please do let us know as we can produce more to enable you to keep track of your payments.
