After School Clubs
After school clubs start next week - Tuesday 20th - Dance Club for all year groups, and Sports club for Yr 5/6. Times are 3.15 - 4.15pm. Please can you ensure that if your child wishes to take part in either club that they let Sarah know / the office know this weekend. Please collect children from the playground at 4.15pm.
Chickens
If anyone is able to re-home our remaining 2 chickens or if anyone knows someone who would be able to re-home them, please could you contact the office.
Office un-manned in the morning
As Mrs Cumberland is on the gate at the start of the day, the office is un-manned between 8.35am and 8.50am. If you have any queries or notes to hand in please see her at the gate or come to the office after 8.50am.
Drop off and collection
Now that the new reception children have had two weeks to settle in to school, from next week, please can parents enourage the children to leave you at the gate and walk into school on their own, perhaps with a friend or a sibling to build their confidence and independance in school. If they still have worries about coming in to school, then could you walk them to the playground, just for next week, but then leave them with their friends to be met by their teacher.
At the end of the day we will lock the woodland gate at 3.30pm, so if you are still on the school playground after then, please exit via the main gate. Many thanks for your support.
Uniform order
A reminder that if you wish to purchase any new uniform that orders and money need to be in by Wednesday please. The PTA also have good quality second hand uniform.

If any parents are able to help us with some small DIY jobs or know of any handy-man who has insurance and could help us please could you let us know. We have a growing number of small jobs needed to be done in school.
