Parent Consultations

Our next set of parent consultations will be held on 30th November and 1st December.  These are open to all parents/carers in the school - from reception through to year 6.  Please log onto School Spider to book your appointment.  These will be available from today until Tuesday 29th November.  After this date, appointments can only be made via the school office.  If you are unable to find a convenient slot please email into the office. Please note that there are two sessions for Hedgehogs parents for Wednesday 30th for  Mrs North and Mrs Duff, running at the same time. Please pick a slot in either Hedgehogs A or B. 

Christmas Lunch

Please see the attached menu for Christmas Lunch.  This will be held on Wednesday 14th December.  DINNERS MUST BE ORDERED IN ADVANCE.  Please complete this form even if your child will bring a packed lunch on that day.  The deadline to order is Tuesday 29th November for EVERYONE to reply.  For those children in Years 3 to 6 who normally pay for dinners, the cost of the meal will be £2.50 - this can be paid in cash (in a named envelope) or via School Spider.

School lunches

Please ensure that any payments for dinners, and morning club owing are paid over the weekend, thank you.

Swimming

Next week swimmers will be assessed on water safety.  Please send them in with their swimsuits and also an old t-shirt and shorts or pyjamas for their lesson.

Uniform & Coats

Please ensure that children bring a coat to school every day.  The weather is getting colder and we do try to get outside at play and lunch every day.

Please ensure all clothing is named - including PE kit and the hoodies and jumpers that the children wear for PE days - these are the items that we have left most often, and are un-named.

 

Bentley photographic have confirmed that the children' photographs are available online for you to view and purchase. The order by date for the free school delivery is Tuesday Nov 29 2022.  After this date parents will be required to pay for a home delivery. If any parents have misplaced their tickets with the codes, please contact [email protected] and they will be happy to assist.

 

We had lots of children wearing their Pudsey outfits today, with and without spots.  We will let you know the total amount raised next week as we still have the cake sale to come and some children want to bring their contributions in on Monday.

 

 

Well done to the children who took part in our two sporting events this week.  They did really well, and thank you for the support from parents who watched and dropped off early or picked up later than normal.

 

 

We have been invited to sing at Bypass Nurseries on Wednesday 7^th December,  from 5pm, we would love to see as many children taking part as possible, and their families.  Children will be learning Christmas songs in school. 

 

It is our Advent Tree Service on the afternoon of Thursday 1st December.  Children will be making tree decorations and parents are invited in from 2.45pm to join our tree service.

 

There will be a non-uniform day on Friday 2nd December in exchange for donations of items for Adders tombola stall at the Christmas Fayre. Please send in non-perishable goods/ toiletries/ bottles that can be put in the tombola at the fayre.

 

 

The Christmas Fayre is on Monday 12th December at Bentley village hall. (see poster attached).  The children will be singing at 2:50 to get us all in the Christmas mood for the Fayre which will run from 3:15 onwards. If anyone is able to help us set up earlier on in the day or help run a stall please let any of the PTA know it would be much appreciated.  Also if you know any local crafters or small independent businesses that would like the opportunity to have a stall at the Fayre please let us know or pass on our email for more information. [email protected]

Thanks, PTA 

 

You may have seen that there will be an extra Bank Holiday next May - on Monday 8th May, therefore school will be closed on that day.
