Lunchtime Football Club

We are excited to advise that Football Development East will be running a lunchtime football club for children on Mondays, starting 15th May. Places will be offered on first come basis.

The KS2 session will be held from 12.00 to 12.30pm with children eating lunch afterwards. It would be preferable for them to bring a packed lunch that day if possible, so they don't miss the start of their club.

The KS1 session will run from 12.30 - 1.00pm once they have eaten. Reception children will have a separate session to learn fundamental skills from 1.00 to 1.45pm.

There will be no cost for this, it will be fully funded by school. If your child would like to take part, please email the office before next Friday, 5^th May, so we can add them to the list.

Adders Bikeability course

As per the letter sent home last week, we have secured a booking with Suffolk County Council to come in to school at the end of term to deliver a Bikeabilty course to Yr 6 and Yr 5 children. We currently only have 7 signed up so if you would like your child to take part, please can you send in the consent form by the end of next week so we can confirm the booking. It would be a shame for Yr 6 not to take this opportunity to learn how to ride their bikes safely.

Mental Health and Well-being

Please find details of online workshops about supporting young people's mental health and well-being. Some of you expressed an interest in this focus when we consulted you back in September, so you may find them helpful.

The workshops are delivered as live Zoom sessions and are 60 minutes long.
