Bentley Weekly update 9.9.22
Welcome Back!
Welcome back to all our children and a welcome to Bentley to our new reception children and to Maya. For parents who are new, the weekly update is sent out via email and it will be on the website each Friday. It will hopefully give you information for the week coming up, reminders, and to celebrate what children have been doing. We hope that this will save us sending too many emails to you during the week. We hope you and the children all have a well earned rest this weekend.

After School Clubs
Lego club will not be running this term as they have not had enough numbers. If you do still want to sign up you are able to over the weekend but they will need a minimum number to be able to run. The poster is attached.

We are also offering a funded sports club for Year 5 & 6 children on a Tuesday after school, This will be led by Joe White, our PE instructor who will link the sports to any competitions and tournaments coming up. It will be good for as many year 5 & 6 children to attend. Please send your interest in to the office.

Please can you pre-book your child each week for breakfast club so we can ensure we have enough food for breakfast and staff to supervise the children.

Little City on Tuesday
We have an exciting opportunity for Reception and Year 1 children to join the children at Copdock to enjoy a visit from Little City. There will be lots of exciting activities for the children to take part in and they will also be able to spend the day with Kittens class. Children will be taken to Copdock via mini bus at the start of the day, and spend the day and have their lunch at Copdock. They will be back at Bentley for the end of the day. if you have any concerns regarding this, please contact the office.
