Information to Share Payments - please ensure any remaining PGL payments are made by end of term where possible. Please contact the office if there are any problems with this. As we approach the end of term it will also be helpful for school dinners to be paid up to date. If your child is in year 6, all lunches must be paid by the end of next week please.
If you need to know how many dinners are outstanding please contact the office.
Learning Journey Reports - these will be coming home on Monday with your child. We ask all parents to read the attached letter carefully, especially if you live in different households. We hope you will celebrate this year's successes with your child.
Photos from Events and Activities - we like to share photos of trips and events with you so you can discuss the experience with your child. To share these safely, we will be adding them into a secure part of the website that can only be accessed by parents once signed in - group discussion. You should see a notification on your phone when something has been posted or you can sign in via a computer. We will only be sharing photos on Instagram and Facebook if children's faces cannot be fully seen. This is to reduce the risk of shared images being manipulated if accessed by the public via these sites.
First Strokes Swimming offers - as you are aware our federation children attend First Strokes swimming lessons,during school time. Please see attached leaflet for their private lesson offers.
Menu Change Wednesday 15th July - please note the menu options on this date will be Beef Burger in a bun or Margherita Pizza, both served with chips, with the option of beans or peas. The dessert will be Victoria Sponge. Jacket potates and sandwiches will still be available to order as well.

REMINDERS!!!! Please keep up to date with payments - whether it's dinner money or PGL. Thank you. Please ensure your child has a named coat or waterproof in school for break times - we do like to get outside even if it's a bit drizzly. Earrings must be removed for PE lessons.

Look out for lost property on the lunchbox trolley each evening. |

Every week we encourage parents to support their children to learn and use new vocabulary. In school we will be exploring the origin of new words, what they mean and how to use them effectively in context. If you can encourage your child to use these words it would be really helpful!
