Another week has flown by as the term hurtles towards the
Easter break – thankfully we are seeing some sunshine so hopefully the nice weather
may help us believe that Easter really is coming.
It has been quite a straightforward week in school apart
from the Year 5 being at Lincolnsfield. They were there from Monday to
Wednesday and had a great time. I found it amusing that when I went to see them
on their return I was trying to have a conversation with them about what it was
like but all I was getting from them was one word answers because they were so
tired. I am sure they all slept very well on Wednesday night. I would like to
thank Miss Kenwell, Mrs Fordham and Mrs Reynolds for giving up their time to
organise and take the children on the trip. Mrs Fordham was celebrating a
special birthday while she was at Lincolnsfield so it was good of her to still
go on the trip but the children had a little celebration for her while she was
there to help her feel special.
Next week we have another special event in school because it
is ‘ Sports Relief’ on Friday, 18th March. To help support the
occasion we are selling ‘Sports Relief’ wristbands in school (and we could do
with selling a few more) for a £1. Then, on the actual day, as you were
informed in a newsletter, the children can come dressed to school in sports-
wear. We are then holding a ‘Family Fun Run’ and we would like as many parents
as possible to join us. It will start with a dance warm up which the children
have been learning in PE but all parents can join in and your children will
help you with the moves. It will be followed by a run of about one mile within
the school grounds. All parents who participate will be asked to make a donation
to Sports Relief. We hope to see many of you there. In my original letter I
said the event would start at 9.15am but it will now take place at 9.30am as it
is Year 2 assembly on that morning as well. The PTA will be serving tea and
coffee on the day and we are also asking for donations of cakes and biscuits to
sell. These can be brought into school either on Thursday or Friday morning.
Remember, all money raised does go to ‘Sports Relief’.
Quite appropriate for ‘Sports Relief’ day is the fact that
we starting our horse riding sessions. All children will receive a letter so
that they know what to take and which day they are going on. On Friday it will
be some of the children from Reception and Year5. As you will remember we are
not charging you for this as we are using our Sports premium money to pay for
this activity.
Another event for the children to look forward to is an ‘Easter
Egg Hunt’ which the PTA are organising. It is going to be held on Wednesday, 23rd
March at the end of the school day. More details will follow in a letter from
the PTA next week.
Have a great weekend. I am going to be very busy as it is my
husband’s birthday and he likes to celebrate it like he is still thirteen.
