Choir – Concord College – 15th June 2017

Thank you for returning your permission slips so promptly, we have now reached our maximum allocated numbers for children and parents.

Parents who have shown interest in attending must arrive before 9.45am, Concord will not allow you to arrive halfway through the performances as it is too distracting for the children on stage.

Gardening Party Saturday 10th June

Can you spare a few hours this weekend on Saturday 10th June? If so, we would love you to join us at our next gardening party.

We still have lots of fences to be painted (weather-permitting) and some of the play equipment to be reinstalled, as well as plenty of other jobs, so your help is much needed. If you would like to take part in the event on 10th June, please could you sign the contact list in reception or speak to myself or Catherine Orrell.  We are not sure yet if there will be refreshments, as we know that several of the FOBS ladies are unavailable on Saturday, but we will let you know later in the week.

Our aim is to finish as much as possible this weekend so that the children can start to enjoy the wildlife garden before the end of term!

Thank you in advance for your support.

Welcome back

We are pleased to welcome back Mrs Conde who will be working in Class 4 alongside Miss Carr and Mrs Foster for the remainder of the summer term.

Class 4 D.T

In Class 4 we will be completing our D.T project next week, and the children will be making dome structures that they designed before half term.

We would be very grateful for any donations from Class 4 parents of cardboard tubes e.g. Kitchen roll tubes, empty wrapping paper tubes etc., in order to help the children build their structures.

Thank you!

I hope you are all having a wonderful half term.

Liverpool Trip – thank you

On behalf of staff and governors, thank you for your support today and for the positive response towards our decision to cancel today’s visit.  Mrs Foster and Miss Carr will send out a letter once they have made arrangements for an alternative visit later this term.

Many thanks

Mrs Johnson

We still have a few surveys at the school office if you have mislaid the original information pack.
