NEWSLETTER FOR WEEK BEGINNING
Monday 10th May 2010

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Thunk this Week is – ‘What if… We are thinking about all children adopting a senior citizen’

Class with the best attendance last week was – FSSA
Raffle ticket winner last week was – Lois Carroll< br /> Well done!

May we please remind you that if you need to take your child out of school for any planned appointment such as medical, funeral, music exams etc that we do require a form completing which then can be returned to you with written authorisation. This will also save the school phoning to find out where your child is if they are not in school for registration.

Congratulations to Kate Spencer who has been chosen as the Gala Princess and to Lisa Calderbank and Anna Muirhead who will be her attendants at the forthcoming gala and gala sports night. It was a very difficult decision to choose the Royal Family and the other entrants, Emily Ballard, Libby Berrisford, Lucy Taylor and Grace Harby have all been asked to join the parade through the village.
