Dear Parents/Carers,

“Eggstra, Eggstra, read all about it!”  We are eggstremely eggscited to be holding the Easter Egg competition again this year.

We have held this competition in previous years, so we will have to get our creative caps on and come up with a ‘new and never before seen design’!  Year 6, this may be your last opportunity to enter an Easter Egg competition, so I eggspect to see lots of entries from you!

To enter the competition, all you have to do is hard boil an egg and then decorate it.

There are many ways in which the children can decorate their eggs; some eggsamples may include colourful patterns or a play on words’. For eggsample, an ‘eggstra-terrestrial’, or ‘eggs-ercise’.  The eggs may be accompanied by a small scene. We would also be looking for entries to include our School Motto ‘Believe, Achieve, Belong’.

Please label your entries clearly with name, class and year group.

All entries must be in the school hall by Thursday 4th April 2019. The competition winners will be announced on Friday 5th April.

Thank you for your ongoing support,

Miss Hardingham

Anti Bullying Week 2018

Wednesday 31st October 2018

Dear Parents/Carers,

Pupils on the School Council have met and would like the whole school to take part in Anti Bullying week. Anti-Bullying Week helps our school to shine a spotlight on bullying and wholeheartedly support the national drive to raise awareness of bullying and the harm it potentially causes its victims.

The Anti-Bullying Alliance are launching their wear blue campaign and asking schools, organisations and individuals to wear blue on Thursday 8th November 2018 and donate to Bullying UK.
This can be anything from blue jeans, blue top or you could wear something really out there and stand out for bullying…
A contribution of £1 to go towards the amazing work that the charity ‘Bullying UK’ does.
We will also be launching an anti-bullying poster competition. Children are asked to design their own poster about ways to show kindness and bring to school by Wednesday 7th November. Winners will be displayed in and around the school grounds.

Thank you for your continued support.

Dear Parents/Carers,

As you may already know, Monday 12th November is the start of this year’s
BBC Children in Need Appeal Week. Our school is excited to be joining in with others around the UK to participate in fundraising for this good cause.

These fundraising events will help your children learn about the lives of disadvantaged children across the whole of the UK while developing skills like communication, teamwork and decision-making.

This year, on Friday 16th November 2018, we invite your child to dress up in as many spots as possible, in addition to this we will be hosting a Bring and Buy Sale.

We hope that you can help us make this a memorable event that raises as much money as possible by supporting the Bring and Buy Sale at our school.

Please donate any unwanted books, films, music, toys, puzzles, board games, trainers, fancy dress costumes and accessories that we can sell to raise money for BBC Children in Need by Monday 12th November.

Please ensure that any donations are in good condition, clean and in working order.
Avoid electricals to avoid safety issues and potential disappointment!

Each class will then have an opportunity to purchase items from the Bring and Buy Sale. We are asking you to send your child in with a maximum of £2 donation. Items will be sold at either 50p, £1 or £2.

After school we will be asking for donations towards any items left and also selling delicious cakes!

Let’s make a big difference to the lives of children in the UK.

Thank you for your continued support.
