Dear Parents,
After the end of the school day on last Friday of term we received some very exciting news. Two of the films we entered into the Thank You Film Awards have been shortlisted. The children involved in making these films have been invited to an Awards Ceremony at The Print Works in Manchester. Numbers are limited so we have not been able to invite parents to come to the ceremony and see the film on the big screen. Instead we will show the films in Assembly this Friday 2nd May and after school, about 3.35, on Wednesday 14th May.
We are holding Sports Day next Thursday 8th May. You are very welcome to come and watch. We will start as soon after 1.30 as we can. The children just need to bring their sports kit and a hat should it become very sunny. We will provide everything else they need including drinks.
Thursday 8th May is also plant pick up day. If you ordered any plants from the PTA plant sale they will be available for collection after school.
Remember Monday is a Bank Holiday so although we have only just got back there will be no school on Monday. Easter being late has made this feel as if it has come round very fast.
Remember the PTA Quiz night will be on Friday 16th if you fancy a fun evening with other parents from school do come along.
Parents of children in Reception and Year One have received letters about the new universal free school meals starting in September. Please send these forms back as soon as possible as I have to send information off to The Local Authority. If you have not got your letter there are spares in the office.
I am including this term’s dates in this newsletter, as ever these may change.
