Coffee Morning
The junior department is planning to hold a coffee morning later this
term commencing at 9.00am with entertainment following at 9.30am. Parents,
grandparents and friends are invited to attend. You will be informed of
the date when the event is finalised.
Sport
In their first match of the season the netball team played away at Acrefair.
All the hard work paid off when we won 21 - 1; a very promising start.
Well done to the team, their new coach Mrs Richardson and many thanks
to the parents who help with training and transport.
Gardening Club
The club has been busy harvesting the fruits of their labour from earlier
in the year. They have now planted about 200 daffodil bulbs behind the
MUGA. We are very grateful to Mr Jarvis for his support and enthusiasm
for the club and garden projects.
Parent Teacher Association
Following the success of the summer fair which raised £2100, the
committee rounded off a very successful year with a summer disco. The
next events that have been organised include a Bingo Evening, non-uniform
day, Christmas Fair and a Christmas disco. All parents at school are welcome
to attend the PTA meetings, we always need new members; look out for the
posters and flyers advertising the meetings, bring your ideas along and
help raise much needed funds for pupil activities and resources. Alternatively
see a member of the PTA or call into the office.
Marie Curie Daffodils
We are all planting a daffodil bulb again this year. They provided a lovely
display around school last year and the children were proud of their achievements.
Each class will participate in a sponsored daffodil activity at some point
in the school year with money raised going to Marie Curie Cancer Care.
The children have been given some ideas and will soon come up with their
preferred activity. It should be fun!!
